Abstract

The Kashmir Valley, also called the Vale of Kashmir, is an intermontane valley in the northern region of Jammu and Kashmir, a union territory governed by India. It is a key part of the larger Kashmir region, which has been subject to territorial disputes involving India, Pakistan since 1947, and China since 1962. Enclosed by the Himalayas, with the Pir Panjal Range to the southwest and the Greater Himalayas to the northeast, the valley spans approximately 135 kilometers in length and 32 kilometers in width. The Jhelum River traverses the region, which forms a major part of the Kashmir Division. Recognized as "Paradise on Earth," Kashmir is a prominent tourist destination, attracting global visitors with its breathtaking landscapes, verdant valleys, and snow-capped mountains. This study examines the region’s leading tourist attractions, highlighting its natural beauty and cultural significance.

Abstract

Kashmir, often referred to as the "Kingdom of Fairies" and "Heaven on Earth," has a rich and diverse history marked by the rule of multiple dynasties, including those of Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist rulers. Each ruling dynasty contributed to the region’s distinct cultural heritage, shaping its identity over time. Culture, which encompasses the way of life of a community, reflects the unique characteristics of its people. The Afghan rule in Kashmir (1752–1819) was deeply rooted in Islamic principles and traditions, significantly influencing Kashmiri society. This study aims to examine the cultural values of the Afghans and their impact on Kashmiri society during this period. Historical evidence suggests that Kashmiri society underwent notable cultural and social transformations under Afghan governance. Various aspects of Kashmiri life, including social structure, customs, early marriage traditions, the status of women, language and literature, culinary practices, currency issuance, archaeological artifacts, monuments, architecture, recreational activities, theaters, the flourishing shawl industry, and the taxation system, were either directly or indirectly influenced by Afghan rule. Despite these changes, Kashmir remained a land of peace and cultural openness, embracing diverse influences and developments. This study is based on information gathered from secondary sources to analyze the cultural and social impact of Afghan rule on Kashmir.

Abstract

This study delves into the historical backdrop of tourism in the Kashmir valley during the Dogra era. Despite Maharaja Gulab Singh establishing Dogra rule in 1846, little attention was given to promoting the tourism industry in Jammu and Kashmir until the establishment of the residency in 1885. It wasn't until the last two decades of the nineteenth century that Dogra rulers, in collaboration with British officials, initiated various measures to enhance tourism in Kashmir. This included improvements in communication, transportation, and infrastructure, along with the establishment of facilities to enhance air services for tourists.

Abstract

Kashmiri Muslims are ethnic Kashmiris who practice Islam and are native to the Kashmir Valley in Indian-administered Kashmir. Sunni Muslims represent almost all of Kashmiri Muslims. They call themselves "Koshur" in their own tongue. The Kashmir Valley was converted to Islam in large numbers in the fourteenth century. Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani, a Persian Sufi mystic from Hamedan in western Iran, spurred this by reaching Kashmir three times in the 1370s and 1380s with hundreds of pupils, many of whom settled in Kashmir. Invasion of Islam began in the 12th and 13th centuries. The first Quran in Kashmir was calligraphed in 1237 AD by Fateh Ullah Kashmiri, who is understood to have been an Islamic scholar in Kashmir at the time. Bulbul Shah, also known as Syed Sharaf-ud-Din Abdur Rahman Suhrawardi, was the first Muslim missionary to set foot in Kashmir. The current essay emphasizes the expansion of Islam in Kashmir Valley and the significance of renowned Islamic scholars who spread its teachings there.
