India has long claimed the Pakistan-administered territories of Jammu and Kashmir, which it refers to as Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), as part of its own territory. However, any attempt by India to unilaterally annex POK would likely be met with strong opposition from Pakistan, which also claims the territory.

While India has the military strength to potentially take control of POK, such an action would likely result in a significant escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan, both of which are nuclear powers.

Moreover, any attempt by India to annex POK would be likely to face international condemnation, as it would be seen as a violation of the principle of territorial integrity, which is enshrined in the United Nations Charter.

Ultimately, the resolution of the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan will require a political solution that takes into account the interests of all parties involved, including the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
