Ali that was for philosophy, who is probably from Kashmir, as her mother tongue is Kashmiri :)

BTW, why Garhi Dupatta is called so? Whose Dupatta made it important?

This again Mirpur (from AJK again).

MirpurAzad Kashmir travel and hotels information

Mirpur is the largest city in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, (AJK Independet Jamun & Kashmir). Mirpur is located at the extreme south of Azad Kashmir at an elevation of 459 metres (1509ft). It is 161 kilometre’s (100 miles) south east of Islamabad via the Grand Trunk (GT) Road and 295 kilometre’s (183 miles) south of Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Mirpur is said to be founded in 1052 AH (After Hijri) (around 1642 AD) by a Gakhar chief named Miran Shah Ghazi. However the area now comprising Mirpur district has been historically associated with Pothohar region. Around end of 18th century, Gakhar power in Pothohar had declined. Mirpur had become part of Chibb ruled state of Khari Khariyali with capital at Mangla Fort. With the rise of Sikh power in Punjab, Maharaja Ranjit Singh established his supremacy and set his eyes on the chibh states of Bhimber and Khari Khariyali. In 1810, a force was sent against Raja Sultan Khan of Bhimber and was met with fierce resistance. However, in 1812 another Sikh army under prince Kharak Singh defeated Sultan Khan and the Bhimber state was annexed as Jagir on Kharak Singh. Around the same time, Ranjit Singh acquired Gujrat and invaded Khari Khariyali ruled by Raja Umar Khan. Raja Umar Khan made peace with Ranjit Singh. But before a settlement could be made, he died and Ranjit Singh confiscated the state and Mirpur became part of Ranjit Singh’s territories.

In 1816, Ranjit Singh annexed Jammu state and in 1820 awarded Jammu to his commander Gulab Singh who hailed from Jammu and was under the service of Ranjit Singh for the past eight years. Between 1831-39 Ranjit Singh bestowed on Gulab Singh the royalty of the salt mines in northern Punjab, and the northern Punjab towns including Bhera, Jhelum, Rohtas, Mirpur and Gujrat. Gulab Singh kept on expanding his kingdom and in 1840 Baltistan was made subject to Jammu and Gilgit fell to a Sikh force from Kashmir in 1842. The state of Kashmir was annexed by Ranjit Singh in 1819. However the rebellion in Hazara in the beginning of 1846, compelled the country to be transferred to Raja Gulab Singh of Jammu as well.

As an aftermath of the First Anglo-Sikh War and the Treaty of Lahore, The Treaty of Amritsar was signed between the British Government and Raja Gulab Singh of Jammu on March 16, 1846. This treaty transferred him all the hill states between Ravi and Indus. The transfer included Kashmir Valley, Hazara and the southern hill states (including former Khari Khariyali). Thus sealing the fate of Mirpur with the new state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Re: Historical Places of the Subcontinent

I seriously want to know whats the reason behind the name of Garhi Dupatta?

There is a place near Muzaffarabad called ‘Itr Sheesha’.. I read story behind this place’s name in Dr Sher Shah Syed’s Book ‘Kon Dilan Dia Jane’ - a book about life stories of women suffering from fistula..

It has been mentioned that centuries ago, a caravan was traveling in a valley near Muzaffarabad. After passing night at a place, when they caravan moved, they found that the mirror (sheesh) and itr bottle (perfume bottle) of the leader’s daugther was missing. The leader of the caravan sent his men to bring these things. After this event, the place became famous with the name of ‘Itr Sheesha’.

Pakistani Abul Haul - Pakistani Sphinx

The huge man made Sphinx in Giza, Egypt is viewed by countless tourists from across the globe with awe and praise for those who made it. But there is one natural feature in the remote area in the Makran coastal region of the Balochistan province of Pakistan that resembles much the same as the Egyptian Sphinx.

Due to the construction of the Coastal Highway, which is a man-made wonder of its own kind, the area has attracted many visitors and tourists who come to see this feature. The Sphinx like feature is located near the Buzi Pass right on the Makran Coastal Highway, some 250 kilometres away from Karachi.
