Life in Hunza (1937)

[ultar77]

Whatever our origin is that is not as important at this point as much as where we are headed. I hear from family and friends that people have lost the true values and culture that we were known for. I mean being hard working, caring, humble and people with humility. It hurts me when I hear about our elders even, not just the youngsters worrying about their cellphone battery instead of realizing what predicament they are in. Worst of all local guys making liquor and distributing it. They have..

[ultar77]

I hope and pray the recent land sliding and devastation in our dear homeland is contained soon. I feel all of the yougsters and the population as a whole have to get together and try to help better the situation. Dont rely on a govenrment that is corrupt and insensitive to our region and people. We need to get back to our roots and not be distracted by the vulnerabilities of the modern era.

Thanks for posting this historic moment. I grew in similar environment except the wine part. At least some good part of Brits in India.

Love Hunza been in that part of Pakistan and its really a heaven........

[hunzukutz]

First of all we are Pakistanis, when you hold a Pakistani Passport and Pakistani ID Card that makes you a Pakistani. You are talking about we have nothing in common with the rest of Pakistan I am not sure if that is entirely true. Everything we use in Hunza comes from all these places you think you are not part of. I am proud to be a hunzukutz and a Pakistani. There are element in every society those are bad but that doesn't make all Pathans and Punjabis bad. We are not Macedonian but Pakistanis

.....and the hard work of the people Bravo to our great ancestors,making the uninhabitable land fertile, with the most natrually growing fruits, abundant and rich in flavour. In recent times we are grateful and blessed by our spiritual Imam leading us and investing time and resources.

Up until even the late 70's Hunza was cut off from the rest of the world and travel to and out was restricted. I hope we can safeguard our true identity and preserve cultural monuments.

I am a Canadian, from Hunza origin. This video is truley priceless for Hunzukutz globally as they can learn and know their true and unique heritage. For decades foreigners have been intrigued by this remote part of the world. Most notably Alexander,Marco Polo, James Hilton. They believed that the fountain of youth and the Garden of Eden existed within these mighty mountain ranges in the form of clusters of valleys. Nothing is sunstantiated, but the valley being 7000 ft above sea level

That is really superb! I wanna know that do you have the same kind of "Teaching Films" on another culture, traditions, and area of the present pakistan??? If you have then we are anxiously waiting and hope to be uploaded soon.

[shahzadkhan007]

yah, it really is superb. The man who took the camera to such a remote place in 1937, must be a very very rich man. Who could imagine camera and especially a private one in those days.

Wow, I can't believe that someone could get to such a remote place in Pakistan with a camera in that time.

I was excited to see what they saw in 1937. Alas no one in this video would be here with us!

Thanks for uploading my friend.

Can you please upload more such videos about Pakistan Northern areas, if you have?

[balteers]

thanks BFIfilms showing this vid, LONG LIVE HUNZA, LONG LIVE MACEDONIA, greetings for Macedonian brothers. we Hunzukutz have nothing in common with these punjabis and pathans of Pakistan who have destroyed our tourism sector in Hunza, cuz of bombings in our country.

We are proud of our forefathers where ever they came from,

[shahzadkhan007]

Brother say talibans not Pathans. I love the Northern Areas of Pakistan; I adore it.

You people are great !

Thankyou life in Hunza and gilget so many years ago is a pleasent surprise as i am a great admirer of these areas ,

these days there is a great debate of Greek and Mecedonien people sharing the origens of the inhabitents of Hunza ,Kalash ruled these areas long before the invading armies of Alexander .

Kalash 700 years ago were defeated by the upper chitral people and powerful alliance was kept between Chitral Gilget areas I hope people can enjoy these fresh Memories in search of ROOTS.
