Anantnag city of India
Short brief history of Anantnag city of Kshmir, India
Before the advent of Muslim rule in 1320 CE, Kashmir was divided into
three divisions, viz., Maraz in the south, Yamraj in the centre and
Kamraj in the north of the Valley. Old chronicles reveal that the
division was the culmination of the rift Marhan and Kaman, the two
brothers, over the crown of their father. The part of the valley which
lies between Pir Panjal and Srinagar,
and called the Anantnag, was given to Marhan and named after him as
Maraj. While Srinagar is no longer known as Yamraj, the area to its
north and south are still called Kamraz and Maraz respectively. Lawrence
in his book "The Valley of Kashmir" states that these divisions were
later on divided into thirty four sub-divisions which after 1871 were
again reduced to five Zilas or districts. According to old map of
British India (1836), Anantnag was called Islamabad by some.
