Birbal
Dhar -- Liberation of Kashmir
Kashmiri
Hindus did not lose courage despite being victim of atrocities
during 500 year barbaric rule of the foreigners. When the Hindu
state was established in Punjab, Kashmiri Pandits, through their
adroitness and alertness, established contact with Maharaja
Ranjit Singh and established Hindu Government in the state. The
hero of this work was Birbal Dhar.
