The situation in Kashmir is unresolved, but similar situations did happen during the Partition.

Kashmir was a princely state and its Hindi prince decided to join India despite Kashmir being majority Muslim. Which sparked the '47 war.

Junagadh was a Hindu majority state with a Muslim prince that choose to join Pakistan, but was invaded and annexed by India

Hyderabad was Hindu majority state ruled by a Muslim prince who opted to be independent, but was annexed by India.

Kalat was Muslim majority with a Muslim prince who also opted for independence, but acceded to Pakistan under military threat.

it escapes a lot of people in the west that the partition was a completely unnecessary shitshow that killed millions of people entirely because the UK wanted to cripple an independent india
