Abstract
This article revisits the historiographical context of Kashmir from its sale by British in 1846 to accession to India in 1947. Taking a holistic approach it explores the views of international, Indian, Pakistani and Kashmiri scholarships on crucial aspects of the history of Kashmir in this era. The endeavour would be to expound the paradigm shift in the historiographical writings and explore the major debates and dominant trends that arose in the history of Kashmir during the epoch 1846–1947.
