What Is BALAWARISTAN: An overview of Balawaristan Nation-State (View of Nawaz Khan Naji)
I believe the balti broshoo(yashkoon) sheen khowar and wakhi people and those Kashmiris gujjars kohistanis
pathans turks and hazaris who lived there before the Pakistani occupationBelong to yhe sae nation. We need a
common name this area is th junction of the Himalayas Hindu kush and karakoram ranges in between the roof
of the word tibet and pamir. There are many high peaks like nanga parbet and the biggest glaciers of the world
like siachen here. In the past the area was known as the bala which means high. The people were called balawar.
That is why We call the area from ladakh tp chitral balawaristan. This area was part of Jammu and Kashmir.
After partition ad the wars with india it was ocupied by pakistan. But it is never described as azad Kashmir but as
the northern areas by Islamabad which rules it by proxy In the early 18th centry balawar was divided into several
states which were attacked and occupied by tibetians by chinese and others. by 1850 there were three powers
in the region Dogras sikhs ad the british They attacked first in ladakh then baltistan then Gilgit and then chitral
and occupied the area.From 1850 to 1947 the regijon was under the control of kashmiris rulers. But the people
of region fought to expel dogras from gilgit baltistan. they had a golden chance during partition when the
mahraja (acceded) to india. At that time our people fought against kashmiris and established a free government
the republic of Gilgit. The first president of Gilgit was Raja shah rais khan. after 15 days of rule the asked for
pakistans help not for annexation because kashmir had already been annexed by india ad pakistani officials
come to gilgit. but because they were weak the pakistanis occupied the area, expelled the president appoited
a political agent and gilgit became once again a political agency of pakistan like it was an agency of british india
in the past. but pakistan had no chance legally to rule the area. Therefore they made an arrangement with the
azad kashmirgovernment in 1949 that until the status of kashmir is settled the area would be ruled by federal
government islamabad. It is under this agreement that Islamabad rules the region But the pakistani government
is only a caretaker government till the decision on kashmir. Once the kashmir issue is settled we will decide
our future course whether we want to go with Pakistan with india with independent kashmir or become
independent ourselves.
