Members of civil society Wednesday paid glowing tributes to Robert Thorpe on his 149th death anniversary. at a Christian cemetery on November 22, 2017 Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir, India. Robert Thorpes father Colonel E Thorpe married a Kashmiri woman in 1833. In 1865, a young Robert visited Kashmir and wrote extensively about the miserable plight of Kashmiri Muslims under the autocratic Dogra rule in publications like Friends of India.
