ABSTRACT: Kashmir is renowned for its artistic skills and marvellous crafts since time immemorial. Bernier, Moorcroft, Vinge and other travellers who visited the place, have highly praised the artistic tastes of the people of Kashmir. Mirza Haider Dughlat, in his Tarikh-i-Rashidi recorded, in Kashmir one meets with all those arts and crafts which are in most cities uncommon. Francis Bernier, who visited Kashmir in 1665 during the early years of Aurangzeb's reign, stated that it is due to the certain properties in the water of that country (Kashmir). Though the Kashmiris practiced myriad arts and crafts since ancient times, it was during the sultanate period that their artistic skill found their proper vent. The sultan Zain-ul Abadin revived and introduced new arts and crafts from Central Asia. The Mughals immensely contributed to the development of no agrarian sector of Kashmir especially, the shawl industry. Though the Afghans and Sikhs are known for their oppression but they still promoted the shawl industry.
