Since 1947, India has occupied Kashmir and has stalled, by whatever means at her disposal, the progress towards the holding of a plebiscite - the original and the most universally accepted solution.
In 1957, India further violated the sovereignty of Kashmir by implementing a new State Constitution which, in effect, incorporated the state into the Indian Union, in face of fierce protests from the Kashmiri people, Pakistan and the UN.
The new Constitution was formally adopted on 26th January 1957 and it declared that "the state of Jammu and Kashmir is and shall be an integral part of the Union of India".

 New Internationalist: Mother India   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The concept of the mother as the guardian of the soil and soul of the nation contained in the Hindi term `Bharat Mata', was already profoundly significant to the Indian popular consciousness.
The opening sequence of Mother India shows tractors and cranes churning a landscape as parched as the now elderly Radha's complexion, while in the foreground she is urged by local dignitaries to inaugurate an irrigation canal.
Certainly Mother India belongs first and foremost to the popular Indian cinema-there are even muted song-and-dance sequences and the storyline is straightforward melodrama-but it successfully amalgamates this with both Soviet social-realist techniques and an epic Hollywood sweep.

 Mother India by Gayatri Chatterjee (London: British Film Institute, 2002)
Mother India is a film that I saw with my family in 1958 when I was a girl of 11 and I still remember the outer suburban cinema where we saw it.
She adds that “Mehboob chose Nargis for the role of a traditional peasant woman, even though she excelled as a modern, independent-minded, sexually aware woman – the sexuality that Nargis brought to the screen was not blatant or aggressive but touched with innocence as well as passion and a simple directness”.
Just about five years after India's independence the nationalist slogan that allegorised the nation as the mother/goddess was still a living memory, and the film works on these two levels, that is as both an individual drama and an epic struggle that has a nationalist mythico/historical resonance.

If, despite the IoA of the JandK maharaja, India agreed to the UN resolution on plebiscite in that state, it is because India has always been, from times immemorial, a country that is humane and civilised.

While celebrated as India's answer to "Gone with the Wind," the film is closer in spirit and production to "Raintree County": ponderous, splattery, overstuffed, and interesting in isolated sections rather than in its unsatisfactory whole.
One of the kids dies, the other becomes a bandit, the moneylender sexually harasses Radha, a famine comes, then a flood, and then...well, it is merciful that Radha lacks indoor plumbing or else filmmaker Khan would have thrown in the proverbial kitchen sink.
The American release of "Mother India" promises a "ravishing new print," although the film actually looks more ravaged than ravishing as the original Gevacolor cinematography (transferred to Technicolor) is rather faded and the print is scratched in a few places.
