Jammu State People's Movement (JSPM)

No bad vibes; nothing against anyone...just a fight to secure the rights of residents of the Jammu Province irrespective of castes, creeds and religion.

[History Of Rajputana @KshatriyaItihas]

(Long post, but it settles the matter)

One needs to be absoloute thankless or ignorant to call Maharaja Gulab Singh a traitor. A man who kept on serving Lahore Durbar even after losing 2 brothers and a nephew.

Otoh, Rani Jindan Did Not Go to War to Liberate Punjab from British, she did it to Eliminate Khalsa and consolidate her own Power. Gulab Singh, who saw this clearly and refused to participate in what he recognized as a political manipulation, was the more honest actor in this entire episode. Let's look at the sequence of events:

1. The logic of Jindan Kaur and Lal Singh was purely cynical: if the Khalsa was defeated, the British would restore the court to dominance with Dalip Singh under their protection. If the army somehow won, the kingdom could be expanded. Eitherway, Jindan Kaur and Lal Singh expected to benefit, what they most wanted to eliminate was the army panchayat system that had made the Khalsa ungovernable and had already killed Hira Singh and destabilized every ruler since Ranjit Singh's death. Rani Jindan fought this battle to consolidate her position in the khalsa darbar, which perpetually went against the treaty signed by Maharaja Ranjit Singh with British to never cross Sutlej.

2. At core, this war was a calculated gamble by a regent and her paramour to use the British army as a mechanism to destroy the power of their own army. The Khalsa soldiers who died at those battles were, in a very real sense, sacrificed by the very court leadership this argument asks us to defend.

Why will Gulab singh fight a battle that literally made no sense?

3. Also, the clearest proof that Gulab Singh was not seen as a traitor by the Sikh establishment is that after Sobraon, Lahore Durbar, Rani Jindan and the court unanimously turned to Maharaja Gulab Singh to negotiate the peace terms with the British.

To his credit, Maharaja Gulab Singh even refused to negotiate any personal deal with the British as he was acting as an envoy for Dalip Singh. Gulab Singh successfully negotiated the peace on behalf of the Sikh Empire, secured British withdrawal from Lahore, and protected young Maharaja Duleep Singh's throne. But instead of rewarding him, Lahore Darbar adopted a hostile attitude towards Raja Gulab Singh. He was dismissed from the post of Wazir and Lal Singh was again made the Wazir, and seeing the success of Raja Gulab Singh in conducting negotiations, one more unsuccessful attempt to murder him was made.

4. In reality, Kashmir territories did not belong to the Khalsa army in any personal sense. Critically, it was Wazir Lal Singh not Gulab Singh who handed this land to the British. Lal Singh, the PM of Lahore, was among those who disliked Gulab Singh immensely and in order to kill various birds with one stone, suggested to the British that in lieu of the war indemnity, all the hill territories of the Sikh kingdom including Jammu and Kashmir be given to them. Lal Singh treacherously surrendered the Dogra homelands including the jagirs of the entire Dogra family to the British specifically to harm Gulab Singh. Gulab Singh then used his own resources to buy back this ancestral territory. The real act of treachery was by Lal Singh, not Gulab Singh.

5. Far from being labelled a traitor by the British, British accounts actually acknowledged Gulab Singh's consistent loyalty to the Lahore Darbar during the period when the Dogra family suffered multiple assassinations. Even Governor-General Hardinge, in defending the Treaty of Amritsar to critics, noted that Gulab Singh had personally suffered at the hands of Lahore's factions. Hardinge faced criticism for rewarding Gulab Singh. Hardinge defended the move by claiming Gulab had suffered at Lahore's hands.

6. Mr. Tewari's argument uses the 1822 coronation as "irony" implying ingratitude. In fact it is the opposite. Ranjit Singh elevated Gulab Singh precisely because the Dogras were the most militarily and administratively capable family serving the Sikh Empire. When the empire collapsed after Ranjit Singh's death, it was because his successors eliminated the Dogra pillars he had built not because those pillars turned against him.

