New Constitution for Central Asia:
Endorsement of 1969 Constitution by Imamat:
February 19th, 1969
My dear spiritual children
You will be happy to know that under my Firman His Highness the Mir of Hunza, with the assistance of Haji Qudrat-Ullah Beg submitted to me a draft constitution for my Jamats of Hunza State, Gilgit Agency, Chitral State and of Central Asia generally. This constitution has been drawn up in order to better the administration of our Jamati affairs and thus be of considerable benefit to all my spiritual children living in the afore-mentioned areas. Indeed the existence of such constitution for the Ismaili Jamat in Pakistan and many other countries has proved to be significant step in enabling the Jamat to run their affairs methodically and consistently and in keeping with our times. It would not be right if the Jamats of Hunza State, Gilgit Agency, Chitral State and Central Asia do not benefit from a similar means with which to improve the administration of their affairs.
I have approved the new constitution and wish it to become effective on the occasion of Navroz, the 21st March of this year.
From Navroz onwards I wish to every spiritual child in the afore-mentioned areas to live by rules of the new constitution and to make it to his or her personal responsibility to ensure that the constitution is put into practice in the spirit in which the document has been conceived. I particularly wish to emphasise that the Mukhis as defined in the new constitution are not to be compared with the ‘Qadimi’ Mukhis.
On this historic occasion of the introduction of the first constitution of my spiritual children in the afore-mentioned parts of the world. I send each and every one of you individually my warmest and most affectionate loving blessings. You are all constantly in my heart and thoughts.

Yours affectionately,
Aga Khan

Address by Mir Jamal Khan:



23rd May, 1973
My dear spiritual child,
I send you my most affectionate paternal maternal loving blessings for your good work and devoted services reported to me by Vazir Amirali Currim and by the Central Asia delegates during their third recent visit to Paris.
I am very happy with your excellent work and I send you and all the members of your family my most affectionate loving blessings. You are all constantly in my heart and thoughts.


Yours affectionately,
Aga Khan
Wazir Qudratullah Beg,

Reincarnation and Selection of a Dalailama

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Dalai-Lama

🌺 رینکارنیشن اور سیلیکشن پروسیس — ایک بودھ مت روایت میں دلائی لامہ کی تلاش

✨ تمہید

بدھ مت کی روحانی روایت میں "رینکارنیشن" یعنی دوبارہ جنم ایک مرکزی عقیدہ ہے۔
یہ عقیدہ محض مذہبی تصور نہیں بلکہ اخلاقی و روحانی تسلسل کا مظہر ہے۔
تبتی بدھ مت میں اس نظریے کی سب سے نمایاں مثال دلائی لامہ کے سلسلے کی صورت میں ملتی ہے، جو صدیوں سے انسانی دانائی، ہمدردی اور روحانی قیادت کی علامت چلا آ رہا ہے۔

---

🌼 رینکارنیشن کا عقیدہ — ایک نیا جنم، ایک پرانا وعدہ

بدھ مت کے مطابق ہر انسان اپنے کرما (اعمال) کے مطابق دوبارہ جنم لیتا ہے۔
لیکن کچھ اعلیٰ روحانی ہستیاں، جنہیں تُلوک (Tulku) کہا جاتا ہے، اپنی مرضی سے دنیا میں دوبارہ آتی ہیں تاکہ وہ انسانیت کی خدمت اور رہنمائی کا کام جاری رکھ سکیں۔
دلائی لامہ انہی میں سے ایک ہیں — وہ گوتم بدھ کے نظریۂ کرم، رحم اور دانائی کے عملی مظہر ہیں۔

---

🕉️ دلائی لامہ کون ہیں؟

"دلائی" منگولی زبان کا لفظ ہے، جس کا مطلب ہے "دانائی کا سمندر"۔
دلائی لامہ تبتی عوام کے لیے نہ صرف ایک روحانی رہنما بلکہ اخلاقی و ثقافتی شناخت کے علمبردار ہیں۔
موجودہ 14ویں دلائی لامہ، تنزن گیاتسو، 1935 میں پیدا ہوئے اور دو برس کی عمر میں پچھلے دلائی لامہ کی رینکارنیشن کے طور پر پہچانے گئے۔

