	Towards a Sociolinguistic Profile of the Khowar Language
		Khowar is also spoken in western Gilgit Agency, in Yasin and in the Ghizar River Valley from the area of Gupis west to Shandur Pass, and in the Ushu Valley of Kalam (primarily in the village of Mathiltan) in Swat District of the N.W.F.P. (Stahl, 1988:40) (see Map 2 and 4).
		In Gilgit Agency the languages to test would be Shina and Urdu and, perhaps, Werchikwar (the dialect of Burushaski spoken by the indigenous population of Yasin).
		Emily Lorimer writes that her husband D. Lorimer "collected texts, notes, vocabulary, and all the data for a scientific grammar (in Yasin, Gilgit Agency) to supplement his considerable material from Chitral, noting how very trivial were the differences between the two varieties of Khowar" (Lorimer, 1939:19).

	A CHINESE EXPEDITION ACROSS THE PAMIRS AND HINDUKUSH, A.D.747.(1)
		Rope bridges of this kind across the Gilgit river near the debouchure of the Yasin valley were the only permanent means of access to the latter frrrom the south, until the wire suspension bridge near the present fort of was built in recent years.
		At the head of the latter the Irshad pass gives access to the Lupsuk valley already mentioned, and down this Karwan-balasi is gained on the Ab-i-Panja.(30) All three passes are high, close on or over 16,000 feet, but clear of ice and comparatively easy to cross in the summer or early autumn.
		I also surmised that the Chinese general, apart from the confidence aroused by the successful river crossing, owed his victory mainly to a flanking movement by which his troops gained the heights, And thus successfully turned the fortified line behind which the Tibetans were awaiting them.

	Whose agent is this Malik
		It is long time that we have tolerated the double agents trying to sell the graveyards of the innocent people of Kashmir in the name of Azadi or whatever it is. Yasin Malik was brought out of Agra jail where he was on smokes diet.

	GILGIT - LoveToKnow Article on GILGIT
		Gilgit is also the headquarters of a British political agent, who exercises some supervision over the wazir, and is directly responsible to the government of India for the administration of the outlying districts or petty states of Hunza, Nagar, Ashkuman, Yasin and Ghizar, the little republic of Chilas, andc.
		The Dard, however, is unknown beyond the limits of the Kohistan district of the Indus valley to the south of the Hindu Koh, the rest of the inhabitants of the Indus valley belonging to Shin republics, or Chilas.
		But the ethnography of Dardistan, or the Gilgit agency (for the two are, roughly speaking, synonymous), requires further investigation, and it would be premature to attempt to frame anything like an ethnographical history of these regions until the neighboring provinces of Tangir and Darel have been more fully examined.

		Fifty years ago, the 6000 Palestinian inhabitants of the town of Beisan, in the Jordan Valley, were displaced by Zionist Jews.
		Some of the Palestinians fled in terror having heard what the Zionists had done a few weeks before in the village of Deir Yasin, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, when dozens of innocent men, women, and children were massacred.
		Beisan has come to encapsulate for me the tragedy of Palestine when three quarter of a million Palestinians either fled in fright or were driven out by force to make room for the creation of the state of Israel.
