The men and women of Kashmir are good to look at and pleasant to talk to. They are intelligent and clever with their hands. They have a rich and lovely country to live in. Why, then should they be so terribly poor?" Jawaharlal Nehru' Poverty^ and health^ are inextricably linked to each other. If poverty affects health, poor-health also contributes to poverty in the same way. In other words, poverty and health are linked in a vicious cycle, in which poverty leads to bad-health and bad-health further donates to poverty. Thus, poverty and health are bonded in a two-way relationship as poverty forces the people to such environments that make them sick without decent shelters, clean water, or adequate sanitation. Likewise ill- heath prevents the people from working or affects their socio-economic status by lowering their income. Low income indeed forced them to poverty which ultimately results in poor nutrition, inadequate housing, increased risk of infections and inability to maintain standards of health and hygiene conditions. Nowadays health is viewed as an end product of the growth process because healthier population is considered as an ' S. N. Dhar, Kashmir Eden of the East, Allahabad, 1945, pp. VI-VII. ^ Poverty is a social construction with many dimensions including lack of basic education, inadequate housing, social exclusion, lack of employment, environmental degradation, and low income. Each of these diminishes opportunity, limits choices and undermines hope, and each poses a threat to health. According to World Bank, "poverty is hunger, poverty is lack of shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is not being able to go to school, not knowing how to read, and not being able to speak properly. Poverty is not having a job, it is fear for the future, and it is living from hand to mouth. Poverty is losing a child to illness brought about by unclean water. Poverty is powerlessness, lack of representation and freedom". Mubasher Usman, Socio-Economic Determinants of Pakistan, a Case of Pakistan, Development and International Relations, Aalborg University. Denmark 2009, p. 12. Health is considered as one of the important assets of human beings. According to WHO, health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Later on, economic and political well beings were also included in this definition. See Preamble to the Constitution of the WHO as adopted by the International Health Conference, New York, 19-22 June 1946, and entered into force on 7 April 1948. engine of economic growth.'' People with higher incomes are healthier because they have a greater command over the goods and services that promote heakh. Besides, poverty limits the individual's ability to respond to events such as famine or any disease, or serious illness in the family. It also has grave impact on the health of children as children born in low income families suffered from low-weight which is directly responsible for their death, disability or illness in infancy or childhood. Poverty has also psychological impact on the personality of children as they have to live always in the trauma that you are weak, helpless, and are treated like 'untouchables'. Peeping into the history of Kashmir one gets an account of the different periods of rule Kashmir has witnessed, including Buddhist and Hindu period. Sultanate period, Mughal period, Afghan period, Sikh period and finally Dogra period. It was in the year 1586 that Kashmir after being ruled by the local dynasties saw its fate being coalesced with the Indian empire ruled by the Mughals. The Governors who ruled the valley on behalf of their masters took advantage of Kashmir's geographical location as the valley remained cut off from the rest of world for most part of year after a snowy winter. They ruined the valley for their self- interests and terrorized the masses no matter people would die for the want of food. Consequently, there was decrease in agricultural produce; peasants had become slaves producing all the year for their masters with no self-benefits; and more the life of artisans had become hell as they were charged with multifarious taxes. The shawl weavers had become 'money-making machines' for the successive governments in Kashmir. Their conditions further deteriorated during the period of our study i.e. under the Dogras. The Dogras ruled the valley for more than hundred years from 1846-1947 A.D. The period proved no better than their predecessors as the rulers continued the sinister orgy of oppression, extortion and over-taxation. People from all classes were taxed and contributing to the state coffers in one form or other. Their conditions became worse than beasts and were forced to live under poverty. They came to be known as zulim parast (worshipers of tyranny). In such a backdrop to think that there health standards would be better is to underestimate their conditions. The European travellers who visited the valley described the people of Kashmir as the •* The Report of Working Group I of the Commission on Macroeconomics and Health on 'Health. Economic Gro\vth and Poverty Reduction'. WHO, Geneva, 2001. most indigent and filthiest one. Aldous Huxley remariced that "Kashmiri has a genius for filthiness".' At the same time the people of Jammu were considered as one of the cleanest people in North India. This two pronged policy of the Government benefited the people of Jammu over the cost of Kashmir, and kept them away from the word of 'prosperity'. The focus of the present work is mainly on the wretched conditions of people and their health standards. How the Dogras crushed the different classes of society alike and what was its impact on their day-to-day life. The present study Poverty and Health in Kashmir under Dogras (1846-1947 A.D.) is divided into four chapters.

Received: February 18, 2019 Accepted: March 21, 2019 ABSTRACT: There is a common perception that British rule resulted in poverty, de industrialization etc in India. But as for as princely state of Jammu and Kashmir is concerned the British intervention resulted in positive outcomes. The British intervention resulted in modernization of various fields of Jammu and Kashmir. The introduction of modern education, land settlements ,modern health care, transportation etc. where the outcomes of British intervention. This paper highlights that British intervention resulted in modernization of Jammu and Kashmir not only in short run but in long run. Key Words: INTRODUCTION Once British became absolute political power in the Indian sub-continent, there policy towards princely states remained of two type’s i.e., direct and indirect policy. Direct policy was promoted towards the states which were directly ruled by British through their governors and indirect policy was conceded towards the states, ruled indirectly by British through their residents. The preference to bring a state under direct or indirect policy was mostly determined by state’s geography and economic resources. British annexed Punjab in 1846 and Kashmir being part of Lahore Darbar also came under the suzerainty of British. But at that time fate of Kashmir was determined by the need of time when British found sale of Kashmir inevitable because Punjab was yet to consolidate and North-West Frontier and Afghanistan unsettled.

REVELL COMPANY 19O1 THE CAXTON PRESS NEW YORK. \ \&amp;lt;\o\ C IRENE PETRIE TO MY CHILDREN MARTIN MACDOWALL, LOUIS CHARLES, AND ELEANORA MARY Introduction great missionary biographies are the records THEof incompleted lives. May it not be that the influence exerted by the record is the completion of the work that seemed to be prematurely laid down ? David Brainerd died at the age of thirty, Henry Martyn at thirty-two, Keith Falconer at thirty-one, Mackay at forty-one,, There are biographies of older men, Livingstone, Judson, Patteson, French, which have powerfully affected men, but a disproportionate number of the effective books have dealt with short lives. This life of Irene Petrie is another illustration of this fact. She spent four years in missionary service, and died at the very beginning of her work. It was one more incompleted life awaiting fulfilment in the lives of men and women who will take up the work which she loved and served, through the holy persuasion of her example and spirit. Irene Petrie was one of the first representatives of the missionary movement among students to fall in the forefront of foreign missions. The call came to her in 1891, -and in 1893 she sailed for India. In 1897 she passed away at Leh in the Himalayas.
