LIST OF RULING PRINCES, (IBIEPS AND LEADInG PERSON-

AGES IN THE JAMMU AND KASHMIR STATE.

Jammu and Kashmlr.

1. Beef hietory of Ka8hmir.-Upto the 14th century, Kaehmir was subject to a ~ e r i e s of Buddhist and Hindu dynasties, whose an~ltrle ore related in the celebrated versified Sanskrit chronicle known as the H ~ j a - tclrltilgini the original manuscripts of which were discovered irt Srinngar by Buhler in 1877, and have since been translated by Stein. It was during thie epoch that the really old remains of Kasl~mir a t places like Ielam- abad, 13ijbehara, Pandrattiln, the Takht-i-Sulaiman, Yattan and llnrtand, weid const.ructed. A local dyilasty of Mohamlnadans then established theniselves until Akbar's invasion in 1587, when K'ushmir became an appanage of the Delhi throne, and remained for about two hundred years the summer residence of the Moghul Emperors, the chlef traces of whom are to be found in the Hari Parbat Fort, the pleaeure gardens of Shalemar, Nishat, Achabal and Verinag, and last but not least, the magnificient Chen:~r tree which abounds everywhere. I n 1752 K ~ s h m i r again chang- ed masters and passed from the then feeble control of the Delhi Court i n t ~ the powerful and cruel grasp of Ahmad Shah Abdali of Afghanistan, thz ;trch-disturber of the peace of India in his day; :lnd for the next 67 years, until seized by Ranjit Singh in 1819, was held for the Pclt1hnns by Gcvernors more or less independent of their King.

2. Brief histay Of Jammu.-Reigning about this time in Jnmmu, and owiilg great sway in the surrounding mountain region, wns Ihnj i t Deo, a Dogrn Chief of Rajput descent. H e died in 1780; and the quarrel for the buccaession gave Sikh power the opportunity of turning Jtlninlu and the neighbr.uring hill tracts into u dependellcy. Three gre:~t-grtllirl-nepl~e~vs of Ranjit Deo, by name Gulab Singh, Dhynn Singh and Suchet Singh, took service a t the Silth Coiirt and rose to great fnvour; and in 1818 Maharaja Railjit Singh conferred the principality of Jammu on Gulnb Singl~, thaw of Bhimber and Chibill, which included Pooncl~, on lllljnn Singh and that of Ramnagar on Suchet Singh, as feoffs. Sucliet Si~igll and Dhyan were I<ille[l :rbout 1843. T l ~ c latter 11;1d three sons, Hirtl Sinqh. Jawahir Singh and Moti Singh. Hir t~ Sing11 uppet~rs to hi~ve succeeded to his father's estate, but after his death in 18.14 the Lallore C>overun~t.nt confiscated it.

3. I11 1846 at the close of the first Silrll IVar by tlie victov of the British a t Sobraon, Gulob Singh appeared on the sccne ns nletli:~tor bebweeii the English. and the Sikhs; and under the nt.gotintio1ls which follomeJ t h ~ Sikh Mahal-aja had, in nildition to a 1t1rge forfeit of ttlrritory in the I'unjab. to pay wore of rupees as n war indexnriit~. This he could not lnslnnge and in lieu thereof ceded all his hill territories from tha Berm river to the Indus including Kashrnir and Jammu. But Lord Hardinge, Governor-General, considered the occupntioll of t l ~ e whole of thiv territory inadvieable, as it would so largely increase the extet~t of our frontier. and the military establishment for guarding it, nnd create new and coilflicting interests, while the districts in question, with the

exception of the comparatively small vale of Kashmir, were for the moat part unproductive slid unlikely to pa?. the cost of occupation and manage- ment. On the other hand, the ceded tract comprised the whole of the hereditary possessions of Gulab Singh, who being naturally ewer to obtaiu an indefeasible title to them, came forward and offered to pay the

indenlnity, if constituted independent ruler of Jammu and Kashmir. It ~ , , z ; recognised that the transfer of these provinces to Gulab Sin& would materially weaken the Sikh power, secure the war indemnity, and form a pleasing recompense to Gulab Singh, whom the British wished 9, reward for his conduct and services. Hence a separate treaty embody- ing tile arrangement was concluded with Gulab Singh a t Amritsar on 16th March li.146; from which date the history of the Jammu and Kashmir State as n political entity commences. The treaty put Gulah Singh, as Msharaj2, in possession of all the hill country between the Indus and fhe Ravi, including Kashmir, Jammu, Ladakh and Gilgit; but excluding Lahoul, Kt~lu and some other districts, which for strategical purposes, it myas considered advisable to retain and for which a remission of 25 lrrlchs was made from the crore demanded, leaving 75 lakhs as the final amount to bt:- paid tp Gulab Singh. Gulab Singh had some difficulty in obtaining .actual possession of the province of Kashmir. The last Governor appoint- e d by tht: Sikhs made for a time a successful resistance; and i t was not until the e r~d of 1846 that the Maharaja Gulab Singh was established i n Kaehrl~ir with the aid of British troops.

