Notes on Dogra rule

 * Regarding Kashmiri Hindus:










 * Pandits were continued by the Dogras





Taxation and revenue
The taxation system also did not change significantly in going from Sultanate to Mughals to Afghan to Sikh to Dogra rulers.
 * Regarding taxation



Even though Hangloo is not clear about how much it was under the Sikhs, other sources say that it was the same. I would agree two-thirds of the produce is exorbitant, but that is what the Kashmiris were apparently paying even to their own rulers. Akbar did reduce to half the produce, and Hangloo also says that Akbar made sure that no other exactions wee imposed by the officials, but we don't know how long that lasted. There are various sources that say that Gulab Singh did not change a thing.
