Due to international
law, Gilgit-Baltistan is a disputed territory even though Gilgit-Baltistan is
practically part of Pakistan and the rest of the entire population except a few
are part of Pakistan and the rest of the entire population except a few want
regular access to Pakistan. Even the people of Gilgit-Baltistan are protesting
for regular accession to Pakistan in defiance of international law.
Gilgit-Baltistan was
given semi-provincial status by a presidential ordinance during the PPP regime.
Hafiz Hafeez-ur-Rehman is currently the Chief Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Civil society groups say the law and order situation has improved under the
current government and development work has increased. The people who are
protesting are actually against the Ordinance 2018 because this ordinance does
not give full civil rights to the people here like other people of Pakistan.
Go. The people demand that Gilgit-Baltistan be represented in the National assembly like other provinces. During the protest, various political and
religious figures have been put on scheduled forums on various charges, while
these people are patriots and have not committed any terrorism. Locals are
calling the move an unnecessary government response.
Gilgit-Baltistan is
famous all over the world for its dried fruits and tourism and most of its
income depends on these two sources. Now, due to C-Pack, some projects are in
the process of completion which will create new employment opportunities. There
is only one university for the millions of people of Gilgit-Baltistan and most
of the students go to different cities of Pakistan to pursue higher studies.
The only means of transportation between Pakistan and Gilgit-Baltistan is PIA
flights and private bus service. However, PIA fares are so high that they are
beyond the reach of the common man, while private bus services are available
for such a large population. Are insufficient The government should take steps
to improve this. The incidents that took place in Chilas in which female
students' schools were burnt down are considered by our sources as a conspiracy
to thwart C-Pack.
Culture of
Gilgit-Baltistan:
This region of
Gilgit-Baltistan is the only region where people meet with a new language, a
new culture, a new civilization, and a new identity every twenty kilometers. At
every step of this small area, there is a diverse culture, civilization, food, and clothing. Gilgit-Baltistan does not have a common culture of its own but it
is a beautiful collection of diverse cultures. The people here do not belong to any one particular culture, nor can we forcibly associate it with anyone culture to distort this great history. Gilgit-Baltistan is a unique confluence
of colorful cultures. Residents from Kashmir, Ladakh, Tibet, Kargil,
Afghanistan, Tajikistan, China, and Central Asia came here to seek employment or
livelihood. Their language, dress, food, lifestyle, festivals seem to be
completely different and unique from each other in every aspect of life.
Different religions must have interfered in the lives of these people at every age because the free choice of religion was in the hands of the rulers and tribal chiefs. Therefore, different religions were recognized as official religions here in different periods. These religions had a direct effect on their culture, which led to the disappearance of many features from their original culture. As some of our cultures still reflect the rituals of the pagan era. We can never shy away from saying that Gilgit-Baltistan has the same culture and civilization. The combined use of just one hat can never prove it.
Most of the
people in the upper Hunza came from Tajikistan, China, Afghanistan, the Pamirs,
Afghanistan, Gircha, Samarkand, and around Central Asia. And bring with you
your unique dress, customs, culture, values, food, and language as a culture. Most
of the families of Central Hunza also belong to the areas which gradually came
and settled in Hunza in the form of gypsies. The reason for the arrival of
Brocho people in these areas are said to be separated from the journey of
Alexander the Great's military caravan. And it is said that some families are
from around Gilgit-Baltistan, namely Darul, Tangir, and Chilas. The culture of
Upper Hunza from Central Asia included mixed dance and women's dance as a
cultural element in weddings and other celebrations, as is the case today, in
Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and most parts of Central Asia. Countries as a
cultural element. Similarly, some parts of Gilgit-Baltistan have their own
distinct cultural status of distance and kissing from women, which is not the
case in other parts of Gilgit-Baltistan. Now we can never call this one
cultural element the common culture of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan. There is
also cultural diversity within Hunza. That is, the cultures of the upper,
central, and lower Hunza are also quite different due to their evolution.

Muslims in Tajikistan,
Afghanistan, Iran, and many Central Asian countries still live with their culture,
with a unique place in various festivals mixed with the insignificant. People
of all Muslim sects live in these areas and adopt the same culture. Culture has
nothing to do with religion, but religion has been part of these cultures from
the beginning. When culture is linked to religion, new problems arise. As time
went on, many tribal, regional, or ancient rituals became part of a religion
that had nothing to do with religion.
The culture of the
people living in Baltistan is very different and unique from other cultures of
Gilgit-Baltistan. They are mostly from Tibet, Kargil, Ladakh, and adjoining
areas of India whose culture, customs, food, language, and social values are
very different. Their culture is unique and unique. We can never separate the culture
and roots of their roots.
Similarly, the culture
of postwar is unique. Historically, the kings of Postwar belonged to Iran and
ruled Khurramang, Astor, Skardu, and Rondo in these areas. Due to its
historical, commercial, and border tiles along the Neelum Valley, Astor's
clothing, food, and culture reflect Kashmiri culture, as these areas had ancient
ties with Kashmir and adjoining areas. From the early evolution of this culture
to the present day, the process of cultures has been associated with the cultures
of Kashmiri, Balti, Chitrali, and Gilgit.
Diamer has its own
culture, language, and civilization. Tribal rule prevailed in these areas and
the influence of the chiefs flourished, which is why their culture today
reflects something that is uniquely alive among the people of the area.
Which of these
beautiful collections of cultures do we call the common culture of
Gilgit-Baltistan?
Nowadays, the culture
of Gilgit-Baltistan is much talked about and should be debated. First of all,
it should be kept in mind that Gilgit-Baltistan does not have a common culture
which we can call "Gilgit-Baltistan culture" and its interpretation
can be based on the culture of a region or a language. The answer is no,
everyone has their own level of thinking and scale. Some people try to test it
from a religious point of view, while others look at it with pride. In short,
it must first be acknowledged that there is no single culture in the region.
The cultures of all the provinces were presented through mixed dance. There are
Muslims in all provinces who later recognized mixed dance as a culture. As
Gilgit-Baltistan is still emerging in the world, women, shame, religion, honor, and culture seem to be riding together in our minds. Time is the cure for all
these things. Its strings are not in anyone's hands. The reaction is a natural
process. God, a decade from today, our reaction will never be the same as it is
today. We cannot criticize anyone because everyone has their own ideology and
standard of thinking, but it has its environment, thought, culture, religion, and language.
If we go beyond our
regional prejudices and look at it in terms of cultural diversity, we can
create positive thinking within ourselves. Only by acknowledging and
acknowledging the existence of the female cast as free human beings can we be
free from this one-sided thinking. Honor, dignity, shame, and the expression of
our thinking to free our parents in chains of obscenity.
The deeds of our
parents, independents, and especially our leaders in the past are not hidden
from anyone. When what was happening and what is happening is not hidden from
anyone. From here, we hid from the actions of the cities, but this movement was
never measured by regional pride. When the men of our region go to the cities
and indulge in luxuries, tarnish the sanctity of the region, then where will
the Islamic values, the pride of the homeland, the high standards of shame go?
Why doesn't anyone call these actions obscene?
