| Summary/Abstract |
The present history of Kashmir begins with the Treaty of Lahore of8 March 1846, which settled the British conquest of the Sikh Empire.1 The Sikhs had preceded the British in a line of conquerors of the region, and a Dogra chieftain, Ghulab Singh, had been made ruler of Jammu in reward for his services to the Sikh Maharaja Ranjit Singh. By 1839, Ghulab Singh had wrested the territories of Baluchistan and Ladakh from Tibet, thus extending Dogra rule northward and eastward from Jammu.
