Abstract

Gilgit-Baltistan offers an example of unequal constitutional rights covering Pakistani citizens in the context of its polity. Pakistan has continued to control and govern Gilgit-Baltistan from the capital in Islamabad because this strategy allows the federal government to incorporate the area into Pakistan without giving full provincial status. To assess Gilgit-Baltistanâs constitutional position within Pakistan it is necessary to recapitulate some vital aspects of the Kashmir issue and the process of constitutional incorporation. Urgent demands for greater autonomy by the people of Gilgit-Baltistan regularly challenge the central governmentâs willingness and ability to first solve the Kashmir dispute with India. The divergent interests of Gilgit-Baltistan and the central government shed light on the outcomes and promises made by different governments of Pakistan. The struggle for equal participation and adequate representation of Gilgit-Baltistan and its status reflects the negotiations for sharing public resources and civil rights. The disputes about districts and divisions, posts and positions, names and denominations are visible signs of a tenacious process with little progress made so far.
