Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
Kashmir in the words of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir a “paradise on earth” remained under Afghan rule (1753-1819 AD). The valley of Kashmir stretched over a vast area, with Tibet, Kashgar and Ladakh in the east, Punjab in the north, Badakshan and khorasan in the south and Afghanistan in the west. The occupation of the land by the Afghans shifted the bridle of reign from Delhi and Agra to Kabul, Qandhar and Herat, which affected the destinies of the people living in the territory. The valley during the period experienced the rule of Ahmad Shah Abdali, Timur Shah, Zaman Shah and Muhammad Shah. The sources revealed, though they ruled with the administrative set up as established by their predecessors, yet the people of the valley passed through suffering and agony. The peasants left the land uncultivated, revenue exactions were multiplied, and trade declined industries doomed and economic resources were drained off, which collectively created an atmosphere of threat in the society. The valley presented a deserted look.
