Even King Vikramaditya from Ujjain, ruled over this place before transferring the reigns of control to a nomaid tribe named Huns during the 6th century. One of the most terrified rulers of the city was Mihirkula who belonged to this tribe. After the 14th century, the city came under the Mughal rule and was ruled by the Muslim Kings. This city was made the capital during the rule of Yusuf Shah Chak who was then tricked to death by Akbar who set up his dominion on the city post the fall of Yusuf Shah Chak.
On August 14, , the independent, Muslim-majority nation of Pakistan was formed. The Hindu-majority independent nation of India followed the next day. Under the hasty terms of partition, more than princely states within colonial India that were not directly governed by Britain could decide to join either new nation or remain independent. At the time, the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, which had a majority Muslim population, was governed by maharaja Hari Singh, a Hindu.
Unlike most of the princely states which aligned themselves with one nation or the other, Singh wanted independence for Kashmir.
To avert pressure to join either new nation, the maharaja signed a standstill agreement with Pakistan that allowed citizens of Kashmir to continue trade and travel with the new country.
India did not sign a similar standstill agreement with the princely state. As partition-related violence raged across the two new nations , the government of Pakistan pressured Kashmir to join it. Pro-Pakistani rebels, funded by Pakistan, took over much of western Kashmir, and in September , Pashtun tribesmen streamed over the border from Pakistan into Kashmir.
Singh agreed and signed the Instrument of Accession , the document that aligned Kashmir with the Dominion of India, in October Kashmir was later given special status within the Indian constitution—a status which guaranteed that Kashmir would have independence over everything but communications, foreign affairs, and defense.
This special status was revoked by the Indian government in August The maharaja's fateful decision to align Kashmir with India ushered in decades of conflict in the contested region, including two wars and a longstanding insurgency.

This wild African cat has adapted to life in a big city. We will find that the mainstream parties were in fact playing a useful, necessary role. Economic progress and prosperity have been promised to a state whose woes started about the time the rest of the country was opening up to reform.
A sincere effort should be made to improve the lives of ordinary Kashmiris. As far as terrorism and Pakistan are concerned, the constitutional changes in themselves will provide little solace. We have embarked on an immense adventure with emotion and ideology playing an outsize role in the decision making process. You need to educate yourself a bit more. And, this legislative changes on Kashmir is just to make that important point.
Whether Kashmir is a part of India or an independent nation has nothing to do with this change. However, expect any secession to take place after a very bitter war, which again has nothing to do with Article It would happen anyway unless Pakistan accepts the status quo. And by the way, citizens like you are happier watching Pakistan playing on the front foot and when India plays front foot, you cry foul. I once again suggest to you to educate yourself before commenting.
Or admit that you are a saint. Understanding Kashmir doesnt start just with past 70 years of saga with Hari Singh and Sheik Abdulla. The history has much more component to geo-political changes that has been happening over the period of time, thousands of years passing by. If you want us to believe that Pakistan is a saintly state and talking with them will solve all the problems is like Nehru once did.
When our army general told Nehru that he needs another 2 weeks to liberate POK and we can also get Lahore which is the seat of Punjabis, Nehru adamantly stopped and told that he will go file with UN and get the POK legally from UN as if his Chacha is sitting there to gift him Kashmir. If history of these events not taught you any lesson, no one will be able to teach any closed mind.
This is how Brahmin have been ignored by Muslims. I am not your dear and such pathetic attempts to patronize are just silly. Your poor comprehension and willingness to lap up as wisdom whatever is sold to you does explain why these jokers continue to peddle this nonsense. Well, if you are from Tamil Nadu or Kerala the fist thing to do is hate brahmin as if he has stolen your cloths.
And such story also do not have any source. It is like I create my story and say myself as source doesnt mean that there is a history to it.
The author talks about Brahmins ruling. Go and check the history. The rulers of Kashmir were not Brahmins and the Mohammadins walked in only in 14th century. Who ruled Kashmir… there is a big list, not the one presented by the author here.
