The present concept of history1 is more detailed study of people, their beliefs and practices, customs and culture and the evolution of societies and civilizations. The course of human civilization is determined to a fairly large extent by the geo-physical conditions of the region, which the people inhabit. The environment influences regulates the life of man and leads a distinct colour to the culture of man. In addition to this there are various spheres of life - social sphere, Economic sphere, political sphere, religio-ethical sphere; all of these structures are responsible for shaping the life style of the people of a particular region. From the earliest times Kashmir has remained as the meeting ground2 of various cultures and civilizations. Obviously the culture of Kashmir has passed through a number of evolutionary stages, before; it assumed its present form. Each stage of the cultural history of the valley is marked by the innovations of profound importance which helped in accelerating the pace of its progress and the ultimate formation of its present character. Many cultures, which from time to time found their way to this land by way of political, religious, cultural or other contexts contributed consciously or unconsciously to its evolution. Apart from retaining some features of their own culture the people of the valley assimilated whatever appeared good to them in the life and thought of the peoples with whom they happened to come into contact. Thus the culture that obtains today in the valley is a synthetic culture, where in the deep imprints of Persian, central Asian, Indian and above all European culture is markedly visible. owing to technological revolution and the rapid communication system, the world has shrunk into a global village and in the wake of cultural onslaughts, many hard core cultures have got diluted; Now days we see a great uniformity in the cultures throughout the globe. The traditional customs, beliefs and values etc are vanishing rapidly. So our Valley is not an exception. It is to be mentioned that the traditional culture of Kashmir could be found in 1. It is no longer desirable to find out what happened only in the sphere of politics. Beneath politics flow currents which basically affect the social life of the people, and considerably determine and influence the course of history. So goes to the modern trend of historiography which has dug deeper and broader into narrow and unimaginative furrows of politics and given them new dimionsions. 2. Kashmir is geographically linked with china, India, Pakistan and central Asia. those remote villages of the valley where it exists less altered.3 Thus the project has endeavored to collect those aspects of village social life of Kashmir which have remained unnoticed and uninterpreted. The rural people of Kashmir of the period under study used to live in small hamlets and the houses stood close to one another. The people were generally linked by economic and sentimental ties; there was a sense of unity and a feeling of amicability towards each other. As a matter of fact there were not many people to live in village and thus they assisted each other as and when any occasion arose in their struggle of life. They were generally in need of one another‘s assistance, Secondly there was not enough of individuality and speed of the life of the village to disable one from paying attention to another and the neighbourers used to have intimate relation with each other. Hence the neighborhood was of great importance in a village Social of Kashmir of the period under reference.

In Kashmir, nature has bestowed with a rich resource of water in the form of lakes, rivers and above all springs. These springs were a perennial water source for local communities. Unfortunately most and a large number of these springs are facing extinction due to neglect which results water shortages in villages and at some places we have water refugees or climate migrants. The springs are critical part of our survival and needs to be preserved. Keeping in view the importance of preservation of these natural resources which is our natural heritage also, INTACH Kashmir initiated a drive to the springs around Manasbal lake which are on the verge of extinction. restore the springs.

Dubey & 3 Subzar Ahmad Bhat 1Research Scholar 2Assistant Prof. Department of History, Mewar University, Rajasthan. 3Research Scholor 1Mewar University, Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. 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.
