Before the 19th century, Kashmir was referred to only the valley between the Himalayas and the Pir Panjal range. However, since then, Kashmir refers to Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir (Kashmir valley, Ladakh and Jammu), the Pakistani administered provinces of the Northern Areas along with the Azad Kashmir and also the Chinese administered region of Aksai Chin. A number of Hindu myths and legends are associated with the origin of Kashmir and Srinagar. Muslim rulers and Mughal Emperors ruled in this place, before the Independence. Until when, the Muslims and the Hindus of the place lived in total harmony. All the disputes and violence that is still prevalent in some parts of Kashmir started under the British Raj, under the pretext of asking for a different country for Muslims.
