From today onwards, I am going to tweet about Kalhana's Rajatarangini. In case you are interested, please follow and spread the word. Rajatarangini is a Chronicle of the Kings of #Kashmir. I will keep adding the tweets in this thread and wish to accomplish this task on twitter.
KRT1: I am using a translation given by M A Stein, whose first visit to #Kashmir was in the summer of 1888. As per him, Rajatarangini is the oldest and fullest record of #Kashmir history.
KRT2: Before we start learning the history, it is important to understand the author of this great Chronicle, Kalhana. Kalhana, like many other authors, lives solely in his work. There is no record of to tell us life of scholer-poet to whom Kashmir owes the knowledge of history.