7. The personal cost the Dogra family paid in service to the Lahore Darbar is staggering and almost entirely ignored in the "betrayal" narrative. Consider the timeline of Dogra deaths at the hands of Lahore's own court politics:
Dhyan Singh, who served as Wazir to Maharaja Ranjit Singh was the 2nd most powerful man in the Lahore Darbar, he was assassinated in September 1843 when the Sandhanwalia clan murdered both Maharaja Sher Singh and the Wazir on the same day.
Suchet Singh, another of the three Dogra brothers, was also killed.
Then Hira Singh, Dhyan Singh's son who became Wazir after his father was also assassinated in 1844, surrounded and cut down by Khalsa soldiers.
The three Dogra brothers who had built their entire careers in loyal service to Ranjit Singh lost two brothers and a nephew to the very establishment they served.
Even after these catastrophic family losses, Gulab Singh did not flee, raise rebellion, or join the British. He stayed. He returned to Lahore when summoned after Sobraon, accepted the role of peace negotiator on behalf of the same court that had killed his family, and only struck an independent arrangement after Rani Jindan herself dismissed him and made yet another attempt on his life. A man who truly wanted to betray the Lahore Darbar had every reason and opportunity to do so far earlier but did not. The accusation of betrayal must be measured against this extraordinary record of continued service despite personal devastation.

8. The Interesting part: Sikhs would have won, they lost because of their own incapable leadership not because of Dogras. At Ferozeshah, when the Khalsa had the exhausted British force at their mercy, Tej Singh misread a British withdrawal as a flanking manoeuvre and retreated, allowing the British to escape what could have been a catastrophic defeat. At Sobraon, Tej Singh secretly corresponding with Governor-General Hardinge destroyed the bridge over the Sutlej when he fled, trapping his own men between the British and the river where 10,000 Sikhs were killed. These were the men responsible for the defeats at Aliwal and Sobraon. Gulab Singh, sitting in Jammu with his troops intact, had nothing to do with these catastrophic command failures.

Sikh Empire collapsed because of factionalism, intrigue, assassinations, and incompetent leadership after Ranjit Singh's death. Blaming Gulab Singh for that collapse is historical scapegoating.

@ManishTewari - I hope you will read it. All of this information is common knowledge; I have merely placed it in perspective.

A lot, and wrong, is happening right under your nose. Your call, @amitshah

[Col AJ🇮🇳 @ajaykraina]

@WHO had a divisional office in Jammu with a sub office in Srinagar. The Surveillance Medical Officer (SMO) appointed by WHO had an important role to play because the data compiled by SMO would often contradict the one claimed by the UT health department; the latter being exaggerated and contrary to the ground realities.
Now, the divisional office at Jammu has been shut, some of its staff transferred to Delhi and SMO shifted to Srinagar where the sub office now stands upgraded to a divisional office!
#JammuBlindness continues, unless Jammu with 70% more area has suddenly become healthier and Kashmir is facing an epidemic!
Well done, @MoHFW_INDIA under ex @BJP4India

Unless and until #JammuPradesh becomes a reality, such stupid decisions will continue to happen while our elected MPs, @mpjugalkishore and @@DrJitendraSingh keep enjoying their perks.

[Johan Liebert @hissokaHxH]

Post the completion of the ongoing expansion of the civil enclave in Jammu, it's high time that it should be renamed.
My personal suggestion would be renaming it to 'Maharaja Hari Singh/Maharaja Gulab Singh' Airport.
Please help this reach the higher authorities!

[THE BONE DOCTOR OF J&K Dr Vikas Padha🇮🇳 @DrVikasPadha]

IIT and IIM at #Jammu are giving so much heartburn to these Kashmiri politicians including CM @OmarAbdullah proving once again that these Kashmiri politicians have always considered Jammu province as their colony that can NEVER have equal rights as Kashmir region.
High time for Government of India to declare 10 Districts of Jammu Province as Separate Jammu State.

