History
Gilgit-Baltistan, located in the northernmost part of Pakistan, has a rich and diverse history shaped by its strategic location along the ancient Silk Road. Historically, it was a crossroads for various cultures, including Persian, Buddhist, and Islamic influences. The region was ruled by local dynasties, such as the Rajas of Hunza and Nagar, before being incorporated into the Dogra-controlled princely state of Jammu and Kashmir in the 19th century. In 1947, following the partition of British India, the people of Gilgit-Baltistan revolted against Dogra rule and aligned themselves with Pakistan. The region remains geopolitically significant, known for its stunning mountainous landscapes, including K2, and its cultural diversity, with multiple languages and ethnic groups coexisting. Today, it enjoys a special administrative status within Pakistan.
