Gilgit Baltistan's Independence Celebrations

62 years ago, in 1948... roughly one year after the independence of Pakistan, people of Gilgit Baltistan won their right to freedom from the Dogras and consented to be the part of Pakistan. In the process some great freedom fighter gave thier life like Col. Hassan who was the most prominent figure in the fight for Gilgit Baltistan's independence. People there feel the same energy today as thier ancestor's felt at that day 'the day of independence' and they celebrate to renew those memories.
Few days ago a celebration of that kind took place in PIDE (Social Huts). Asif Hussain, Hamid Hussain and their friends hosted the party. A beautiful cake with "62 independence Gilgit Baltistan" written on the face of it was cut. Students from all sections of PIDE were present and witnessed the celebration.
In the start Asif Hussain gave a short speech introducing students about the independence history of Gilgit Baltistan then the cake was cut...
These pictures will tell you the rest of the story!!!
