The Legend of Seko Saparo

Narrated By Late Dadu Khan in July 2014, in Maiun. I grew up listening to folk stories from my grandparents and elder people in my family, and I was always fascinated by those stories. Among the many tales they told, the legend of Seko Saparo is one such tale you won’t find in any book. In the summer of 2014, during my vacation, I had the pleasure of spending time with my grandfather’s youngest brother, Late Dadu Khan. I would often sit with him and ask him to tell me stories, and he would gladly share them. He served in the army and worked as a teacher in the village.

Shari Badat - The Cannibal King of Gilgit Baltistan

Long ago, in the rugged mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan, there ruled a powerful Sheen king named Shari Badat . He was no ordinary king — his presence commanded fear, and his word was law. The people dared not disobey him, no matter how unreasonable his demands were. Every day, Shari Badat’s subjects were required to bring him a lamb for his meal.

The people followed this rule without question — after all, their king’s wrath was far more terrifying than any hardship they faced. A Mother's Sacrifice In a small village, there lived a poor woman who had only one sheep. That sheep was her only source of hope. One day, the sheep gave birth to a fragile lamb, but tragedy followed — the mother sheep died soon after. With no way to feed the newborn, the woman did something extraordinary — she nursed the lamb herself, feeding it with her own milk. Time passed, and the lamb grew strong under her care. But soon, th...

Mulberries and the tradition of Maroch Tick

Mulberries hold a special place in the heart of the GB communities, carrying deep historical significance. Every mountain person cherishes childhood memories connected to these luscious fruits. Before the introduction of cherries, mulberries were the first to ripen, typically in May/June. The ancient connection between Mulberries and the Harvest season has endured, and to this day, GBians joyfully celebrates the Maroch Tick festival, signifying the start of the mulberry harvest. In times gone by, when food was scarce in Hunza and other mountain regions until the 1980s, mulberries, along with other seasonal fruits, were vital sustenance for the people. Their longevity and strength can be attributed, in part, to the nourishing power of these fruits. Imagine the sight of hardworking individuals relishing mulberries or other seasonal delights during their midday meals, fueling them for their daily endeavors. The memories of childhood in Hunza are colored with the sweetness of mulberries, a...