---

🔍 دلائی لامہ کی تلاش اور انتخاب کا روحانی عمل

دلائی لامہ کی تلاش کا عمل گہری روحانیت، مشاہدے اور روایتی حکمت کا امتزاج ہے۔
یہ عمل عام طور پر درج ذیل مراحل پر مشتمل ہوتا ہے:

1. وفات اور روحانی علامات:
   پچھلے دلائی لامہ کی وفات کے بعد لامہ حضرات خوابوں، بدشگونیوں اور مراقبے کے ذریعے اشارے حاصل کرتے ہیں کہ نیا جنم کہاں ہو سکتا ہے۔

2. "پولمو جھیل" کی زیارت:
   تبتی لامہ ایک مقدس جھیل — Lhamo Latso — کے کنارے مراقبہ کرتے ہیں۔
   کہا جاتا ہے کہ جھیل کے پانی میں کچھ علامات ظاہر ہوتی ہیں، جو نئے دلائی لامہ کے مقام کی نشاندہی کرتی ہیں۔

3. تلاش کی مہم:
   ایک مذہبی وفد اُن علاقوں میں جاتا ہے جہاں خوابوں یا علامات سے رہنمائی ملی ہو۔
   وہ مخصوص بچوں کی حرکات، بات چیت اور فطری رجحانات کا مشاہدہ کرتے ہیں۔

4. شناخت کی آزمائش:
   منتخب بچے کو پچھلے دلائی لامہ کی استعمال شدہ اشیاء (مثلاً مالا، برتن، کتابیں) دکھائی جاتی ہیں۔
   اگر بچہ درست اشیاء پہچان لے تو یہ اس کی شناخت کا ثبوت سمجھا جاتا ہے۔

5. تصدیق اور تربیت:
   پنچن لامہ اور دیگر روحانی سربراہ اس شناخت کی تصدیق کرتے ہیں۔
   پھر نیا دلائی لامہ مخصوص تربیت حاصل کرتا ہے تاکہ وہ روحانی اور فکری قیادت کے لیے تیار ہو سکے۔

---

⚖️ سیاسی پہلو اور جدید چیلنجز

جدید دور میں دلائی لامہ کی رینکارنیشن کا عمل سیاسی اختلافات کا شکار بھی ہوا ہے۔
چینی حکومت اس انتخاب پر اثر انداز ہونے کی کوشش کر رہی ہے، جبکہ موجودہ دلائی لامہ نے کہا ہے کہ اگلی رینکارنیشن شاید بھارت میں ہو، یا پھر یہ سلسلہ ختم بھی کیا جا سکتا ہے اگر اس کی ضرورت باقی نہ رہی۔
یہ موقف اس بات کی علامت ہے کہ روحانی قیادت کو زمانے کی حقیقتوں سے ہم آہنگ رہنا چاہیے

His Highness Aga Khan's views about Dalai Lama

There are no widely-published, detailed statements from His Highness Aga Khan (Prince Karim Aga Khan IV) that directly analyse or critique the Dalai Lama in depth. What is on the public record is:

a light-hearted line from Aga Khan IV in a 2014 address that mentions the Dalai Lama by name in a joking way; and

multiple pieces of evidence that both the Dalai Lama and members of the Aga Khan family (notably Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, a different member of the family who served at the UNHCR) have appeared in similar public and interfaith circles and that the two traditions are often compared in media and public commentary. 

Key evidence

1. Aga Khan IV’s parliamentary address (2014) — in an address to the Canadian Parliament (text of his speech), Aga Khan IV makes a humorous aside saying, “I am convinced that the Dalai Lama and I would have been a formidable defence.” This shows familiarity and a friendly, collegial tone when invoking the Dalai Lama. 

2. Dalai Lama’s official “dignitaries met” lists — the Dalai Lama’s website records meetings with Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan (the former UN High Commissioner for Refugees) in the 1970s/1980s. That indicates historical contact between the Dalai Lama and members of the Aga Khan family, although Prince Sadruddin is not the same person as Aga Khan IV (Karim Aga Khan). Be careful not to conflate them. 

