The Battle of Hastivanj (Nāgari: हास्टिवानज़ युद्ध Haastivaanaz Yuddh, Nastaʿlīq: جنگ هستیوانج Jang-i-Hastivaanj) was fought on 10 October 1586 between the Mughal army led by the Mir Bahr Qasim Khan and a Kashmiri army under the Chak leader Shams Chak.[1]
Consequences
The battle, along with the Fall of Srinagar on 14 October 1586, marks the de facto end of the Mughal conquest of Kashmir. It took place near the Pass of Hastivanj close to the Peer ki Gali and was a decisive Mughal victory.[2]
