  • Earliest Settlers of Kashmir
    Earliest Settlers of Kashmir R. N. KAW KASHMIR is a saucer-shaped vale with a length of 134 km. a breadth of 38 km. at its broadest point and a mean height of 1800 m. above sea level. It has a temperate climate and during winters the valley is covered with snow. Besides its magnificent woods, enchanting lakes, rivers and meadows and glorious snow clad mountains, it has a remarkable wealth of archaeological sites and monuments ranging from prehistoric times to the Moghul period. The tradition says that Kashmir was once a lake known as Sati-Saras, the Lake of Sati. The lacustrine deposits locally known as karewas, which are dotted all over the valley, substantiate it. Neolithic man settled on these karewas. De Terra and Paterson carried out the first exploration in Kashmir during the year 1935. They could not find any remains of the Paleolithic man but later on in 1969-70 Prof. Sankalia and a team of the Archaeological Survey of India discovered the first Paleolithic tool from Kashmir. In fact Prof. Sankalia claims that these are the earliest Paleolithic remains in the whole of Asia. De Terra and Paterson first made the discovery of Burzahom during their expedition in 1935. They noticed menhirs at the site. A limited excavation near the menhirs was conducted by them which yielded some black polished ware with incised designs besides some bone and stone tools, the excavated remains were taken to be belonging to ‘either a late or an early phase of the Indus Culture.

  • Art and Culture in Ancient Kashmir
    The Wonder That Was Kashmir Subhash Kak Kashmir’s geographical location partly explains is cultural history. It may be that its natural beauty and temperate climate are the reasons that Kashmiris have a strong tradition in the arts, literature, painting, drama, and dance. Its relative isolation, the security provided by the ring of mountains around it, and its distance from the heartland of Indian culture in the plains of North India, might explain the originality of Kashmiri thought. Its climate and the long winters may explain the Kashmiri fascination for philosophical speculation. Kashmir is at the centre of the Puranic geography. In the Puranic conception, the earth's continents are arranged in the form of a lotus flower. Mt. Meru stands at the center of the world, the pericarp or seed-vessel of the flower, as it were, surrounded by circular ranges of mountains. Around Mt. Meru, like the petals of the lotus, are arranged four island- continents (dvipas), aligned to the four points of the compass: Uttarakuru to the north, Ketumala to the west, Bhadrashva to the east, and Bharata or Jambudvipa to the south. The meeting point of the continents is the Meru mountain, which is the high Himalayan region around Kashmir, Uttarakuru represents Central Asia including Tocharia, Ketumala is Iran and lands beyond, Bhadrashva is China and the Far East. Kashmir’s centrality in this scheme was a recognition that it was a meeting ground for trade and ideas for the four main parts of the Old World. In fact it became more than a meeting ground, it was the land where an attempt was made to reconcile opposites by deeper analysis and bold conception.
