Abstract

This research paper, titled "Harvesting History: Exploring Agrarian Relations in Jammu and Kashmir Through the Lens of Socioeconomic Transformations, 19th-20th Century," delves into the dynamic interplay between agrarian structures and socioeconomic changes in the region. Spanning from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, the study employs a multidimensional approach, drawing on archival records, oral histories, and existing scholarship to unravel the complexities of land-use patterns, ownership dynamics, and the impact on local communities. Through case studies and data analysis, the research sheds light on the intricate historical processes that shaped Jammu and Kashmir's agrarian landscape, offering valuable insights for scholars, policymakers, and those interested in the region's developmental trajectory.
