ابر، ہوا ، مہتاب ، گٹھائیں ،بادل ، جھرنے ، بجلی ، پھول اس دامن میں سب ہی کچھ ہے ۔۔ ۔۔ ۔۔ ۔۔ ۔۔۔ ۔۔۔ ۔۔۔ ۔۔۔ ۔۔ ۔۔ "virtual provokes actual" Basic thought is to explore every place of Gilgit Baltistan About Gilgit Baltistan: ============== From the mighty stretches of the Karakorams in the North to the vast alluvial delta of the Indus River in the South, Pakistan remains a land of high adventure and nature. Trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, wild boar hunting, mountain and desert jeep safaris, camel and yak safaris, trout fishing and bird watching, are a few activities, which entice the adventure and nature lovers to Pakistan. Introduction (Northern Area of Pakistan) ========================= The Northern Area is the most spectacular and fascinating region of Pakistan. It is here that the world's three famous mountain ranges meet - the Himalayas, the Karakorams and the Hindukush. The whole Northern Pakistan has come to be known as a paradise for mountaineers, climbers, trekkers, hikers and anglers of the most famous Trout fish. In the northern regions of Pakistan, at a stone's throw from the Amu Darya, is Bam-e-Dunya (the roof of the world). This was the name given to the great Pamir plateau, apex of six of the mightiest mountain ranges of the world. Baltistan ========= Actually a complex of beautiful valleys, is situated amid the famous ranges of Himalaya and Karakoram, straddling the river Indus, between Ladakh and Gilgit. Some of the highest peaks of the world - Chogo-ri (K-2), Mashabrum (K-1) and Gashabrum group of peaks besides beautiful glaciers like Sia-chen, Baltoro, Biafo and Chogo-lungma are situated in this region. The dimensions of Baltistan have been fluctuating over the course of history. It is currently smaller than ever before, with an area of 17,000 square kms. and an estimated population of 4,00,000. Baltistan consists of six major valleys like Skardo, Rongdo, Shigar, Khaplo, Kharmang and Gultari. Baltistan presents a beautiful contrast of high peaks, deep gorges, straddling glaciers, vast deserts, sandy plains, turquoise blue lakes, colourful panorama, lush green oases and villages. Historical Prospective ================== The first reference about the area (Baltistan) occurs in the Epic of King Gesar (Kesar), but in a fragmentary shape. Reliable historical records date from the last days of Palolashahi rulers of Baltistan (Palolo) who, according to some rock-inscriptions, ruled the area of Ladakh and Gilgit too from the 5th century to 727 AD. In 727 AD the Tibetan king Khri-Lde-gtsug-bRtan invaded Baltistan and in 737 AD the Tibetans conquered Brushal (modern Gilgit) annexing these to their empire. These areas remained provinces of the Tibetan empire till the death of the last king of Tibet Glang-Darma around 880/900 AD, when the foremost western provinces, Baltistan and Brushal became independent. Since then till the 12th century AD, Baltistan remained under several petty chiefs under the overlordship of the Shagari-tribe of Skardo. In 12/13th century AD, a young fugitive namely Ibrahim Shah, migrated to Baltistan from Iran via Kashmir, managed to obtain power in Skardo and founded the Maqpon Dynasty which subsequently ruled the area for twenty-four succeeding generations. During the reign of ninth Maqpon ruler namely Ghota-Cho-Senge, one Saint Syed Ali Hamadani introduced Islam to the region. In 1531 AD Sultan Saeed Khan, the ruler of Kashgar invaded Ladakh and Baltistan. Ali Sher Khan Anchan the most powerful king, fifteenth in the kings of the Maqpon Dynasty, conquered Ladakh and Western Tibet up to Purang in the east and Gilgit and Chitral in the west during his reign (1590-1625 AD). Similarly his grandson Shah Murad conquered all these areas for the second time between 1655-1680 AD. For about two hundred years all these areas remained tributaries to the Maqpoon kings of Baltistan. A comparatively new, more graceful culture and tradition of fine-arts flourished during this era. The Maqpon kings were great patrons and admirers of the new culture and society. In 1779 AD the Afghans of Kashmir invaded Skardo but could not sustain their control any longer. In 1840 AD the Dogras of Jammu conquered Baltistan and annexed it to their State, but in 1947-48 AD the area was annexed to Pakistan. However, Pakistan has maintained its status as the disputed area of Kashmir. Language & its origin =============== The language spoken by the entire population of Baltistan is called -BALTI- which is an archaic dialect of Tibetan language. At present Balti has been heavily influenced by Burushaski, Turkish and Urdu and affected by Muslim literature in Persian. With the result, it has deviated from the original Tibetan language.

Invention of computer and internet are the example of their development. Pakistan is an under developed country. There are many problems and hurdles to face. Especially in the field of education, the standard of education and literacy rate is very low. In the light of these conditions it is difficult to educate the new generation but not impossible. Because these days we have to spend a lot of money even to buy a single word and only wealthy people can afford this. Poor people can't provide this expensive education to their children or in other words they are deprived off from the quality education. Northern areas specially Skardu is the most distant and under developed area of the Baltistan. The people of Baltistan are deprived off not only from the basic necessities of life but also from the fundamental need of this modern era that is education etc. So under these circumstances it was the needs of time to establish a comprehensive education plan for the poor and orphan children in the northern areas to brighten their future so that they can contribute toward the country's development. Allhamd-ul-allah Bord of governors of northern areas and Balti people took theirresponsibility. This plan was in their mind from many years and to fulfill this plan they devoted their full time and struggle. Fortunately, with the blessings of Allah they got very noble and enthusiastic company.
