To Ayub's suggestion that India by now ought not to be afraid to accept the U.N.'s recommendations for a plebiscite, Nehru replied that the plebiscite would only stir up ''communal feeling"-Nehruese for the probability that Kashmir's predominantly Moslem population, even after 13 years of living under Indian rule, would still vote to join their fellow Moslems...
