Kashmir's 200-Year Kashmir's 200-Year History

Kashmir is the land of beautiful valleys, high mountains, crystal clear water falls, beautiful landscape & range lands, forests, rivers, beautiful lakes, etc. It is called heaven on earth. Kashmir has 5,000 old history. It was a state of Saints and noble people. The people of different religions were living in peace and harmony. But in 1818, Maharaja Ranjeet Sing attacked the warrior tribe of Poonch ( Suddozai's)  at Mung & Palandri. His army was defeated badly by Suddans. Ranjeet Sing was never defeated in war & he was calling himself the 2nd Alexander the Great, but after this defeat by Suddans he stopped calling himself Alexander.


Then in 1832, Ghulab Sing attacked Poonch again with an army of 600,000 troops against only 60,000 Suddhans Worriors. They slaughtered 35,000 young Suddhans and skinned of 27 Big Elders including Sardar Sabaz Ali Khan & Sardar Malli Khan. 2,700 children & 7,000 women were raped and then murdered. Then, in 1947 the sub-continent was divided on the basis of Two Nation theory ( Hindus & Muslims).

Places To See 

Ranbir Canal - A small garden along the Ranbir Canal, which runs through the city outskirts, provides a cool picnic spot during the summer. The canal branches off from the river Chenab at Akhnoor, 32 kms away. Its water remains icy-cold throughout the year and its banks serve as good viewpoints and walkways

Bahu Fort & Gardens - Situated 5 kms away from the city centre, Bahu Fort stands on a rock face on the left bank of the river Tawi. Perhaps the oldest fort and edifice in the city, it was constructed originally by Raja Bahulochan over 3,000 years ago. The existing fort was more recently improved upon and extended by the Dogra rulers. Inside, there is a temple dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali. An extensive terraced garden, known as Bagh-e-Bahu, has been developed around the fort.