4. Poonch.-Poonch was included in the transfer of the hilly country to Gulab Singh in 1846. Subsequently Maharaja Gulab Singh appears to have granted Chibal, Poonch and other ilaqas to Jowahir Singh and Moti Singh. In 1884 a dispute having occurred between the brothers and Gulab Singh, Sir F. Currie effected a settlement whereby the Maha . raja granted the two Mians, as they were then styled, the title of "Raja" and certain other concessions. Vide Aitchison's Treaties, Volume XI, 4th edition. The Rajas were, as nephews of the Maharaja, jointly to presezlt the Maharaja with one horse with gold trappings or Rs. 700 iu cash ailnually and they were not to commit any important act in their territory without the advice of and without consulting the Maharaja. The twl, liajas, however, subsequently quarrelled, and in 1852 the Board of lldlninistration for the affairs of the Punjab brought about a settle- ment whereby the whole of Poonch was given to Moti Singh, his share oi the joint tribute of Rs. 700 paid by the Rajas to the Maharaja being fixed a t cne.third of that sum. Moti Singh held Poonch until his death in 1892. In 1859 the bitter animosity which existed between Jowahir Singh and his uncle Gulab Singh reached such a crisis that the British Govclrn~ne~t interfered, and approved an arrangement whereby Jowahir Singh renounced all clairn to his possessions in the Kashmir State in return for a cash allowance. Jowahir Singh died u~ithout issue in 1860.

5. The Maharaja Gulab Sing11 died in August 1857, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Ranbir Singh. The change of rulers happened a t a clitica! t'ime, but both the dying Maharaja and his successor proved tbeinselves stnunch friends of the British Government in the troubles of 1857. The Maharaja Ranbir Singh w;~s invested with the G.C.S.I . , and, on the occaeion of the Delhi Assemblage of 1877, the title of "Indar Mahindar B ~ h a d u r Sipar-i-Saltanat" was conferred on him and he was gazettcti a General in the British Army, and created a Councillor of the E l n p r e ~ ~ . Iniportant incidents during his rule were the Commercial

. Treatv of 1870, the E'nrkand lllission in 1873-74, and the meat famine id 1877-79. The Maharaja Ranbir Singh was the recipient of one of ' Lord Canning i Adoption Sani~ds, but tniling Adoption the sucresaiun Ipasaes under the Dnstur-ul-Amal or will of hlaharoja Ranbir Singh, which i is held vory sacred in the State, strictly in t l i i l male. f

ti. hfirllnrajn R:lnbir Sing11 died in 1885 leaving three sons. I'ratsp ) Singh. tirho was born in 1850, acceded to the Gndi in 1885 nnd died in ./ 1925; Hnm Singll, who died in 1899; and Amar Sing11 who died iu INN. I binharaja Prutap Singh was gazetted a Colonel in the British Army

in 1880, a Major-Oenertll in 1896 uild n Lieutencl~lt-Oenerd iu 1916 end created G.C.S.I. in 1892, G.C.l.E. in 1811 and G.B.E. in 1918. For services in the Great War the late Maharaja was granted tt personal salute of 21 guns on 1st January 1918 and a per~nanent salute of 21 guns on 1st January 19'21. He attended the Delhi Darbnrs of 1903 and 1911.

I A scn and heir was born to the Mnhirraju in Xovenlber 1004 hut died in July 1905.

Up to 1905 the administration of the Statc was carried on by a Council consisting of Maharaja Pratap Singh as President, his brother Raja Sir Amnr Singh, K.C.S.I., as Vice-President, and two officexs from the British ~ervice. I n August 1905 the Council was abolished and its nd-

! ministrative powers were thereafter directly esercised by the Maharaja ; who was assisted by his brother Raja Sir Arnar Singh as Chief Minister. { 'and by t,hree other Ministers. In January 1922 the Maharaja instituted ' an Executive Council consisting of himself as President, Raja Sir Hari- : singh, his nephew, as Senior and Foreign Member of Council and three : 0thf.r members.

