Hunza:
The predominant religions in the region were Buddhism and, to a lesser extent, Bon. Numerous
Buddhist archaeological sites still exist in the area, including the Sacred Rock of Hunza. There used to be
Buddhist shelters close by. The Hunza Valley played a crucial role as a trade route connecting Central
Asia and the subcontinent. Additionally, it offered safety to Buddhist missionaries and monks travelling
to the subcontinent, and the area was crucial in spreading Buddhism throughout Asia.
Before Islam arrived in this area in the 15th century, the majority religion in the area was Buddhism.
Since then, the majority of the populace has embraced Islam.Hunza used to be a princely state that
bordered Xinjiang (an autonomous province of China) to the northeast and the Pamir to the northwest.
It lasted until Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto ultimately disbanded it in 1974. The state shared borders with the
former princely state of Nagar to the east and the Gilgit Agency to the south. Baltit, formerly known as
Karimabad, served as the state capital. Ganish Village, which translates to Baba Ganesh village is
another historic neighbourhood (a Buddhist name). For more than 900 years, Hunza was a stand-
alone principality; nevertheless.
Hunza was crucial to the success of the British Great Game. After the British Empire conquered Hunza
in 1891, the regions ruler, Mir Safdar Ali Khan, fled to Kashgar, China, and the British army installed his
brother, Mir Nazim Khan (1892–1938), as a puppet ruler of the Hunza Valley. However, all decisions
were made by British officers stationed in Gilgit, the regions capital.
