Special thanks are due to my supervisor, Prof. Mushtaq A. Kaw, for his able guidance and support that he provided to me despite heavy engagements, both academic and administrative. He critically scanned every word and sentence, and suggested changes from time to time. Honestly speaking, the present work would not have seen the day of the light without his kind patronage and timely guidance. Besides, he maintained a sense of humor to console me in the events of stress and strain, and inspired me with confidence and trust. In fact, I cherished doing this work under his able expertise, knowledge, thought and fatherly and friendly dispensation. Indeed, I have no words to thank him for all this. I am also deeply indebted to Prof. Aijaz A. Banday, the present Director, Centre of Central Asian Studies (CCAS), University of Kashmir, Srinagar, for his patronage and invaluable suggestions. I am equally beholden to Prof. G.M.Mir, Director, Area Study Programme, CCAS, for his love, affection and advice. Former Director, CCAS, Prof. G.R.

I also owe thanks to entire Library staff, especially Mr. Mukhtar Ahmad of CCAS, Allma Iqbal Library, J&K State Archives Department Jammu and National Archives Delhi for facilitating the study and collection of relevant research material on the subject. I owe my sincere thanks to all my respondents, young and old, officials and non-officials, civil and police personnel, for their kind cooperation and the necessary inputs they provided to me during my field work in Poonch.

Payai, Army Major Poonch, Mr. Abdul Hamid, District Manager Industries Poonch and Trade Facilitation officer Poonch, Mr. K. K. Kapoor, Retd.

Sincere thanks are also due to my colleagues and fellow scholars, relatives, friends and other well wishers who spared their precious time in discussing issues related to my research work. Last but not the least, I am highly thankful to my Late Mamaji Gh. Mohammad Sofi, who introduced me in the world of academics. Finally, this acknowledgment would be incomplete if I fail to express my indebtedness to my beloved parents, whose moral boosting, unending affection and indispensable support proved very useful to me in the long run, and this study is the outcome of their affectionate dispensation. They showed extraordinary patience and waited long to see the present work complete. Above all, God has been kind enough to me in guiding me to the right path and keeping me in good health during my studies.

The route spanning over nearly 4,000 miles (65,000) Kilometers, refers to a network of interlinked trade routes across the Afro-Eurasian space, connecting East, South, and West Asia with the Mediterranean and European world and parts of North and East Africa.1 It originated from China, traversed the Kun Lun and Tien Shan mountains towards south of the Takalamakan desert, and moved through the Kashgar city onto Samarkand, Persia, Mediterranean and Roman world.2 Trade on the Silk Route was a significant factor in the development of the great civilizations of China, India, Egypt, Persia, Arabia and Rome.3 Quiet precisely, it had large number of offshoots which were supplemented by the sea routes extending from the Red Sea to East Africa, India, China, and Southeast Asia.4 The trading commodities mostly consisted of the Chinese silk, spices, tea, and porcelain, Indian ivory, textiles, precious stones and pepper, Roman gold, silver, fine glassware, wine, carpets, and jewels etc. The horses, slaves and hoards of specialized farm and cottage products supplemented the commodity structure on the Silk Route. However, 1 Killion Ulric, A Modern Chinese Journey to the West: Economic Globalization and Dualism, New York: Nova Science Publishers, 2006, p.65 2 Susan Whitfield, The Silk Road: Trade Travel War and Faith, Chicago: Serindia Publications, 2004, p. 162 3 Niklas Swanstrom, “China and Greater Central Asia: New Frontiers,” Central Asia-Caucasus Institute & Silk Road Studies Program, Silk Road Paper December 2011, p. 16. 4 A Modern Chinese Journey to the West: Economic Globalization and Dualism, p.71 Chapter I Introduction the said route was not alone meant for commodity exchange but also for the spread of knowledge, ideas and cultures.5 Its history goes back to the rule of Han Lyu Tche also known as Wu-di in China (141-87 B.C). To fight the northern tribesmen (Xiongnu) Wu-di sent his general Zhang Qian6 to Central Asian tribal chief, Yuezhi, for purchase of famous Iranian war horses. However, Zhang Qian and his men were captured and held by the enemy Xiongnu tribesmen for ten years. Anyhow, he escaped from there and reached back to the friendly Yuezhi tribe in 128 B.C. Subsequently, however, he was captured The Silk Road and its offshoots Source: www.silkroadproject.org/tabid/177defaul.aspex. by another rival group, and on escape, he returned to China in 125 BC. with the unforgettable experiences in mind about different overland routes connecting China with Central Asia. Based on his information, China opened up trade with Rome across 5 Francis Wood, The Silk Road: Two Thousand Years in the Heart of Asia, Berkeley: University of California Press, 2002, pp. 13–23. 6 Luce Boulnois, Silk Road: Monks, Warriors & Merchants, Hong Kong: Odyssey Books, 2005, p.66. Chapter I Introduction different routes across the Eastern and Western Turkistan, India, Afghanistan, Persia, Middle Eastern, Aral, Caspian and the Black Sea.7 In all, however, Kashgar was the junction of routes and sub-routes of Eurasian space, and contributed to the onward transportation of specialized goods to the world markets since 3rd-2nd century B.C: Badakshan for lapis-lazuli (precious stone), Khotan for jade, India for ivory, Khwarizm for turquoise and China for paper, silk and gunpowder, to name a few only. The transcontinental trade was also instrumental in the acculturation and dissemination of cultures, religions, arts, crafts, ideas etc. In a way, such a network of routes and sub-routes developed over a long span of time, served as veins of human civilizations and cultures. Poonch-Rawalakot Route: Incidentally, Kashmir was a contributory to the Grand Silk Route as its different offshoots criss-crossed Kashmir at several entry and exit points. These traversed the Pamir’s, Hindukush, and the Greater and Middle Himalayas, and facilitated exchange of men, material, ideas, thought and technologies from time to time.8 Besides, Srinagar-Muzaffarabad, Ladakh and Gilgit routes,9 Kashmir was connected with Central Asia through the Poonch-Rawalakot sub-link road.

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.
