Dogra dynasty

The Dogra dynasty was a ruling family that governed the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir from the mid-19th century until 1947. Founded by Gulab Singh, they expanded their territory through military strength and diplomacy, establishing a monarchic rule over the region. The dynasty played a significant role in shaping the political and cultural landscape of northern India, maintaining autonomy under British suzerainty. Their rule ended when India gained independence, leading to the integration of Jammu and Kashmir into India. The Dogra legacy is remembered for establishing stability and development in the region during their reign.
