People of Hunza extremely disgusted to witness a party involving drugs and unchaste activities
To many of you out there, this post may sound mawkish but it is solely based on the emotions and values of People of Hunza (Hunzukutz).
There was a time back in history when our ancestors wouldn't leave the house without hailing the mother nature, without praising the glory of mighty peaks and glaciers housed in those peaks because people, by then, were aware of the bounties of nature and the sanctity associated with it. They deemed nature as sacrosanct.
Alas! This sanctity has been brutally soiled by the lecherous, savage and unbridled activities in the name of tourism.
People of Hunza are extremely disgusted to witness a party involving drugs and unchaste activities recently. If Hunzukutz are raving about this event, it is because they have been extremely offended and their values trampled. must not lead to label them as illiterate or savage. Yes! Being residents of this pristine land, we have been strongly demoralized. Those so called elites from down country must be chastised for disseminating squalid practices in the region. We are liberal, for majority of people are highly educated, does not make us a vulgar community to endorse immoral acts like these.
Tourists must learn the fact that this is a tourist destination doesn't make it Las Vegas or Brazil because we are a hard working people with very humble backgrounds so we seek education to ameliorate the standards. Young generation is ensured quality education by their parents in the region via different honest means of which tourism topples. The income generated by tourism is solely spent on the education of their children so I hail these parents than the parents of the so called spoiled brats observed in the party whose parents being big guns give a free hand to their children misusing their authorities, to defame and demoralize the values of an honest nation in a sacred place. Our values are ingrained in the morals and norms coming down from a generation of glory. Not even a child from the region could compromise on the set norms. So, it won't really matter to the people in the region, even if you are heir to the president, to throw you out of the region disgracing you without giving it a second thought.
With your so called parties in the region, you are corrupting our future generations crippling them forever, depriving them of the opportunities of making their lives better. If your parents are big guns, then off you go to places other than Gilgit-Baltistan to practice your drug abuse practices. If you want to visit the place and party then do so but without offending the values of locals and without those lascivious practices. We are famous for hospitality. People will endorse you with open arms if you visit the place with a demeanor deemed honest and fair.
Or if you are going to bring such practices along then we will never deter to bring about a bloodthirsty revolution to keep the sanctity of our land intact.
