On #WorldHeritageDay I showcase the soul of #Dogra people & the epicentre of their modern history. The images will also reveal how if you want to squash a voice, you erase their history & self-esteem. This site has been a victim of loot, pillage & arson. #MubarakMandi #Jammu
The #MubarakMandi Palace complex holds 300 yrs of Dogra history within itself. With over 20 palaces built over 200 years starting at 1710 it is unlike any other. From here the Dogra rulers reigned over their sprawling kingdom.
For over 200 years, they ruled over an area that stretched from the Pir Panjal mountain range in the north, the plains of Punjab to the South to Ladakh & Tibet in the east.

Picking up some lines from the book ‘Memory Lane to Jammu’ which describe #Jammu city - “Spread out like Rome, on seven low hillocks of the great Shivalik Range it extended from north to south in an undulating natural spread.” #AmazingJammu
“During the summer nights, a cool breeze rose from the East around 10pm which we called dhidoo” - Rehmat Ullah Rad.

“Summer mornings & evenings were always very beautiful in Jammu. People would gather in small grps at the canal, dip the mangoes they had brought in its ice cold waters. Glow worms would appear in droves & twinkle in the dark like stars”. #AmazingJammu

We hear of KP exodus from Kashmir.Not so much of the exodus from #JammuHills for similar reasons - Jihadi Terrorism which grips #JammuAndKashmir
Today I tell you abt a KP family who left the Valley during the tribal raids in 1947 & settled in #Jammu #Bhaderwah. The Koul family.
The matriarch Smt Sukhmali Koul, made #Bhaderwah #Jammu her home & went onto become the first Lady teacher in the area, also setting up a school for girls. Giving back to her community, in the best way she could.
A few generations down, the fly remains committed to their region & nation. Ruchir Kumar Koul marries a beautiful Bhaderwahi girl in 1989. 5 yrs into the marriage, Rucher was gunned down by terrorists. He left behind two small children, 3 & 5 yrs old & a 26 yr old wife.
