from whence this caft of manners and difpofition has anfen. He
will perceive that the lingular pofition of their country, its abun
dant and valuable produce, with a happy climate, tend to excite
ftrong inclinations to luxury and effeminate pleafures ; and h^ ia
aware, that to counterafl caufes, naturally tending to enervate
and corrupt the mind, a fyftem of religion or moiahty is neceffary
to inculcate the love of virtue, and efpecially, to impiefs the youth
with early fentiments of juftice and humanity. But he will evi
dently fee, that neither the religious or the moral precepts of the
prefent race of Mahometans contain the principles of reftitude or
philanthropy; that on the contrary, they are taught to look with
abhorrence on the faireft portion of x the globe, and to perfecute
and injure thofe who are not inclofed in the fold of their prophet.
Seeing then the Kafhmirians, prefiding as it were at the fountain
head of pleafure, neither guided or checked by any principle or ex
ample of virtue, he will not be furprized, that they give a wide
fcope to the paffions of the mind and the enjoyments of the
body.
Azad Khan, the prefent governor of Kafhmire, of the Af
ghan tribe, fucceeded his father Hadji * Kareem Dad, a domeftic
officer of Ahmed Shah Duranny, and who was, at the death of
that prince* advanced to the government of Kafhmire, by Timur
Shah, as a reward for quelling the rebellion of the Amir Khan*
* Thofe who have made the pilgrimage of Mecca are termed Hadji.
