Historiographical synthesis & structured realm registry
Jammu and Kashmir, also known as Kashmir and Jammu, was a princely state in a subsidiary alliance with the British East India Company from 1846 to 1858, and under the paramountcy of the British Crown from 1858 until British withdrawal and the partition of British India in 1947. Following the subsequent First Kashmir War between India and Pakistan, it became a disputed territory, now administered by three countries: China, India, and Pakistan. After the First Anglo-Sikh War, Kashmir Valley was annexed by British East India Company from the Sikhs as war indemnity, on 9 March 1846. Later, Jammu and Kashmir was formed, when Kashmir was sold to the Raja of Jammu, Gulab Singh, for 75 lakh rupees, on 16 March 1846.
