Political Activities in Jammu and Kashmir 1846 1946

Many political reform movements were launched in the last decade of the 19th century in Kashmir. These reform movements, in turn, gave rise to the desire for the achievement of a democratic political system in place of autocracy. The early socio religious reform movements among the Hindus and the Muslims made an effective impact on the politics of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. These movements brought about socio political awakening among the people. Political awakening leads to the awareness among the masses about their rights and the nature of relationship that exist between them. In a scenario where the relationship is oppressive and discriminatory, political awakening leads to movements for change of the structure. In this paper I will try to find out the factors responsible for the emergence of political consciousness in Kashmir during the period under study.
