The Mughal padshah (emperor) Akbar the Great conquered Kashmir, taking advantage of Kashmir's internal Sunni-Shia divisions,[40] and thus ended indigenous Kashmiri Muslim rule.[6] Akbar added it in 1586 to Kabul Subah, but Shah Jahan carved it out as a separate subah (imperial top-level province) with seat at Srinagar. Later Mughal rulers oppressed Kashmir's Hindus and temple demolitions, forced conversions, rape and discrimination against Hindus occurred
