HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES IN KASHMIR DURING THE 19TH CENTURY

Abstract

Located in the foothills of the western Himalayas, Kashmir Valley contains prostaglandin deposits, which is considered to be the densest and most extensive in the Indian subcontinent. These deposits serve as the best and most important repository for changes in land palaeontology. The Himalayan valley is bounded on the north-east and south-west by the PirPanjal Mountains (Panjal Thrust). History recalls that there was a battle for 5000 years for Kashmir yet the problem of Kashmir has never resolved. The historical records reflect the fact that Kashmir has always been ruled by Hindus and it is for Kashmir that both Hindus and Muslims have fought among themselves.
