History

Main article: Nagar (princely state)

Following the Hunza-Nagar Campaign of 1889–1892 (known locally as the Anglo-Burusho war) the area came under British control and then became a vassal of the Kashmir durbar but continued to be ruled by the royal family of Nagar. In 1974, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto dissolved the princely states of Nagar and Hunza and gave them democratic representation in the Northern Areas Council, now known as the Gilgit-Baltistan Legislative Assembly. The British wanted to expand trade with Russia from both Nagar and Hunza, but the states would not permit them to do so.
