Introductionย :ย
Kashmirย is the northernmost geographical region of theย Indian subcontinent. Until the mid-19th century, the term โKashmirโ denoted only theย Kashmir Valleyย between theย Great Himalayasย and theย Pir Panjal Range. Today, it denotes a larger area that includes the Indian-administered territory
ofย Jammu and Kashmirย (subdivided intoย Jammu,ย Kashmir, andย Ladakhย divisions), the Pakistani-administered territories ofย Azad Kashmirย andย Gilgit-Baltistan, and Chinese-administered territories ofย Aksai Chinย and theย Trans-Karakoram Tract.
In the first half of the 1st millennium, the Kashmir region became an important centre ofย Hinduismย and later ofย Buddhism; later still, in the ninth century,ย Kashmir Shaivismย arose.In 1339,ย Shah Mirย became the firstย Muslimย ruler of Kashmir, inaugurating theย Salatin-i-Kashmirย orย Shah Mir dynastyย Kashmir was part of theย Mughal Empireย from 1586 to 1751,ย and thereafter, until 1820, of the Afghanย Durrani Empire.That year, theย Sikhs, underย Ranjit Singh, annexed Kashmir.ย In 1846, after the Sikh defeat in theย First Anglo-Sikh War, and upon the purchase of the region from the British under theย Treaty of Amritsar, the Raja of Jammu,ย Gulab Singh, became the new ruler of Kashmir. The rule of his descendants, under theย paramountcyย (or tutelage) of the British Crown, lasted until theย partition of Indiaย in 1947, when the formerย princely stateย of theย British Rajย was claimed by bothย Pakistanย andย India. It is currently a disputed territory, administered by three countries: India, Pakistan, andย China.
