Kashmir

History of Its Causes and Consequences

By: Kelly Mass

Narrated by: Doug Greene

Kashmir is the Indian subcontinent's northernmost geographical area. It is quite different from the rest of India. Until the mid-19th century, Kashmir only described the Kashmir Valley, which lies between the Great Mountain Ranges and the Pir Panjal Mountains.

Today, the word describes the Indian-controlled parts of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, and also the Pakistani-controlled terrain of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Chinese-controlled areas of Aksai Chin and the Trans-Karakoram system.

The Kashmir area ended up being a crucial center of Hinduism and later Buddhism in the first centuries, while Kashmir Shaivism developed later, in the ninth century. This is why so many people attribute significant spiritual meaning to the area. It is no wonder, therefore, that some travelers go to this specific area for spiritual purposes.

In this book, we will explore the history of Kashmir, its significance, and the current circumstances.
