💨 Abstract

In the 19th century, Kashmir experienced both natural and political upheavals. A flood caused by 52 hours of continuous rain led to unusual animal behavior and religious fervor, with villagers planting holy flags to ward off the waters. Mirwaiz Rasul Shah, the head of Srinagar’s Jamia mosque, started the Nusratul Islam seminary to eradicate syncretic practices in Islam.
