Chinar Trees On The Bank Of Jhelum Srinagar Kashmir 1860

A country tucked away among the mountains, the abode of the everlasting snows. That country is Kashmir. It happens to be where three great countries meet Russia, China, and British India. Kashmir is one of the most beautiful countries of the world ; truly a land flowing with milk and honey. Pastures stretch for miles along the edge of the great pine forests which cover the mountain spurs, and here thousands of sheep and cattle graze. From these meadows, carpeted with flowers of every hue, the bees take the honey and hide it in the trunks of ancient trees. One would imagine that such a country as this would breed a fine race of men, like the Afghans and Pathans on the border, but it is not so. True, the Kashmiris are strong and well built, but they have no pluck and no self-respect . The reason for this is not far to seek.

Maharaja Gulab Singh proved to be a strong and stern ruler. He did not live long to rule over Kashmir, but during the short period of about eleven years he tried to establish peace in the country with a strong hand. Much of his energy was spent unsuccessfully in trying to subdue the frontier district of Gilgit which continued to be in a state of disturbance. In 1852 the Dogras were expelled from all that part of Dardistan which is on the right bank of the Indus. Gilgit went out of their hands and Gulab Singh decided to advance no further. Maharaja Ranbir Singh wanted to regain what his father had lost and to re-establish the name and reputation of his army. and turned his attention towards the frontier of Gilgit. There were internal dissensions between the Rajas of various parts of the frontier. The Rajas of Hunza and Nagar hated each other and were in bitter state of affairs.
