-==Aftermath==
-In 1971 an insurrection broke out in erstwhile [[East Pakistan]], and subsequently [[1971 Indo-Pakistani war|war]] broke out between India and Pakistan which ended in the creation of [[Bangladesh]]. Sheikh Abdullah, watching the alarming turn of events in the subcontinent, realized that for the survival of this region there was an urgent need to stop pursuing confrontational politics and promoting the solution of issues by a process of reconciliation and dialogue rather than confrontation. Critics of the sheikh hold the view that he sold the goal of a plebiscite for gaining the chief minister's chair. He started talks with Prime Minister [[Indira Gandhi]] for normalizing the situation in the region and came to an accord called [[1974 Indira-Sheikh accord]] by giving up the demand for a plebiscite instead of the people being given the right to self-rule by a democratically elected government (as envisaged under [[article 370 of the Constitution of India]]) rather than the puppet government which till then ruled.<ref>Sheikh Abdullah; M.Y. Taing (1985), p. 827-838.</ref> [[Syed Mir Qasim]] most famously offered to resign from the office of the chief minister to encourage and institutionalize the landmark [[1974 Indira-Sheikh accord]] in 1975.
