About the battle
The Battle of Hastivanj was fought between armies of Mughal Empire under Qasim Khan and Kashmir Sultanate under Shams Chak. It was fought on 10 October 1586 on a mountain ridge known as Hastivanj near modern-day Pir Ki Gali Pass. It resulted in Mughal victory and subsequent annexation of Kashmir into Mughal Empire.
The battle, along with the fall of Srinagar on 14 October 1586, marks the de facto end of the Mughal conquest of Kashmir.
