Hunza State

Hunza, also known as Kanjut, was a Burusho princely state in the present-day Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan. Although under the suzerainty of the Jammu and Kashmir, it was not a part of it and had status of a separate state. Initially, it functioned as a principality and subsequently became a princely state under a subsidiary alliance with the British India starting in 1892 and continuing until August 1947. For a brief period of three months, it remained unaligned after gaining independence, and then from November 1947 until 1974, it retained its status as a princely state within Pakistan.
