Sudhans are one of the major tribes from the districts of Poonch, Sudhanoti, Bagh and Kolti in Kashmir.
Rebellion against Kashmir State
Sudhans rebelled against the Maharaja of Kashmir under the directions of the Pakistan Army in 1947-1948, and with the support of Pashtun tribal lashkars sent in from the Khyber and Waziristan tribal agencies and although Kashmir state acceded to India, they were able to 'liberate' a portion called Azad Kashmir (Free Kashmir/ controlled by Pakistan).
Sudhans were not given security clearance until 1972, and were not accepted in the Pakistan Military Academy regular course until 1965.
