I must clarify that my knowledge of specific events in 1899 CE related to Kashmir's eastern border is limited. However, I can provide some historical context about Kashmir during that period.
In 1899, the region of Kashmir was a princely state under British suzerainty, ruled by the Dogra dynasty. The eastern border of Kashmir was a contentious area, particularly due to its proximity to Tibet and the undefined boundaries in the Himalayan region. The British Empire, which controlled India at the time, was deeply involved in defining and securing borders in this strategically important area.
One of the key events during this period was the McMahon Line negotiations (which occurred later, in 1914), but the groundwork for such border delineations was being laid in the late 19th century. The British were concerned about Russian expansion into Central Asia and sought to secure their northern frontiers, including Kashmir. This led to various surveys and expeditions to map the region, often resulting in adjustments to territorial claims.
In 1899, it is possible that the eastern border of Kashmir was adjusted due to diplomatic negotiations or cartographic revisions. However, specific details about such an event are not well-documented in mainstream historical records. The region's remote and rugged terrain made accurate mapping difficult, and borders were often fluid or contested.
If you have more specific information or sources about this event, I would be happy to help refine this chapter further!
