A widespread agitation throughout the [[princely state]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] in [[British Raj]] occurred in 1931 against the Maharaja's government. The Maharaja was forced to appoint the [[Glancey Commission|Glancy Commission]] to investigate the people's concerns. Various political reforms were adopted including the introduction of the [[Jammu and Kashmir Praja Sabha]] (legislative assembly). The movement also saw the rise of [[Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah]] as the leader of Kashmiris.

== Events ==
On 13 July 1931, thousands of Kashmiris flocked to the central jail in [[Srinagar]] to see the trial of Abdul Qadeer. As the time for obligatory ''[[Friday prayer|jumma]]'' prayer approached, a Kashmiri stood up to deliver the [[adhan]]. The [[Dogra]] governor, Ray Zada Tartilok Chand, ordered his soldiers to open fire on them, in total 22 Kashmiris died in the firing.<ref name=":0"/>
The people carried the dead through the streets of Srinagar, chanting slogans opposing Dogra brutality. The incident shook the state, and a week-long period of mourning was observed. Traffic between Srinagar, [[Rawalpindi]] and [[Jammu]] was halted from 13 to 26 July.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://nation.com.pk/national/14-Jul-2015/kashmir-martyrs-day-observed|title=Kashmir Martyrs Day observed|date=14 July 2015|work=[[The Nation (Pakistan)|The Nation]]|access-date=13 April 2020}}</ref> The protests intensified; anti-Hindu riots began, leading to the death of three Hindus, the wounding of many more and the looting of Hindu-owned shops.<ref>{{cite book|title=Clash of Identities Ethnic Conflict of Kashmir Dispute|publisher=University of California|author=Devaraju Nagarjun|year=2015|page=6}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Jammu and Kashmir: Politics of Identity and Separatism|publisher=Routledge|author=Rekha Chowdhary|year=2004|page=30}}</ref> The Hindus retaliated, leading to more clashes between the two groups.<ref>{{cite book|title=Ghosts of Empire: Britain's Legacies in the Modern World|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing|author= Kwasi Kwarteng|year=2011|page=260}}</ref> The violence spread to Kashmir province and Jammu; three British [[Company (military unit)|companies]], numbering about 500 soldiers, were sent to support Maharaja [[Hari Singh]] and restore law and order.

== Meeting with the maharaja ==

== Temporary truce ==
The Muslim leaders were dissatisfied, but they met with the prime minister on 26 August and signed an agreement to end the agitation.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fLCCbohBKzcC&q=1931+kashmir+22|title=Political Awakening in Kashmir|last=Kaur|first=Ravinderjit|publisher=APH Publishing|year=1996|isbn=9788170247098|pages=154}}</ref>

== Aftermath ==
{{anchor|Kashmir Day}}
{{See also|Kashmir Martyrs' Day}}
The agitation temporarily subsided, primarily because of the Kashmir [[Durbar (court)|Darbar's]] conciliatory attitude toward its subjects (permitting Ahrar-i-Islam, [[Mazhar Ali Azhar]] and two companions to visit Kashmir privately). With the intervention of Muslim sympathisers outside Kashmir, 14 August was observed as Kashmir Day in Kashmir and several parts of India. Demonstrations and meetings were held in sympathy with Kashmiri Muslims. The meetings adopted resolutions calling for freedom of religion, the restoration of mosques and Muslim shrines, compensation for dependents of those killed or injured, and an investigation of the conduct of civil and military officers during the agitation.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fLCCbohBKzcC&q=1931+kashmir+22&pg=PA162|title=Political Awakening in Kashmir|last=Kaur|first=Ravinderjit|publisher=APH Publishing|year=1996|isbn=9788170247098|pages=153}}</ref>
