Nawab Jassi Khan Siddozai was the first Pakhtun ruler who laid the foundations of the Sidhnuti state. He attacked Sidhnuti in the 14th century AD, at that time Sidhnuti was ruled by Ladin Bhagads and Ghaghars who, earlier, ruled Sidhnuti. Its first name was Bhan and was ruled by Brahmins who were usurped by the Bhagaras. There were Bhagar Ladin who oppressed the religious Brahmins, so the Brahmins invited Nawab Jassi Khan to attack Bhan Sidhnuti against this oppression. So Nawab Jassi Khan attacked Bhan and conquered it, naming it Sidhnuti

History of Sidhnuti

The Sudhanoti, whose first name was Bhan Ya (Brahman), was defeated by the Pashtun Sadozai invaders in the thirteenth century AD, defeating the Bhagar Rajputs and naming it Sudhanoti. The state of Sudhanoti is one of the former ten states of Jammu and Kashmir. Its history is approximately one thousand two hundred years old, and Sudhanoti was ruled by Brahmins from 830 to 1105 AD.

The Brahman Raj was invaded by the Rajputs of hill Punjab in 1005 and captured Sudhanoti in 1105. The Bhagar Rajputs ruled Sudhanoti from 1105 to 1407. The Bhagar Rajputs were then attacked by the Afghan chief named Nawab Jassi Khan in 1407 AD, defeating them and establishing their own Sadozai government.

The Sadozai tribe ruled Sudhanoti from 1407 to 1832. Sudhanoti, which from 800 to 1832 was called the fully independent state of Sudhanoti, came to an end in the Third Sikh Sudhanoti War, in which fifty to thirty thousand Sadozai people were killed. The Sikh Khalsa merged with the state of Poonch and brought it under the control of the Lahore government.

Later, from 1940 to 1947, it was a tehsil of Jammu province. Thereafter, in 1947, Sudhanoti became the capital of the Azad Kashmir Revolutionary Government, which was the capital of the Azad Kashmir Revolutionary Government from 1947 to 1949.

It was Sidhnuti in Jammu Kashmir that first became independent from Dogra succession, and here First Government of Sidhnuti Azad Kashmir on October 4,1947 was established.

After that, in 1960, Siddhunati was divided into four districts: Poonch, Bagh, Kotli, and the rest of Siddhunti into one agency until 1996. After 1996, Siddhunti was also converted into a district.

History of the name Sudhnuti

The known history of Sidhnuti, whose earlier name was Bhan, dates back to 830 AD. Iqbal Darwish, a well-known historian of Siddhnauti, writes in Siddhnauti History that in the 8th century AD, Siddhnauti was ruled by regular Hindu Brahmins. After which the condition of the Brahmins became worse. Historian Fazlahi writes in Sardaran Sidhnuti that the knowledge of the Sidhans is known through awareness. When most of the Afghan chieftains moved from Afghanistan to India in the 14th century AD, among them Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan Saduzai, along with three hundred warriors and two hundred women of his tribe, camped in Rawalpindi from different parts of India. The Brahmins of Bhan Sidhnuti, who had been persecuted by the Bhagar Rajputs for a long time, brought this Afghan Nawab to attack the Baghars and Ghaghars occupying their country. So the Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan attacked (Bhan Sidhnuti) and defeated the Baghars and Ghaghars, after which the Brahmins gave Jassi Khan the title of Sidhan on the coronation of Nawab Jissi Khan at Sidhnuti, which means brave and just. After the Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan gained government control over Bhan, the name was changed from Bhan to Sidhnuti, which means the place of Sidhu's stay. This well-known name Sudhnuti is also recorded in the first Indian census of 1881. History of the Muslim Nations of Punjab was written by British officer Lt. Col. JM Wakely when Poonch was part of the British province of Punjab and the Insaf Kot of Poonch was also in Lahore, Punjab. Books were written containing the information obtained from the census of Punjabi Muslims, in which he assigns the name of Sidhnuti to Nawab Jassi Khan. He writes that here Sidhnuti was formerly ruled by Brahmins from whom the Bhagars and Ghaghars had taken away their government and occupied their country. So the Brahmins brought the Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan Saduzai to attack the Bhagars, after which the Afghan Nawab attacked the Bhagars and defeated them and established his government here. The British Lt. Weekley, the author of Kitab Punjab Muslim, writes that after the coronation of the government of Nawab Jassi Khan Saduzai, the Brahmins gave him the title of Sadhan, which means brave and just. So after that, the Afghan Nawab Jassi Khan Sidhuzai took control of the government at Bhan and changed its name from Bhan to Sidhnuti, which means the place of settlement of Sadhus.
