In this episode, we explore Kashmir’s transformation after the arrival of Mir Syed Ali Hamadani and the spread of Islam. Discover how Sufi masters rose to power, shaping both spiritual and political landscapes as rulers sought legitimacy from religious scholars.We also dive into the turbulent 16th century, marked by the fall of Budshah’s rule, foreign interventions, civil wars, and the fierce power struggle among the Chak rulers—a real-life game of thrones in Kashmir’s history.🎙️ Guest: Dr. Zubair Khalid PhD, Centre for Historical Studies, JNU Expert on the Kashmiri Sultanate, Islam, Sufism, and the region’s material and intellectual history.
