The Road That Made Kargil Muslim | Why It Was Cut in 1947 Description: Kargil sits high in the Himalayas, surrounded by a deep Buddhist past, yet most of its people are Muslim. How did that happen? In this video we trace the story of Kargil in Ladakh and how Islam reached this snowbound valley. You will discover how Silk Road caravans linked Kashmir, Ladakh, Baltistan and Central Asia, how Sufi preachers and craftsmen travelling from Kashmir, such as the followers of Mir Syed Ali Hamadani and Mir Shamsuddin Iraqi, are said to have brought the faith along these routes, and why the change came slowly, over generations, through trade, skills, marriage and good character rather than a single event. We also see why Kargil and Leh took different paths, and how the closing of the old road to Skardu after 1947 cut a living route. Stay till the end for the full answer.