: 7. The present ruler, His Righness Rajrajeshwnr Maharajadhiraj Maharaja Shree Harisingh J i Bnhndur. G .C.S.l., G.C.I.E., K.C.V.O, ,

I. A.D.C., nephew of the late Maharaja and only son of the late Raja Sir Am,~r Siilgh was born in September 1895 and acceded to the Gndi, on the 23rd September 1%5, on the death of the late Mnhnrajn. His High- negs was made an Honorary Captain nnd appointed K.C.I.E., in January 1918, K C.V.O. on the 17th March 1922 on the occnsion of the visit of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to India, G.C.I.E. on the 1st January 1929 and G.C.S.I. on the 1st January 1933.

A 6on and heir, Tuvraj Shree Karansingh J i Bahadur, was born to His Highness on 9th March 1931.

8. On the outbrealc of war in 1914, bhe Knshmir Stnte Forces were coneiderably increased. Each of the two battalions mobilised for over- seas service, w a s brought up to u strength of 1,070, n strong depot wns estnhlished and an extra battalion of Infnritry created. The I<nshmir State Farces consisting of one Mountain Battery arid two Infantry battalions distinguished themselves in East Africa and Palestine and won the admiration of the General Officers Commanding these Fronts. I n the war with Afghanistan (1919) the Kashmir forces again rendered considerable assistance to the British Gover~~ment . One battalion of Infantry was despatched to the North-West Frontier Province and a Mountain Battery t o North-East Persia. The corps of Gilgit Scouts gave ueaful nssietance in the War with Afghanistan (1919) by guarding soms

of the Northern Pa.sses leading into the Gilgit Agency and Chitre], Companies of these Scouts were sent to Chitral to assist the forc operating there. Besides these campaigns t,he State Forcee took in various frontier expeditions, e.g. , Hunza (1888), Clhitral (1895), A etc., and rendered valuable servlces on each occasion. The Army was re-organised on "A" Class basis in 192283 and clilssified as 1st Line Troops. I

HUNZA AND N A G E .

1. a u n z a and Nagir are two small States situated to the extreme north- west of Kashmir. They are divided by the Hunza river; towards the north they extend to the mountainous region which adjoins the junction of the Hindu Kush and Mustagh ranges; towards the south they border o n Gik i t ; and on the west Hunza is separated from Ashkuman and Yasill b.? a range of mountains, while the Mustagh range trending south- ward shuts Nagir off from Baltistan on the east.

2. The inhabitants of Hunza and Nagir come from one stock and Veal; the same language, but there has always been in the past, and in a lesser degree, there is still n considerable amount of ill-feeling between the two comnlunities. The people of Hunza are hlaulais ( i . e . , the follow- ers of His Highness the Agha Khan) while the people of Nagir are Shias.

3. The fort of Chalt and its connected villages, lying between Hunza and Nagir and Gilgit, were long a sou;ce of contention between the two States, but in 1877 the Nagir Chief, with the assistance of the Kashmir l h r b a r , succeeded in obtaining possession of the disputed tract. From tha t date up to 1886, Chaprot and Chalt were held by Nagir and Kashmir troops. I n 1886, when General Sir William Lockhart (then Colonel Lockhart) visited Hunza, the Tham of Hunza refused to allow his mission t o proceed unless he would promise to restore these places to Hunza. Colorlel Lockhart induced the Nagir ruler to remove the Nngir portion of tha garrison, which were furnished by Kashmir troops up to 1906 since when no troops have been quartered in either of these States.

4. I n 1886 Ghaznn Khan, the Tham of Hunza, was murdered by his son, Safdar Ali, who after his accession, professed his submission to the Maharaja of Kashmir. I11 1888, however, the two States combined, succeeded in ejecting the Kashmir garrison from Chaprot and Chalt and even threatended Gilgit. Finally, however, Chaprot, and in August of $he same year Chalt were reoccupied by Kashmir troops.

5. On the re-establishment of the British Agency a t Gilgit in 1889, the Agent Colonel Durand, visited Hunza and Nagir, and the Chiefs bound tliemselves to accept his control, to permit free passages to officers deputed to visit their countries, and to put an end to raiding on the Yarkund road and elsewhere. Subject to these conditions the Government of India sanc- tioned for the Chiefs yearly subsidies of Rs. 2,000 each, in addition to *hose already paid by the Kashmir Darbar. Shortly afterwards, in ~ c t o b e r 1889, an increase of Rs. 500 a year was granted to the Hunza Chief's subsidy, conditional on his good behaviour.

ti. The Chiefs, however, failed to act up to their engagements, and their attitude continued to be unsatisfactory. I n May 1891, a combined force from Hunza and Nagir threatened the Chalt fort, but dispersed on the arrival of reinforcements from Gilgit.

