Rulers
The line of Governor of Jammu and Kashmir - the office this state names as its head of state.

4 rulers, 4 with terms dated as terms, covering 1925 – 2020. Median reign 2 years. 0 of 3 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Heads of government
The line of Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.
