Birbal Dhar

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Birbal Dhar was a leader in the

Muslim rule in Kashmir.[1]

Due to his role in the ending of the Afghan rule, Birbal Dhar was awarded with the role of Taluqdar, rough translation -

Maharaja Ranjit Singh
.

He was offered a seat on the council of the Maharaja, but refused in order to be able to be close to his people in Kashmir.

Ever since the time of

Mughals and Afghans
, the Taluqdar was the highest administrative service for a state.

He was an avid follower of a previous Taluqdar of Kashmir, Ali Mardan Khan, and so was a tradition for him and his descendants to keep up the Chashme Shahi Garden where apparently the Kurdish General had found God.
