Lalitaditya [724- 760 A.D.] :He was a great kashmiri king who ruled kashmir,  North India , parts of South India , parts of central Asia and Afghanistan for a short period of time. However, Indian historians ignored him out of some unknown grudge . Some of them even don't mention him. 


 * Kashmiri Language : The first known kashmiri poets who wrote their poetry in kashmiri language are LAL DED [ 14th century A. D. ] , NUND RESHI [ 1377- 1440 A. D. ] and HABBA KHATOON  [ 1554- 1609 A.D. ] . Though kashmiri was never the official language in the valley of kashmir until recently,  yet the common masses loved to interact with one another in this beautiful language . It was loved , used and developed by common people, poets , Sufis , reshis and religious folk . The kings, ministers , gentry and other officials preferred other languages to the kashmiri language down the ages passed .
