Kashmir Valley · Western Himalaya & Trans-Himalaya
There was no British administration in the valley to agitate against. From 1846 Kashmir was a province of a princely state, so anti-colonial politics arrived late and arrived sideways — as a demand for responsible government from the state's own ruler rather than for independence from an empire, and with the British presence felt through a Resident rather than a collector. What came first was economic: shawl weavers protesting taxation in 1865 and silk factory workers striking in 1924, both suppressed, neither party-political. Organised politics dates from the agitation of 1931, and the parties formed after it split within a decade over whether the movement should be broadly based or community-based. The account below ends in 1947.
विद्रोह और आंदोलन
Shawl weavers in Srinagar, taxed through the state's dagshawl department and bound to their karkhanas by debt, assembled at Zaldagar to press their grievances after wages were withheld.
परिणाम: State troops broke up the gathering; a number of weavers died, some in the canal beside the ground, and organisers were imprisoned or expelled from the trade. It is the earliest recorded collective labour action in the valley.
Workers at the state silk factory in Srinagar struck over wages and the conduct of supervisors, and a memorandum of grievances was submitted during the Viceroy's visit to the state that year.
परिणाम: Leaders were dismissed and prosecuted, but the memorandum is generally treated as the first political petition by Kashmiri Muslims as a group.
A speech at the Khanqah-i-Muallah in June led to the arrest of Abdul Qadeer for sedition. On 13 July a crowd gathered outside Srinagar Central Jail where his trial was being held, and was fired on; twenty-two deaths are the figure usually given.
परिणाम: The state appointed the Glancy Commission, which reported in 1932 on grievances in employment, education and land. The valley's first political parties were formed in the same year and a Praja Sabha with a partly elected membership followed in 1934.
The National Conference launched an agitation arguing that the Treaty of Amritsar of 1846 was not a valid basis for the dynasty's title to the territory, and demanded that the state's government be handed to its people.
परिणाम: The leadership was arrested and tried; Sheikh Abdullah was sentenced to three years' imprisonment in September 1946.
