 The Indian victory in Bangladesh increased Indira Gandhi's status as premier in India and she dealt heavily with the Kashmiri demand for plebiscite.She also stated that it was inconceivable to accept Sheikh Abdullah's demand for the restoration of the pre-1953 relationship between Kashmir and India because "the clock could not be put back in this manner".In 1975, Sheikh Abdullah dropped his demand that the people of Kashmir be given the right to self-determination.
