Dear Readers of PT,
It is really a good initiative taken to compile the views and news related to the Giligt-Baltistan.
I would personally request for some actions reflecting the views and news of the region. Only views and news can not finally resolve the pending issues rather some action points must be made to devise a lay out for the different issues relating to economy and politics.
The step taken is indeed prospective and would bring about many changes but if is unbiased and free of any kind of favouritism.
We need such developmental initiatives to provoke the tranquility of minds and give them a spark to activate their suppressed genes for better causes.

Congratulations Zulfiqar and team
My Apprecaiations for all the comments but please go for making awrite up as maximum persons involve in different field.It will do contribute to the Journal but it will actually contribute for your career as making a zero 100 beause study every body does either weeping or sleeping but to go after some research activity and anylysing the issues and being in the field makes one sceintist thats all.We think and read about western Sceintist like Niel Bohr to Einstein,and think that they were some supernatural people,No way,they did one thing that was research,I dont want to pull all of you towards this subject but for agreat professional,research and writing is refreshing and reflecting all the thing he does and ais solution to all the illusions about the theories and things one has.I would also like to add that we love to give ideas very much on any issue,Believe me I will tell you that almost of them are mere speculations or just attributions.our society is based onj such attributions,we give opinion about others just on the basis of our very slight knowledge like walking somewhere in the moonlight in slleep.If we could get grip of knowledge of our whereabouts specially,geological,yoological,botanic as well as sociological knowlegde then we wil;l never need any American or Japanese professor to tell us about ourselvesy
Akmighty bless you the KKH TEEM

good initiative dear brothers but what will be roles of Brig (Rtd) Hasam and Dr khawaja if they have been taken onboard editorial board?
Janhangir
They are not in editorial board but contributed writeups for the first edition.
The advisory board includes Ghulam Ali, Ghulam Amin Beg and Farman Ali.
The KKH magazine should reflect a total sceintific appraoch rather some political aspects to it..I respect Brig.Rtd Hassam Sahab as Social activist as well as a pride for our area,but the journals actually is edited by the researchers and Research fellows in cerain field,of course if some military strategic kind of papers are accepted then Hassam Sahab may be on board,but it will also depend on his previous research experience in his field.
Being a Brigadier ,Medical Doctor or a great politician doesnt always mean a researcher or academician.I think if KKH must not forget including the PHD doctors like Dr. Saleem of Chilas,Dr.Jan of Hunza,Dr Gohar of Nagar and Dr Manzoor Ali of KIU and researchers like Fezel Amin Baig and Farman Ali and Ghulam Ali is quit justifiable.
Its just asugesstion to bring the journal to optimum Seintific standards,although it may have its own indepedent policy.
