Ranbir Singh's grandson Hari Singh, who had ascended the throne of Kashmir in 1925, was the reigning monarch in 1947 at the conclusion of British rule of the subcontinent and the subsequent partition of the British Indian Empire into the newly independent Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan.
In the first half of the 1st millennium, the Kashmir region became an important centre of Hinduism and later of Buddhism; later in the ninth century, Shaivism arose. Islamization in Kashmir took place during 13th to 15th century and led to the eventual decline of the Kashmir Shaivism in Kashmir. However, the achievements of the previous civilizations were not lost, but were to a great extent absorbed by the new Islamic polity and culture which gave rise to Kashmiri Sufi mysticism.
Kashmir is very beautiful place.
Physical Divisions, Mountains and Passes. The State of Jammu and Kashmir falls in the great north-western, complex of the Himalayan ranges with marked relief variation
Rivers of Jammu and Kashmir. The State of Jammu and Kashmir has many lakes, rivers, and glaciers. Significant rivers that flow through the Jammu & Kashmir from the Himalaya are falling in river basins of Jhelum, Chenab, Sutlej, Ravi and Indus.
