Hunza

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.12 sec.

Hunza

Former princely state in northwest Kashmir; area 10,101 sq km/3,900 sq mi; capital Baltit (also known as Hunza). It recognized the sovereignty of the Maharajah of Jammu and Kashmir in 1869, combined with the state of Nagar across the River Hunza in 1888, and became part of the British Gilgit Agency in 1889. Since 1948 it has been administered by Pakistan.

Hunza and Nagar rebelled against the British when the Gilgit Agency was established. This led to the Hunza-Nagar expedition in 1891 under Col A Durand, the storming of Fort Nilt, and the subsequent occupation of the two states by British troops.
