It was back in 1972 the late Mir, Muhammad Jamal Khan, the last ruler of the former Hunza State, has addressed a huge gathering in Gulmit (headquarters of Upper Hunza) during the occasion of an Eid gathering.It proved a landmark speech as after two years, the centuries old Hunza State was eliminated in 1974 and the political supremacy took its last breath as it used to play its pivotal role not only at its respective territorial level but rather also had its intimate influence at the level of its surrounding imperial powers.
Before the speech of Mir Jamal Khan in Burushaski in the audio recording, late master Sultan Ali Samarqand (a guru of teachers) presents the welcome speech in Urdu on behalf of the community of Gojal (upper Hunza).
, I’d like to note that the quality of the audio recording may not be of high quality as it was recorded in a cassette (48 years ago) by late Colonel Ayash Khan (the then Secretary of the Hunza State). I thus digitized the cassette after getting the recording on my digital voice recorder.
Second, there might have been some gaps in the translation of the Burushaski speech, I’d therefore like to apologize in advance (as it’s not my mother tongue)and would appreciate if someone from the native burushaski speakers deemed necessary could help facilitate if there has to be brought any enhancement (as for any literary venture, room for improvement always remains). However, I’m pretty sure and confident that the gist of the whole speech, at least, I’ve tried to present with the audience.
