Kashmir passed from the control of the Durrani Empire of Afghanistan and centuries of Muslim rule under the Mughals, Persians, and Afghans to the conquering Sikh armies by the mid-19th century. During the latter part of the 19th century, Kashmir was ruled by the Dogras, who are a predominantly Hindu people in the area around Jammu and who were installed as rulers by the Sikhs (see Ranjit Singh). In 1819, 30,000 soldiers of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Lahore attacked and annexed Kashmir as a part of Ranjit Singh's empire. In 1846, the British rulers sold Kashmir to Maharaja Gulab Singh by the Treaty of Amritsar. The Maharaja declared himself as the King of Jammu and Kashmir. Following the partition of India and Pakistan, Pakistani tribal Pashtuns attacked and annexed some portions of Kashmir.To save kashmir its king asked the help of India and an instrument of accession was signed between the Maharaja and the Indian Union. But unfortunately the accession of Kashmir became a flash point between Pakistan and India and the United Nations had to intervene. A UN resolution was adopted wherein it was decided that the people of Kashmir would be given a chance to decide for their political future by way of a plebescite. India and Pakistan are presently in conflict resolution mode as the pro freedom insurgency in Kashmir has been going for the last two decades. At least a hundred thousand people have been killed in Kashmir. Kashmir is a valley whose beauty has been proclaimed by many and stretches out at about 7,200 square kilometers (2,800 square miles) at an elevation of 1,675 meters (5,500 feet). A Mughal ruler Jehangir, who built the famed Shalimar Gardens in Kashmir, made the statement, " If heaven be on this earth, it must be here." Kashmir was once called the Switzerland of the east. It has a very ancient history and it was for a long time one of the centers of Hindu philosophical, literary and religious culture, a tradition still maintained by the native Hindu population. Kashmiri literature, sculpture, music, dance, painting, and architecture have had a profound influence in Asia.

The Mughal fort at Allahabad, reputed to be one of Akbar's favorite, and intended to be one of the largest was begun in 1583, but taken over by the British in 1801 and converted into colonial barracks. Today,  Allahabad's  Mughal heritage survives only at the Khusrau Bagh. \n\nIn 1629, Shah Jahan (r. 1628-58) decided that what the far-flung empire needed was an imperial city. An imperial city communicates the emperor's power to visitors and his subjects alike. Shah Jahan chose the area where other rulers of India had also founded cities and forts: Delhi. His city, named Shahjahanabad, after the emperor himself, was suitably impressive. To the right is a map of the city. Shahjahanabad is now called the Old City of Delhi, or Old Delhi\n\nCity built by Mughals: Agra, Fatherpursikri

Although the whole world knows Washington, DC as the capital of the United States, the city did not exist when we became a nation in 1789. The seat of the new government was located temporarily in New York City. A year later it was moved to Philadelphia. When it came to selecting the place for a permanent capital, both these cities were among those who vied to be chosen. Some of the competing cities offered land and money as incentives. A fierce rivalry developed between the northern and southern states over the location, a conflict that was finally resolved by a political compromise. In exchange for agreeing to locate the capital in the southern region, the northern states were relieved of the heavy debts they had incurred during the Revolution.\n\nIn 1790 Congress passed the Residence Act giving President George Washington the power to select a site for a new federal district, as the then-nameless capital was called. The Act also said that Congress would continue to meet in Philadelphia until 1800, when the capital city was supposed to be ready for the government to move in.\n\nWashington's own estate, Mount Vernon, was located on the Potomac River below the bustling river towns of Alexandria, Virginia and Georgetown, Maryland. He was convinced that the land along the Potomac had enormous commercial potential as a shipping center if it were linked by canal to the Western frontier. For the site of the new capital Washington picked an area at the junction of the Potomac and Anacostia rivers about 14 miles upstream from Mount Vernon.\n\nA survey of the land, a "ten-mile square" which had been ceded by Maryland, was undertaken by Andrew Ellicott with the help of Benjamin Banneker, a free black from Maryland who was a self- taught mathematician and astronomer. Forty boundary stones, laid at one-mile intervals, established the boundaries based on Banneker's celestial calculations. Most of the land consisted of floodplain, dense forest, and farmland. In order to speed development of the city, Washington convinced a number of local landholders to donate tracts of land for the new capital.\n\n"It is sometimes called the City of Magnificent Distances, but it might with greater propriety be termed the City of Magnificent Intentions."      — Charles Dickens, 1842
