The Seven Rulers of Bagrot Valley
Description
In the gracious name of Allah Almighty, I am grateful to you that you approached me for this session about my area, the Bagrot Valley, and I would certainly like to tell you a little on the history of this area.
As you know, Bagrot is one of the oldest valleys of Gilgit Baltistan along with others like Chilas, Darel, Naupur, and Barmas Valleys. A foreigner named Giriger, lend his name to the glacier, later the local population changed this name to Gilgit. Sanskirit is the real Shina language to which we have currently added multiple terminologies from different languages like Arabic, Persian, and Urdu alterating today's idiom from the authentic Shina lan-guage.
In old times there were seven rulers known as rajas in our area who governed its different parts with their [respective] boundaries. Whenever necessary the seven rulers would meet and discuss matters of importance for our area. Bagrot was such a powerful destination that its rulers along with their important ministers would stay multiple days in the meadows near to Bagrot Glacier. The first ruler, locally known as Shiri Badat, was also from Bagrot. His son Bagardo later went to Baltistan and ruled there.
