The document provides a history of the Gilgit Baltistan region. It discusses how the area was divided into several principalities and republics before the British invasion in 1840. It then summarizes how the Sikhs and Dogras attacked and occupied parts of the region between 1840-1890. In 1891-92, the British Indian Army conquered the remaining areas, bringing the whole region under British rule. The people of Gilgit-Baltistan gained freedom from the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir through their own revolution on November 1, 1947 and established their own state, later joining Pakistan.
