{{nihongo|'''Inariyama Station'''|稲荷山駅|Inariyama-eki}} is a [[train station|railway station]] of [[Shinonoi Line]] located in the city of [[Nagano, Nagano|Nagano]], [[Nagano Prefecture]], [[Japan]]. |
|||
'''Kotli''' ([[Urdu]]: '''کوٹلی''') is the chief town of [[Kotli District]], in the [[Pakistan]]i-controlled [[Azad Kashmir]]. Kotli is linked with [[Mirpur, Pakistan|Mirpur]] by two metalled roads, one via [[Rajdhani, Kotli|Rajdhani]], (90 km) and the other via [[Charhoi]]. It is also directly linked with [[Rawalakot]] via [[Trarkhal]] (82 km) and a double road which links Kotli with the rest of Pakistan via [[Sehnsa]], another major town in Azad Kashmir. Kotli is roughly 4½ hours from [[Islamabad]] and [[Rawalpindi]], at a distance of 141 km via Sehnsa. |

This station has two side [[Railway platform|platforms]]. |
|||
Historically Kotli started out as race ground to the prince of the declining [[Dogra]] reign of Kashmir. With the decline of the Dogra dynasty and the swell of migrants crossing the border into the princely state came the birth of the first real town north of [[Mirpur, Pakistan|Mirpur]] and south of [[Bagh District]]. |

The original settlement of Kotli came in the 1850s through the alliance of the local landlords of Sohrotha "The Raja Baig's" and newly arrived migrants from [[Poonch District]]. Kotli was divided between the older, established Raja Baig clan that held lands from south of Pang Piran village to Sohrohta and the newly arrived "Syed's" of Poonch that held claims from Pang Piran in the north to the Bahhn river at the fringe of modern Kotli city. The rival [[baron]]s clung to the landlocked city, and much in the vein of feudal landlords controlled the town until the [[Great Depression]] of the 1930s toppled the economy and the reigning families. |
|||
The daily average usage for 2006 was 369 people. |
|||
== History == |
|||
With the onset of the [[Partition of India|India-Pakistan Partition]] in 1947, Kotli city became the standing post to the flood of immigrants that crossed the borders at [[Koihrota]], 32 miles east of Kotli. |

Today Kotli is a summer boom town. Noticeable villages in Kotli are Kurti, Roli and Dhamol.The real estate value of what was once a bus stop town between Mirpur and [[Muzaffarabad]] has created a thriving summer economy. The town has become a vision of three-storey mansions that have taken over the once-barren roads between the outer ring villages and the ever-expanding city sitting on the brim of the Poonch River. |

The mass emigration that took over the country in the 1960s has now created a steady boom of summer holiday makers from [[United Kingdom|Britain]] and beyond who seek to reconnect their European-born children to the old country. |

Kotli has international links throughout [[Europe]] and the [[Americas]]. Like many southern Kashmiris living on the fringes of the [[Mangla Dam]] in Mirpur, emigration fever took hold of the surrounding country from the mid 1950s onwards. |
|||
Kotli has ties with many European cities such as Amsterdam, Hamburg and the larger industrial cities of central England. |
|||
Many Kotli city residents have ties to British nationals in the town of [[Luton]], [[Bedfordshire]]. |
|||
==Demographics== |
|||
According to the 1998 census Kotli had a population of approximately 640,000. The majority of the people are ethnic [[Pahari]]s/[[Potwari]]s and account for approx 85% of the population followed by [[Pathans]], at 10% and the remainder are mostly Gujjars.
