3. Jammu and kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir, union territory of India (until October 31, 2019, a state), located in the northern part
of the Indian subcontinent in the vicinity of the Karakoram and westernmost Himalayan mountain ranges.
The territory is part of the larger region of Kashmir, which has been the subject of dispute between India,
Pakistan, and China since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947. Legislation passed in August 2019 set the
stage for downgrading Jammu and Kashmir from statehood to union territory status and splitting off a part of
it, known as the Ladakh region, into a separate union territory.
The change went into effect on October 31 of that year, though several court cases affecting its status remained
pending. The information that follows describes the former state of Jammu and Kashmir, including the
Ladakh region.Jammu and Kashmir, formerly one of the largest princely states of India, is bounded to the
northeast by the Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang (China), to the east by the Tibet Autonomous Region
(China) and the Chinese-administered portions of Kashmir, to the south by the Indian states of Himachal
Pradesh and Punjab, to the southwest by Pakistan, and to the northwest by the Pakistani-administered portion
of Kashmir. The administrative capitals are Srinagar in summer and Jammu in winter. Area 39,146 square
miles (101,387 square km). Pop. (2011) 12,541,302.

4. Land
The vast majority of the state’s territory is mountainous, and the
physiography is divided into seven zones that are closely
associated with the structural components of the western
Himalayas. From southwest to northeast those zones consist of
the plains, the foothills, the Pir Panjal Range, the Vale of
Kashmir, the Great Himalayas zone, the upper Indus River valley,
and the Karakoram Range.
The climate varies from alpine in the northeast to subtropical in
the southwest. In the alpine area, average annual precipitation is
about 3 inches (75 mm), but in the subtropical zone (around
Jammu) rainfall amounts to about 45 inches (1,150 mm) per year.
The entire region is prone to violent seismic activity, and light to
moderate tremors are common. A strong earthquake centred in
neighbouring Pakistani-administered Kashmir killed hundreds in
Jammu and Kashmir state in 2005.
