Abstract

Kashmir was ruled by the Afghans from 1752 to 1819. This period is mainly recognized for its literature contains historical evidence. The determination of this study is to evaluate the historiography of “Afghan Rule” in Kashmir. The historians who have been writing about the 18th and 19th centuries think that the literary evidence of Afghan rule in Kashmir can be understood within the context of an intermittent of power struggle. Tribally minded people fought against proponents of a proposal to establish a secular state run by a centralized, unbiased bureaucracy under the control of a dictator. The comprehension of the time period's political and cultural aspects does not seem to have been a priority for the historians. The political system and political dynamics of the Afghan Rule are still unknown because of the odd nature of the chronological evidence that has survived from that time. This is an attempt to highlight the literary evidence of cultural history of Afghans over Kashmir. This study depends on the on secondary sources.
