Dogras were mere conniving two bit punks who were handed Jammu & Kashmir on a platter first by the Sikhs who had conquered it from the various independent Muslim chieftains & then the British who sold it again to the Dogras.
Dogras didn’t rule anything they got it via boot polishing Sikhs & British, betraying the former on the eve of British incursions into Panjab.
The problem is our state is so stupid & unaware of the local demographics & ethnic data on Kashmir that they haven’t been able to build up a solid case.
Take for example Gilgit Baltistan, which has never been historically part of Kashmir, its a separate culture & nation to Kashmiris. But due to the stupid govt not being aware of the historical context it has always been lumped with Kashmir, whilst we could have made into the 5th province of Pakistan 4 decades ago now.
