The Strategic Importance of Gilgit Baltistan
The region derives its strategic importance from a number of factors-
both natural and man-made and are a mix of: its complex history,
geographical features and the stakes that several important nations have
or are likely to acquire in the region. Some of the prominent strategic
features of Gilgit Baltistan are discussed below:
Geographical location: Surrounded by world’s high mountain ranges
including the Himalayas and the Karakorams, Gilgit Baltistan is located
in a geographically strategic zone. It shares borders with: the Wakhan
Corridor of Afghanistan to the north-west; China’s Xinjiang to the
north-east; J&K to the south and south-east; the ‘AJK’ to the south;
and Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the west. Hence, Gilgit Baltistan
figures predominantly in the strategic calculus of India, Pakistan,
Afghanistan and China. More recently, due to its proximity to the
Afghanistan border and the Chinese engagement, Gilgit Baltistan has
also assumed significance in the geopolitical calculations of the United States..

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Gilgit Baltistan was originally known as Balwaristan or Boloristan. It
was part of the erstwhile princely state of J&K. Due to its strategic
location and proximity to erstwhile USSR and China, it was sometimes
also referred to as the Northern Frontier. The British, while ruling India,
took an active interest in the region because of its proximity to the
Russian empire, their arch imperial rival. Based on strategic calculations,
the British urged Hari Singh, the Maharaja of Kashmir, to hand over
the responsibility of securing the Northern Frontier to British forces.
The Maharaja had no problem with the British proposal as the lease
only implied the transfer of civil and military administration while the
territory continued to be part of his dominion.8
Subsequently, the wazarat
of the Gilgit province since was on the right bank of the River Indus,
was also put under the charge of the Viceroy and Governor General
of India. The lease came into force on April 1, 1935 for a period of 60 years.
