He believed that the Kashmir issue should not have been taken to the United Nations. In fact, the matter could have been resolved in Indias best interests before it was taken to the United Nations.Sardar Patel was also unwilling to compromise regarding the Hyderabad State. Later, at Lord Mountbattens insistence, he agreed on November 20, 1947, to the Nizams ceding of external affairs, defense, and communications to the Indian government.After the Nizam rejected the proposal for Hyderabads merger with India, Sardar Patel appointed General J.N.
