Title "Resistance Movement in kashmir (1931-1948): An Appraisal"

Author(s) Aroosa Arshad

Abstract This study explores the Resistance Movement in Kashmir between 1931 and 1948, a critical period marked by widespread political awakening and opposition to the Dogra rule. While Kashmir’s resistance history has often been narrated in fragmented forms, this research specifically focuses on the Poonch Uprising in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), which remains underexplored in existing scholarship. The research identifies a gap in historiography where local resistance dynamics, particularly in AJK, have not been sufficiently analyzed in the broader context of anti-colonial and regional movements.

Description This study explores the Resistance Movement in Kashmir between 1931 and 1948, a critical period marked by widespread political awakening and opposition to the Dogra rule. While Kashmir’s resistance history has often been narrated in fragmented forms, this research specifically focuses on the Poonch Uprising in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), which remains underexplored in existing scholarship. The research identifies a gap in historiography where local resistance dynamics, particularly in AJK, have not been sufficiently analyzed in the broader context of anti-colonial and regional movements. Employing an analytical research methodology, the study critically examines a wide range of primary sources including official reports, archival documents, and contemporary newspapers, alongside secondary sources such as scholarly works and historical commentaries.
