Inde: 'Cachemire', affiche publicitaire des chemins de fer de l'État de l'Inde, Bombay, années 1930. Affiche de Gerald Tait (1891 - 1954). Le Cachemire est la région du nord-ouest du sous-continent indien. Jusqu'au milieu du XIXe siècle, le terme Cachemire ne désigne géographiquement que la vallée entre la Grande Himalaya et la chaîne de montagnes PIR Panjal. Aujourd'hui, il indique une zone plus vaste qui comprend l'État du Jammu-et-Cachemire administré par l'Inde, les territoires autonomes administrés par le Pakistan de l'Azad Cachemire et du Gilgit-Baltistan, et les régions contestées administrées par la Chine d'Aksai Chin et de la Transakoram Tract.

Kashmir (Kashmiri: کٔشِیر / कॅशीर; Hindi: कश्मीर; Urdu: کشمیر‎; Uyghur: كەشمىر‎; Shina: کشمیر) is the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent. Until the mid-19th century, the term Kashmir geographically denoted only the valley between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal mountain range. Today, it denotes a larger area that includes the Indian-administered state of Jammu and Kashmir (which consists of Jammu, the Kashmir Valley, and Ladakh), the Pakistan-administered autonomous territories of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit–Baltistan, and the Chinese-administered disputed regions of Aksai Chin and the Trans-Karakoram Tract. In the first half of the 1st millennium, the Kashmir region became an important centre of Hinduism and later of Buddhism; later still, in the ninth century, Kashmir Shaivism arose. In 1349, Shah Mir became the first Muslim ruler of Kashmir, inaugurating the Salatin-i-Kashmir or Swati dynasty. For the next five centuries, Muslim monarchs ruled Kashmir, including the Mughals, who ruled from 1526 until 1751, and the Afghan Durrani Empire, which ruled from 1747 until 1820. That year, the Sikhs, under Ranjit Singh, annexed Kashmir. In 1846, after the Sikh defeat in the First Anglo-Sikh War, and upon the purchase of the region from the British under the Treaty of Amritsar, the Raja of Jammu, Gulab Singh, became the new ruler of Kashmir. The rule of his descendants, under the paramountcy (or tutelage) of the British Crown, lasted until 1947, when the former princely state became a disputed territory, now administered by three countries: India, Pakistan, and the People's Republic of China.
