LOCATION OF G.B

Before the independence of Pakistan and the partition of India in 1947, Maharaja Hari Singh extended his rule to Gilgit and Baltistan. The Gilgit agency was leased by the Maharaja to British Government. Baltistan was a western district of Ladakh province which was annexed by Pakistan in 1948.

HISTORY OF G.B

 In 1963, Pakistan ceded the Shaksgam Valley of Baltistan region to the China. This ceded area is also known as the Trans-Karakoram Tract.

Immediately after the end of British rule in the sub-continent in 1947, the people of this region decided to join Pakistan through a popular local revolt against the government of Maharaja of Kashmir.
