&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;All India Kashmir Committee&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was set up by Muslim leaders of [[Presidencies and provinces of British India|British India]], mainly [[Punjab Province (British India)|British Punjab]], to fight for the rights of Muslims in the [[princely state]] of [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. [[Muhammad Iqbal]] and a number of other leaders were invited by [[Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad|Hadhrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad]] to form the committee.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Kumar|first=Radha|title=Paradise at War: A Political History of Kashmir|publisher=Aleph|year=2018|isbn=9789388292122|location=New Delhi|pages=25–26}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;

From the very beginning of his rule, in 1840s Maharajah [[Gulab Singh]] imposed a body of the harshest regulations upon the people of [[Kashmir]] and reduced them in effect to a state of humiliating bondage. Even grass, growing free, on which the people were wont to pasture their cattle was subjected to a heavy tax. Within a year of the [[Treaty of 1848]], [[John Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence|Lord Lawrence]], the then [[Viceroy]] addressed a severe remonstrance but without any effect. Kashmiri Muslim identity in twentieth century was most significantly influenced by the Ahmadiyya ideology. Ahmadis belonging to Lahore faction of the movement were very active in educational and political awakening of Kashmiri Muslims throughout 1920, 1930s and 1940s. Abdulla Vakil and Nooruddin Qari Kashmiri were instrumental in propagating Islamic literature among the Muslim population of the state which included religious folk poetry and more complex religious discourses.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN1850657009&amp;amp;id=H7Ptp4Iod8EC&amp;amp;pg=RA1-PA161&amp;amp;lpg=RA1-PA161&amp;amp;dq=Ahmadiyya&amp;amp;sig=xOYDBLQOj5THutaBO8ARAW2ps0w &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Languages of belonging: Islam, regional identity, and the making of Kashmir&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by Chitralekha Zutshi], pages. 160-164&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This revival of Muslim identity was of great concern to the ruling elite in Kashmir. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 13 July 1931, the situation became so critical the then Maharajah resorted to brutal force and seventy two{{Clarify|reason=This needs to be referenced|date=December 2020}} Kashmiris were killed and hundreds wounded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mirza Basheer-ud Din Mahmood Ahmad]], the Head of [[Ahmadiyya]] Muslim community, was very  aware of the situation as he visited the state in 1929 and observed the plight of the people living there. He invited on July 25, 1931 a dozens or so leading Muslims and he stressed upon them that some thing should be done to tell the helpless [[Kashmiris]] that there are people in India who are mindful of their lot. The committee was met with severe criticism by [[Indian National Congress]] and nationalist Hindu press. The committee was termed as an organized rebellion against the Maharaja of Kashmir and a conspiracy on the part of pan-Islamists. A very extensive media campaign was run by a prominent Hindu nationalist newspaper, Milaap against the organizers of the committee. A telegram was sent to Viceroy [[Freeman Freeman-Thomas, 1st Marquess of Willingdon|Willingdon]] informing him of the &amp;quot;agitation&amp;quot; being organized by the Muslim leaders of India. (Newspaper &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Milaap&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, Aug-Oct, 1931) Members of Kashmir Committee were involved in fund raising activities to help the victims of violence in Kashmir. An organized campaign of political awareness was run by the Committee which resulted in creation of a Muslim political revival in the state. Party offices were established in various towns and cities in Kashmir and political workers were activated to raise the awareness among the Muslim populations in Kashmir. (Inquilaab, 11, Mar 1934) After a year of its creation, [[Basheerud Deen Ahmad]], urged the Committee to elect a new President but Dr Iqbal with the support of the Kashmir Committee urged him to carry on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this period, an orthodox Islamic religious party under the name of [[Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam|Ahrars]] (Free) came into being, freely funded by [[Indian Congress party]]. They started agitation against [[Mirza Basheerud Deen Mahmood]], as he was the leader of a sect of Islam at odds with the Ahrar ideology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He resigned from Presidency of the Kashmir Committee as a number of members in the Committee had their own doubts after the agitations. Dr. Iqbal was elected the president after him, but 20 June 1932, he also resigned from the Presidency of the All India Kashmir Committee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to internal dissent among different leaders of the committee and external influence of Ahrar, the All-India Kashmir committee ceased to exist within a few years of its conception.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Legacy ==&lt;br /&gt;
Although the committee&amp;#039;s identity was usurped by rising political enmity of [[Majlis-e-Ahrar-ul-Islam|Ahrar]] and Congress, Kashmir Committee can be called the precursor of the freedom movement in the state. [[Sheikh Abdullah]] emerged as a popular young leader for Kashmiri Muslims as a result of direct patronage from the committee members. The network of political workers which was developed by the initiatives of the committee evolved into a useful propaganda machine which would play a fundamental role in Kashmir movement in the coming decades. Above all else, the committee was responsible for raising the profile of the humanitarian situation in the region which resulted in improvement in the social status of Kashmiri Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;
