1752 to 1819 AD (The Afghan Rulers)

In 1752, Kashmir was passed in to the hands of Ahmad Shah Abdali. In 1809, Muhammed Azim Khan threw off the Afghan yoke and declared his independence.  During 1819, when Jabbar Khan was the governor of Kashmir, a large Sikh army invaded Kashmir and defeated Jabbar Khan.  Kashmir then became a part of the Sikh kingdom for several years.
