Historic Jammu



Harappan claims, artifact gains. Source ancient blames.
Maurya-Kushan-Gupta, Archaeology at Akhnoor remains

Mahabharata! Gulabnama, Rajdarshani are chronicles,
Three millennium history, hails, of city downhills.

Hold Rajatarangini, told "Raja Maldev counter Timur's invasion
Engineered palaces in Purani Mandi. Accommodate fashion".

Hold on! Might Jammu figured vast in past,
Still ancestry is sourcless, less interest and lost.

Jammu! Then Jambu of Jambu Lochan. Chieftain.
Jambupura appeared with new station (Capital).

Tawi! It's gravy! Jambu grasp lion and goat sincerity
Lock up vision, mission to set up a citycity in vicinity.

Baba Roshan Shah Wali, a Muslim believed of Arabia saint
Chronology miss place. Came. Fall at 800/900 AD of date.

Quote Tarikh-i-Azmi, note "Durgara, now Duggar or Dogra,
Orchestra! Of eleven states brought into Jammu. Integra!

Early 1800s, till Jammu, historiography is mystery,
And century saw, "Raja Dhruv Deva and early modern history.
