Kashmir Shahis in the 1050s

Timeline

1. 1051–1055Srinagar · Jammu and KashmirIn the early 1050s the Shahi remnants based themselves in the Kashmir Valley, maintaining rule over local Hindu and Buddhist communities and controlling the passes leading to Gandhara and Punjab through mountain fortresses.
2. 1053–1058Peshawar and the Swat Valley · Khyber PakhtunkhwaIn the 1050s Ghaznavid forces repeatedly attacked Shahi positions in Gandhara and on the Punjab frontier; the Shahis resisted in coordination with the Rajput alliance but gradually lost control of Peshawar and the Swat Valley.
3. 1059–1060Kashmir and the Punjab frontier · IndiaBy the late 1050s Shahi central authority further disintegrated, with local fortresses and clans each acting independently; the political fragmentation of northwest India cleared part of the way for later Muslim powers to penetrate deeper into the subcontinent.