🚨 NEW SONG RELEASE 🚨
🎵 जम्मू राज्य चाहिए | Jammu Rajya Chahiye 🇮🇳 First of 7 songs.
https://t.co/pQegmP6H7X

This is not just a song.
This is a demand.
This is a voice.
This is Jammu speaking.

“Jammu Rajya Chahiye” is a powerful political song that raises the long-ignored demand for separate statehood for Jammu and exposes the historical, political, and administrative discrimination faced by the region.

The song speaks about:
• Systematic neglect of Jammu
• Diversion of Jammu’s resources
• Seat politics and unfair fund allocation
• Bias in jobs and development
• Demographic manipulation through land policies
• The need for self-governance and dignity
• The sacrifices of border communities that remain unrecognised

This is Part 1 of a 7-part series, written, composed, and produced by Vijay S Sharma, amplifying the voice of Dogra, Gujjar, Pahari, and all people of Jammu who demand justice, identity, and self-rule
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

🎵 LYRICS 🎵

जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

तिरंगे को सलाम है, स्वराज चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।
तिरंगे को सलाम, अब स्वराज चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

गुज्जर, डोगरा, पहाड़ी—एक माँ के लाल हैं,
जम्बू नगर का जम्मू है, सारे लोग कमाल हैं।
ना औरों की परछाईं, अपना ताज चाहिए,
अपनी माटी पर, अपना ही राज चाहिए।
एक नए इतिहास का, आगाज़ चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

तिरंगे को सलाम, अब स्वराज चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

सालों तक दरबार ने, हमको बस भटकाया है,
जम्मू का सरमाया, कश्मीर पहुँचाया है।
सचिवालय के फेर ने, किया बड़ा लाचार,
रुक जाता है काम, थम जाती है रफ़्तार।
दिल्ली जैसी अपनी भी, सरकार चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

तिरंगे को सलाम, अब स्वराज चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

सीटों के खेल ने, हक़ जम्मू का मारा है,
फंड की बंदरबाँट है, जम्मू बेसहारा है।
नौकरी - विकास में, जम्मू से भेदभाव है,
जम्मू को कश्मीर से, मिला बस अभाव है।
जम्मू वालों को, अब तो इंसाफ चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

रोशनी एक्ट में, जमीन का व्यापार हुआ,
आबादी बदलने का खेल, बार-बार हुआ।
घर नहीं जलने देंगे, इस बार तो लड़ेंगे हम,
नहीं किया पहले जो, वो इस बार करेंगे हम।
बदल रही आबादी पर, फुल स्टॉप चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

सत्ता की चाबी उधर, हम बैठे हैं द्वार पर,
अपना ही नेता हो अब शासन की पतवार पर।
जम्मू के भविष्य का, यही बस एक विकल्प है,
जम्मू राज्य बनाएंगे, अपना ये दृढ़ संकल्प है।
भेदभाव ना रहे ऐसा समाज चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

खून दिया सरहद पे, बदले क्या आया है?
प्रथम प्रहरी सीमा के, तिरस्कार ही पाया है।
देश की ढाल है, पर जम्मू ही उपेक्षित है,
अपने घर को हमने तो, अब करना सुरक्षित है।
जम्मू की वीर भूमि को, स्वराज चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

तिरंगे को सलाम, अब स्वराज चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।
तिरंगे को सलाम है, स्वराज चाहिए,
हमको अलग करो, जम्मू राज्य चाहिए।

The National Medical Commission’s Medical Assessment and Rating Board (MARB) has withdrawn the Letter of Permission (LoP) granted to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence, Kakryal, Reasi (Jammu & Kashmir), for running the MBBS course with 50 seats for the academic year 2025-26 . The decision, dated 6 January 2026, takes immediate effect and follows severe findings about non-compliance with minimum standards during a surprise inspection. To safeguard the interests of the students already admitted for the Academic Year 2025–26, the State/UT Authorities have been authorised to accommodate such students in other medical institutions within the Union Territory, as supernumerary seats, in accordance with applicable norms: NMC Officials
