Before Partition, in which year did the Kashmiris start a struggle against Dogra rule?

Correct answer: 1931. In 1931, protests in Srinagar began a public movement against Dogra rule.

Background: On 13 July 1931, 22 Kashmiri protesters were killed outside Srinagar Central Jail during the rule of Maharaja Hari Singh, which started the organized freedom struggle.

• 1930: 1930 is not the year the movement began.
• 1932: 1932 is after the movement began.
• 1934: 1934 is after the movement began.

Did you know? 13 July is observed as Kashmir Martyrs’ Day.

Memory trick: 1931 → 13 July → martyrs of Kashmir.
