Let us tell you that Hari Singh was the son of Amar Singh and Bhotiyali Chib. After the death of his uncle in 1923, he became the new Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir. After India’s independence in 1947, he wanted Jammu and Kashmir to remain as an independent state. He had to accede to the Dominion of India in order to gain the support of Indian troops against attacks by tribal armed people and Pakistani forces in his kingdom. Hari Singh remained the nominal Maharaja of the state until 1952, when the Government of India abolished the monarchy.
