The dynasty was founded by Raja Gulab Singh, who was granted the state of Jammu and Kashmir by the British East India Company in 1846 after the First Anglo-Sikh War. The Dogra dynasty ruled over Ladakh from 1839 onwards, when it was conquered by the Dogra army. The Dogra rulers were known for their military prowess and their strong administration.
