Mufti seeks preservation of tomb of Kashmir’s last indigenous king in Bihar

Hindustan Times  

Peoples Democratic Party leader Mehbooba Mufti has asked chief minister Nitish Kumar to preserve in Nalanda, his home district, the tomb of Kashmir’s last indigenous king Yousuf Shah Chak, who died in Bihar after Mughal emperor Akbar exiled him after invading his kingdom in the 16th century. Chak remains part of Kashmir’s collective memory not just as its last indigenous king but also through the poetry of his queen Habba Khatun, who is one of the region’s greatest cultural icons. The development of the site would boost tourism.” She said the burial ground has enough land where a park could also be developed for the convenience of the visitors.”.Nitish Kumar would definitely respond in a positive manner.” Nalanda district magistrate Shashank Shubhankar, who accompanied Mufti to the site, said there has been a plan to develop boundary walls over the land around the grave. “In 2019, Omar Abdullah, another former chief minister of J&K, requested the government to protect the part of Kashmir’s history in Bihar, but nothing happened,” he said.
