Abstract	The present research aims to provide a historical overview to comprehend the position of women during the Dogra rule in Kashmir, mainly through Urdu writings. Historical evidence indicates that women in Jammu and Kashmir enjoy a high social status, similar to other parts of India. However, there was a significant deterioration in the status of women in Kashmir during the Dogra rule. Women were primarily identified with silence and deprivation. From the 5th five-year plan onwards, women's role was recognized, and they also made substantial contributions to the Kashmir economy, besides performing traditional household duties like cooking, cleaning, grain grinding, and home maintenance for ages. The study focuses on the Dogra rule and highlights the atrocities committed against women in Kashmir and how Urdu writers portray these incidents in their works. The primary goal is to explore the condition of women and the exploitation they encountered during the Dogra rule, primarily through Urdu literature.
