A concise summary of political and military events in the history of #Kashmir stretching back to 150 years, though largely focused on #KashmirsAccession to #India and the political events that followed. With this short video, one can truly get a grasp of events. History buffs will find enough intrigue to dig deeper and understand the minds of the men of the day. As always, there are various interpretations of events so do write in your counterpoints and enjoy the end limerick.
Correction:
The leader of the first battalion of Sikh Regiment that flew into Srinagar was led by Lt. Col. Dewan Ranjit Rai, not Ranjit Pai.
Pakistan's Independence is mentioned as August 14, 1946, it should be 1947.
Bisbo regrets the errors.
