Socio-Economic History of Kashmir
The change-over in 1846 from Sikh to Dogra rule under the suzerainty of the British, resulted in a socio-economic upheaval, particularly after 1889 when the British, after deposing the Maharaja, assumed the administration of the State through the Resident. They were responsible for the drastic overhaul of the administrative machine, opening of the valley with a cart road linking Srinagar to Rawalpindi, extension of postal and telegraph services, land revenue settlement, grant of tenancy rights to the cultivators, spread of modern education, provision of medical and sanitary services and so on, all in one go.
