Yawar Nazir/Getty Images : SRINAGAR, KASHMIR- NOVEMBER 22: A Kashmiri Muslim man scatters flowers on the grave as he pays homage to Robert Thorpe, on his 145th death anniversary at a Christian cemetery on November 22, 2013 Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir, India. Robert Thorpes father Colonel E Thorpe married a Kashmiri woman in 1833. In 1865, a young Robert visited Kashmir and wrote extensively about the miserable plight of Kashmiri Muslims under the autocratic Dogra rule in publications like Friends of India. His posthumously-published book, 'Cashmere Misgovernment' is one of the "most authentic account of unpaid forced-labour Kashmir people were subjected to under the autocratic rule and other forms of mistreatment," according to one Kashmiri historian. Although deported from Kashmir by a rattled Dogra administration, Thorpe covertly returned to Kashmir but was found dead on a hill under mysterious conditions.