3. Public perception & media comparisons — reputable press commentary and profiles frequently place Aga Khan and the Dalai Lama in the same category of global spiritual/cultural leaders (comparisons noting their symbolic, supranational leadership roles). These are comparisons in tone and function rather than direct statements from Aga Khan about the Dalai Lama. 

4. Shared emphasis on interfaith dialogue — both His Highness (Aga Khan IV) and the Dalai Lama are strongly associated with interfaith engagement, pluralism and compassion in public speeches and events. Aga Khan IV’s public addresses frequently stress pluralism and working across faiths; the Dalai Lama’s public material stresses interfaith cooperation as well. Those shared emphases make friendly mutual regard plausible even when a direct statement is absent. 

What this means

Direct, formal statements by Aga Khan IV about the Dalai Lama are scarce in public archives and press.

The available material suggests no hostility and a likely respectful attitude: Aga Khan IV speaks often about pluralism, interfaith respect, and global ethical leadership — values closely aligned with how the Dalai Lama is publicly understood. The 2014 quip shows a personal, friendly tone when mentioning him.

🌺 نتیجہ

دلائی لامہ کی رینکارنیشن بدھ مت کے روحانی تسلسل، اخلاقی ارتقاء اور انسانی خدمت کے عزم کی علامت ہے۔
یہ روایت ہمیں یہ سبق دیتی ہے کہ حقیقی قیادت اقتدار یا منصب سے نہیں بلکہ روح، علم اور خدمت کے جذبے سے پیدا ہوتی ہے۔
ہر دلائی لامہ گویا ایک نیا جسم لیے پرانی روشنی بن کر آتا ہے —
تاکہ انسانیت کو امن، دانائی اور ہمدردی کا راستہ دکھاتا رہے۔

Climate Change & Glacial Melting: A Threat to Hunza’s Future

Hunza, often celebrated as a paradise on earth, is facing an unprecedented threat — one that comes not from human conflict but from the changing climate. The serene valleys, the mighty glaciers, and the rivers that sustain life here are now under severe stress. Climate change, particularly in the form of accelerated glacial melting, poses a direct challenge to Hunza’s environment, economy, and the future of its people.

---

🧊 The Reality of Glacial Retreat

The Karakoram, Hindu Kush, and Himalayan ranges surrounding Hunza are home to some of the largest glaciers outside the polar regions. These glaciers — including Passu, Batura, and Hopper — act as natural reservoirs, releasing fresh water slowly and steadily throughout the year.

However, scientific studies have revealed alarming trends:

• Rapid Glacial Melting: Rising global temperatures have accelerated ice melt, causing many glaciers to retreat faster than they can replenish.
• Glacial Lake Formation: As glaciers melt, large glacial lakes form behind fragile natural dams of ice and debris.
• Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs): When these dams break, they unleash massive floods that devastate downstream communities, farmlands, and infrastructure — something Hunza has already experienced in Attabad (2010) and Shisper (2018-2019).

---

🌱 Impact on Agriculture & Livelihoods

Agriculture in Hunza relies almost entirely on glacier-fed irrigation channels. If glaciers disappear or melt too rapidly, water supply becomes unpredictable.

• Short Term: Sudden floods damage fields, irrigation channels, and roads.
• Long Term: Water scarcity during the growing season threatens food security and the economy.

This unpredictability disrupts centuries-old farming practices, forcing communities to adapt quickly — sometimes by migrating to safer areas.

---

🏠 Threats to Settlements & Infrastructure

With glaciers retreating and permafrost thawing, mountain slopes become unstable, increasing the frequency of landslides. This is a major concern for settlements like Hassanabad, Passu, and Gulmit. Critical infrastructure — the Karakoram Highway, bridges, and hydropower plants — faces constant risk, leading to repeated economic losses and isolation of remote valleys.

---

🌏 A Global Problem, A Local Burden

Although Hunza contributes very little to global greenhouse gas emissions, it bears a disproportionate share of the impact. This situation highlights the urgent need for:

• Global Climate Action: Reduction of emissions worldwide to limit temperature rise.
• Regional Cooperation: Data sharing, early warning systems, and disaster preparedness among Pakistan, China, and neighboring countries.
• Local Adaptation: Community-led initiatives to build resilience, such as glacial lake monitoring, water storage systems, and sustainable land use practices.

