History

Ancient Symbol of Friendship, Jajja Abbasian

Jajja was one of the kings of Kashmir (748-751 AD). According to some historians his ruling period extended between 782-785 AD. He was the brother in law of King Jayapida. He usurped the throne of Kashmir from Jayapida in 748 AD. In a fierce contest near Suskaletra in the Kashmir valley, Jajja was vanquished and slain after having had the possession of the land for three years.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]}
