PURE NONSENSE!!

Urdu wasn't imposed by Dogra rulers but by British State council.

Maharaja Pratap Singh was temporarily deposed from rulership in 1889.

And after that State council under British resident replaced the court language from Persian to Urdu in JK! Image
Image It is to be noticed that during Dogra rule of Maharaja Ranbir Singh, there were three court languages:
1. Persian (continuation from Muslim & Sikh rule)
2. Dogri in Takri script
3. Hindi in Devanagari script