---

💡 The Way Forward

The people of Hunza have a long history of resilience. By combining traditional knowledge with modern science, they can prepare for a more sustainable future. Key steps include:

• Expanding early warning systems for floods and landslides.
• Building climate-resilient infrastructure along critical routes like the Karakoram Highway.
• Encouraging research and youth-led innovation on climate adaptation.
• Promoting awareness campaigns to engage communities in climate action.

---

🌄 Conclusion

Climate change and glacial melting are no longer distant concerns for Hunza — they are here, reshaping the valley and its future. Protecting Hunza’s natural heritage requires collective action from local communities, policymakers, scientists, and the global community. If we act now, Hunza can continue to inspire the world as a living example of harmony between nature and humanity.

Hunza Reservists in the Gilgit Scouts (1913–1947)

The Gilgit Scouts, raised in 1913, are remembered as one of the most significant frontier forces of British India. But their legacy cannot be understood without acknowledging the indispensable contribution of Hunza men—both regulars and reservists—who defended the northernmost borders of the subcontinent in one of the most turbulent eras of global politics.

---

The Geopolitical Backdrop: The “Great Game”

By the late 19th and early 20th century, Central Asia was the chessboard of imperial rivalry between the Russian Empire and the British Raj. Russia’s advances into Central Asia and its presence in the Pamirs threatened to spill southwards. The British, anxious about India’s security, established the Gilgit Agency in 1877 (re-established in 1889 after a brief withdrawal).

Hunza, perched on the high Karakoram, held special significance:

• Its passes (Mintaka, Kilik, Khunjerab, Shimshal) connected directly to Chinese Turkestan (Xinjiang).
• The Hunza Mir, through tradition and loyalty, maintained flexible ties with both British India and China, making Hunza a frontier of diplomacy as much as defense.
• The hardy Hunzakuts, accustomed to high-altitude survival, became the natural choice for recruitment.

---

Formation of the Gilgit Scouts (1913)

When Colonel John Biddulph Kelly raised the Gilgit Scouts in August 1913, the force replaced unreliable tribal levies with a disciplined, semi-regular corps. It consisted of around 656 men organized into companies drawn from Hunza, Nagar, Punial, Yasin, and Ishkoman.

The Mir of Hunza cooperated actively with the British, ensuring steady recruitment from his principality. Hunza men were often regarded as the most reliable of the Scouts, combining agility in mountain warfare with deep loyalty to their ruler.

---

The Hunza Reservist System: A Unique Military Model

While some Hunza men served as permanent Scouts, many were enrolled as reservists. This system was innovative:

• Household Contribution: Each household in Hunza was expected to provide at least one able-bodied man for military service.
• Training & Arms: Reservists underwent periodic training and kept their rifles and kit ready at home.
• Dual Role: They lived civilian lives as farmers, herders, and traders, yet could be mobilized instantly for emergencies.
• Community Integration: This arrangement ensured every family had a stake in frontier defense, blending military readiness with social cohesion.

---

Strategic Frontier Duties

Hunza reservists were deployed in some of the most challenging environments:

• Pass Guardians: Patrolling Khunjerab, Shimshal, Darkot, and Mustagh passes.
• Escort Services: Providing protection for British explorers, officers, and surveyors venturing into the Pamirs and Wakhan.
• Supply & Communication Lines: Carrying loads across glaciers and mountains, ensuring the mobility of the Scouts.
• Cross-Border Vigilance: Keeping watch over movements of traders, pilgrims, or suspected Russian and German agents during wartime.

---

The Gilgit Scouts in World War I

During the First World War (1914–1918), the Gilgit Scouts played a critical role despite not being deployed in overseas battles. The northern frontier became a silent battlefield of the Great Game, where espionage and propaganda replaced open conflict.

