Journal Description
In this issue
Islam existed in Kashmir even 200 years before Kalhana wrote his Rajatarangni. But the immigrants who would come as mercenaries and traders would mostly restrict to an area that was designated for the low-castes, the Mleccha’s. It was only after Zulchu’s devastation of Kashmir and Rinchana’s conversion to Islam that Mlecch Mar got a dignified profile, a status that Saima Bhat found lost in the twenty-first century

KASHMIR'S CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS 1939
The assembly in Jammu and Kashmir is one of the many outcomes of the July 13, 1931 massacre. Recommended by a British officer JB Glancy, the initial assembly, the Parja Sabha had more nominated members from the darbar than the elected ones. The right to vote was restricted to adult males, a candidate had to prove he can read and write before being permitted to contest and the entire seat adjustment was on a communal basis. Right now, a new delimitation process is underway. This write-up by Prof Gulshan Raifrom The Tribune, then published from Lahore, on February 18, 1939, offers some basic ideas about the pre-partition constitutions, assembly and the delimitation process in Kashmir. This opinion also offers an idea about how the Maharaja was loved by the subcontinent’s English media
