After the First Anglo-Sikh War (1845–46), the British defeated the Sikhs and signed the Treaty of Lahore. Soon after, on 16 March 1846, they signed the Treaty of Amritsar with Raja Gulab Singh, the Dogra ruler of Jammu. According to this treaty, the British sold Kashmir to Gulab Singh for 7.5 million Nanakshahee rupees (Rs. 75 lakh). Gulab Singh thus became the first Maharaja of the princely state of Jammu & Kashmir, laying the foundation of Dogra rule.