• Surveillance: The Scouts closely monitored suspected Ottoman and German agents trying to stir anti-British sentiments in Central Asia.
• Coordination: They worked with the British Consulate in Kashgar (Xinjiang) to exchange intelligence.
• Defense-in-Depth: Outposts stretched from Gilgit to the Chinese frontier, with Hunza reservists forming the backbone of forward patrols.

Although their efforts rarely made headlines, their vigilance ensured the northern approaches into India remained sealed at a time when global empires were collapsing.

---

Subsidies and Political Bargains

In recognition of Hunza’s role, the British provided annual subsidies to the Mir of Hunza. This financial support reinforced the Mir’s authority, kept Hunza loyal to the Raj, and acknowledged the importance of its people in the defense of the empire’s most remote frontier.

---

Transition and 1947: Defining Moments

By 1947, as the British prepared to withdraw from India, the Gilgit Scouts—staffed heavily by Hunza men—found themselves at the heart of history.

• On 1 November 1947, they revolted against the Dogra governor, Brigadier Ghansara Singh, bringing an end to Dogra rule in Gilgit.
• Hunza reservists and Scouts stood side by side in the bloodless coup that secured the region’s accession to Pakistan.
• The tradition of loyalty and discipline they had nurtured since 1913 now shaped the destiny of the entire Gilgit-Baltistan region.

---

Conclusion

The service of Hunza men as reservists in the Gilgit Scouts was not merely a military arrangement—it was a political contract, a social obligation, and a legacy of frontier resilience.

It linked Hunza to the larger currents of global geopolitics, integrated its people into statecraft, and positioned the valley as a decisive actor in the turbulent transition from empire to nationhood.

Hunza reservists remain a reminder that even in the most remote corners of the Karakoram, ordinary mountain men shaped the grand strategies of empires and the birth of new nations.

Women’s Education in Hunza: A Century of Transformation

A century ago, women in Hunza rarely had access to formal education. Social norms confined them to household responsibilities, and opportunities for learning were minimal.

The arrival of DJ schools in 1946 supported by the Imam of the time and implemented by the community leaders followed establishment of first DJ Girls school in Baltit (now Karimabad) in early 60's with six girl students. Later the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) transformed the landscape. By the mid-20th century, Hunza witnessed a quiet revolution: girls began attending school alongside boys. Literacy rates climbed, and with education came empowerment.

Today, Hunza is often cited as a model for women’s education in Pakistan. Women serve as teachers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. The social fabric has changed dramatically, with women’s voices shaping decision-making at both household and community levels.

This progress is not without challenges — limited job opportunities, cultural resistance in some pockets, and the pressures of modernization. Yet, the commitment to women’s education remains unwavering.

As H.H. Aga Khan IV has said:

“The empowerment of women is not only a matter of social justice but also of economic necessity. Where women are empowered, societies flourish.”

Hunza’s journey proves that when a society invests in the education of its daughters, it invests in its future.

Hunza’s Journey from Isolation to Global Recognition

For centuries, Hunza remained a remote mountain principality, cut off from much of the world. Its geography, though breathtaking, limited communication and development. Villagers relied on subsistence farming, barter, and strong communal ties for survival.

The 19th and 20th century, however, marked a turning point. The establishment of Gilgit Agency and 1891 British adventure proved as a starting point. Establishment of Diamond Jubilee Schools in 1946 introduced education to each village. The construction of the Karakoram Highway in the 1970's linked Hunza to Pakistan and China, opening pathways for trade, tourism, and education. Literacy soared, with Hunza emerging as one of Pakistan’s most educated regions. Women, once confined largely to domestic life, began to play an active role in schools, health care, and entrepreneurship.

Today, Hunza is celebrated internationally — not just for its majestic mountains and glaciers, but also for its progressive outlook. The people’s emphasis on education, gender equity, and community-based development offers lessons for other regions. See proposed ROAD-MAP.

Yet, challenges remain: environmental threats from climate change, cultural erosion, and the risks of over-commercialized tourism. The journey from isolation to recognition is remarkable, but the path ahead requires balancing tradition with modernity. See proposed ROAD-MAP.

“My wish for my Jamat is that they should balance their worldly life with their spiritual life. If they do so, they will progress in both.” — H.H. Aga Khan IV.
