HISTORY
The early history of NAGER and Hunza is recorded only in legends. Alexander the Great is reported to explore the mighty mountains of the Karakoram and reach Nager and Hunza in 325 B.C. you can also fined some sighn of hinduism culture beacuse hindu used to live this part of North Pakistan ,Some proofs of ancient history of NAGER and Hunza are visible on a huge rock near Ganesh village. It is richly carved and inscribed in Kharoshthi, Brahmi, Gupta, Sogdian and Tibetan scripts. There is a portrait of Gondophares, the Kushan king of Gandhara in the first century A.D. The portrait is labeled with his name and the date. Another inscription reads, 'Chandra Vikramaditya conquers, 419 AD.' Then, there are Tibetan inscriptions depicting hunters and Ibex. Bactrian writings indicate the invasion of Sassanians from Central Asia. A Chinese inscription depicts the passage of a royal ambassador, Ta Wei. Similarly, Buddhist stupas and horsemen tell their own stories. In fact, the rock served as a guestbook for ancient travelers.
Nager and Hunza appears in Tibetan history as a part of Gilgit. Tibetans called it Bruza and the people of the area were called Burushos. In 11th century A.D., the invading Shinas drove them to the valleys of Nager and Yasin where they set up HOPER, NAGER1 and sikanarabad. These were the only villages until the 18th century, when new techniques of cultivation caused the colony to expand.
In the 15th century, Hunza was a part of Nagar kingdom. The kingdom broke away in the 15th century. It was divided into Nagar and Hunza valleys between two warring brothers because of religious conflict.The conflict exists even today. The people of Nagar are Shiite Muslims and followers of Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran. Hunzakuts only 60% of the total population follow Agha Khani wealth . The slopes of Nager face south to the warming sun. Thus, the people are warm and open in nature. also concious then Hunzakus. HUNZAKUS KNWN AS GREEDY COST.
I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT THERE ARE TWO PARTS OF NAGER WHY THE NAGER VALLY IS 2TIMES BIGGER THEN HUNZA,
NAGER1 had always enjoyed close proximity with China, Afghanistan and Russia. However, the Russians were the first to realize its strategic importance. They signed a deal with Nager in 1887 and set up a post in return of weapons and military training. The British realized the danger. The next year, they sent Francis Young husband with some offers to negotiate with the ruler of Nager and Hunza. However, Hunzakuts calculated that the Russian offer was more profitable. They refused the British who, in return, decided to capture the valley by force. On November 30, 1891, the ruler of Nager declared a state of emergency. All night, drum was beaten in the royal fort summoning the people to defend the kingdom. Young men received weapons, set up their posts and put a heroic resistance. However, the British penetrated the kingdom and seized the state. They installed Mir Nazim Khan as the new ruler and enjoyed free passage to Kashgar. In 1895, they made a border agreement with Russia and declared Wakhan as the boundary between the two empires. Thus, the British consolidated themselves in Hunza. After partition, Hunza became a legal part of Pakistan in 1947. There started some clashes over boundary line between China and Pakistan. However, the conflict ended at a reasonable agreement in 1963.
Nagerkuts are simple and contented. They still believe in fairies and supernatural powers. Their folk tales and songs are based on accounts of fairies. They are humble and hardworking. Fear, fatigue and crime are not known to them. Christine Osborne relates a very interesting incident to show the simplicity of life in Nager
