Politically, the area is still passing through the ordeals of real and visionary leadership since independence.  Last to get a Tehsil, yet no institution of Higher Education as mentioned above are self explanatory so far our leadership at state level is concerned.

Choudhary Rehman, emerged as visionary  and dynamic leader of area, but soon after he left to Pakistan during partition.  Mirza Iqbal was another leader in post independence Darhal, However, Mirza Abdul Rashid raised as dynamic leader who served as speaker of J&K Assembly, and Health Minister as well as Member Parliament, yet political fate could not be changed as represented Rajouri.  Sadiq Malik was another star politician but due to Poilical huge constituency he could not come out of his contemporary Choudhary Mohd Hussain.