7. I n November 1891, the Chiefs were informed that i t was necessa1.g t3 make roads to Chalts and on into their country. They refused to agree, insulted the British Agent's messenger, and assembled their tribesmen in strong positions, blocking the paths into their valley. Their positions, however. were carried af ter sharp fighting, and Nagir and Hunza were occupied. Tham Zafar Zahid Khan of Nagir, who had been acting under the ascendelicy of his eldest son, Uzr Khan, a t once submitted. Tham Safclnr Ali of Hunza and his Wazir, Dadu, fled to Chinese Turkistan,

i

Irhere the former is still detained under serveillance by the Chinese authori.[ tian. Raja Uzr Khan of Nagir was deported to Kashmir, where he diedl in 1922. The subsidies paid to both Chiefs by the Government of India a F . ~ b? the Wshmjr State were withdrawn. A military force was main.! tained in Hunza and a Political Oficer was left there to supervise the/

of the State. This arrangement continued till 1897, when the; crarrison was replaced by the Hunza and Nagir levies and the permanent b

Political Officer was withdrawn. On the 15th September 1892, Muhammad Nazi:% Khan, a halfbrother of Safdar Ali, was formetly installed as Them of Bunza by the British Agent in the presence of two Chinese Envoys, whu:, ;ittended the Darbar as honoured guests of the Government of India. Tham Zafar Zahid Khan was reinstated' by the Kashmir Darbar, with thof approve1 of the Government of India, as Chief of Nagir, his installation taking place on the 22nd September 1892. Sanads approved by the G o ~ r i n m e n t of India, were granted by the Maharaja of Kashmir to both Chiefs.

8. At the commencement of 1895, subsidies, amounting to Rs. 4,000 each were renewea to the Chiefs, half the amount being granted by the Government of India, and the other half being paid by the Kashmir Dorhar.

9 In the same year both Chiefs loyally assisted in the operations for the relief of the British garrison in Chitral and were suitably rewarded.

10. Tham Muhammad Nazim Khan of Hunza and Raja Sikandar Khan of Xngir attended the Coronation Darbar a t Delhi on the 1st January 1903, on which date they were both made Companions of the Indian Empire.

11. I n 1904, Tham Zafar Zahid Khan of Nagir, who had long beell bed-l.idden, (lied and was succeeded bv his son, Raja Sir Sikantlilr Khan. The latter was formally installed as Tham of Nagir in June 1905 b3- the Politicnl r\gei!t. Both Chiefs are now generally referred to under the title of 'Mir' and not 'Tham'. The Hunzn Chief, in view of his claim to thc l<:~sI,:tm and Taghdumbash districts, which are situated to the north of the Hindu Kush watershed, has been permitted to continue to keep up an exchange of presents with the Chinese authorities ill K:~shgilr. As regards Rnskam. the Chinese authorities have acknou,leclged the right of H~iilza to cultivate the tract, and in 1899 a $mall contingent of Silnx:l peol~le started cultivating it. Subsequently these .;et,t!ors were forcil)l,v ejected by the Chinese, hu t they were :\gain replftceri Ly IIuriz:~ in 1914 :rnd have since that date c o ~ ~ t i i l ~ ~ e r l to cr~lt i~rate the land without il~terference on the part of the ('hillese nutlloritles.

I3,lii H u ~ ~ z a and Nagir are au tonomo~~s its r P i l their internal afl'airs, but both acknowledge tlie suzerainty of His Highlless the Maharajtr :)f Ka~hrriir, to whom they pay a tribute of r1omin;tl v:tlue. Uoth furnish two Conlpanies of 80 men each to the Gilgit (:orps of Scouts, iuid each Chief has a Body Gu:ird of 11 men (one Havildnr and 10 Levies) amled with Snider rifles presented b j Government. The two chiefs attended the Coron:rtion Darbar a t Delhi in December 1911. Mir Sir R4uhammad Nazim Khan was created a K.C.I .E. in June 1921 and Mir Shah Sikaridar Khan received the title of K . R . E . on the 1st January 19.23. Mir Sir Alohammad Nazim Khan, K.C.S.I., K.C.I .E. , of Hunz:~, died on 22nd July 1938 a t the age of 72.
