Pamir Times is the pioneering community news and views portal of Gilgit – Baltistan, Kohistan, Chitral and the surrounding mountain areas. It is a voluntary, not-for-profit, non-partisan and independent venture initiated by the youth.
Of course this is a day to be remembered as independence is one of the most precious assets one can have. We salute the courage and bravery of our great heros of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Sultan Ahmed
Victoria
Azadi Mubarak to all
Independence Day Mubarak to each and every one in Gilgit – Baltistan!
Freedom being so precious an asset needs to be fully respected and protected.
The English version of a Wakhi saying about freedom aptly describes its value……..
“Even a sparrow loves it to be in the thorny bushes, than to be caged in a cozy environment”.

Well said Sir. I like the English version of Wakhi saying!!!

Good to hear you from Victoria, Sultan. Thanks for the compliment.
We do have many good Wakhi sayings, I believe; what we need is to share them with the fellow PT readers and preserve them for ever.
Would like to have a few from you, depending on relevance.
Whose Freedom?
Freedom, freedom, freedom!
Whose freedom?
My freedom, your freedom, our freedoms;
Like e thousand times of a cry in a land!
Yes, they rule with iron-hand but,
We have to obey always;
A rule with an iron fist but,
We have to be the subjects always;
Whose freedom?
Look around you,
It is full of colours;
My freedom, your freedom, their freedoms!
Freedom, freedom, freedom! ! !
We nedd freedom than these shackles.
Whose freedom?
Free-free-free! Freedom to my people! !
Which people?
My people, your people, our peoples;
Have mercy on them and rule them with care.
We need freedom around us,
Whose freedom?
See the type of governments around you;
The people’s freedom with an iron fist!
Tell me if all is well.
