Folks!

Just imagine you are living in the world of 1815 AD.

Ask yourself What's going on in the region from Kashmir to Afghanistan and parts in between that are now a country called Pakistan.

So it is 1815 AD, This area is more or less independent of Delhi rule (or soon to be independent).

Move from this year all the way to August 1947. then stop.

And ask some fundamental questions.

1. Will Kashmir be peaceful regions from 1815 AD to 1947. will this be the golden period of Kashmir.
2. Will Afghanistan be peaceful regions from 1815 AD to 1947. will this be the golden period of Afghanistan.

Then ask the same questions with the period from 1947 to 2015AD

1. Has Kashmir been peaceful regions from 1815 AD to 1947. has this been the golden period of Kashmir.
2. Has Afghanistan been peaceful regions from 1815 AD to 1947. has this been the golden period of Afghanistan.

Thank you.


Some of you must be wondering why I started this thread? That old tried question "Why?"

Here are simple answers:

1. To do a controlled study to find the destabilizing factors in the region before and after 1947
2. To learn from the successes of any period that brought stability to Kashmir and Afghanistan before and after 1947.

Hope this helps to focus your answers and posts.


p.s. Since this topic is so vast, I'll continue adding to this thread as time permits.

India was peaceful during the time of Mauryans a bigger empire than the Turkic Mughal empire, the empire include India, BD, Pakistan and India.

The peace was for almost 200 years.

Just think about it!! (based on your logic)


By the way Afghanistan is a sovereign country not a province and is independent.

How did you come to that conclusion that it was peaceful? Asoka massacred 150.000 people in Orisa.

Bhai Jaan

Open a different thread on that and I'd love to discuss.

But this is very much focused on "200 years: Kashmir and Afghanistan" Sp please please stick with 1815-2015AD

Thank you.

Please no distraction from the main thread. Thank you.

The OP also ignored the Anglo - Afghan wars taken place during that time.

Frontier is always a hot place during 1800's also.

Regarding Kalinga war ... it was one time event and that lead to the fall of Mauryan empire, because Emperor Ashoka changed as a person.

Just because we do not have independent historical sources that tells us about the wars and the rebellions during the Mauryan age compared to the Mughal age we can surmise that it was peaceful.

No my dear Sir,

Anything that happened during 1815-2015AD is automatically covered.

Please continue to focus on the time period.

Thank you

Please do not distract from the thread. otherwise you will be given negative rating as a warning. Thank you.

@FaujHistorian you and your obsession with Afghans ..

No Sir. Just the history of region.

Precisely one reason why this thread is focused on 200 years. So there is reasonable amount of documented history.
