Tricolour flies high in Turtuk

Deccan Chronicle  

One harsh wintry morning in December 1971, Ghulam Hussain left his home in Pharnu village in Pakistan along with his sheep to graze them across the hills in Thang village of Turtuk, which was then under Pakistan control. Hussain was caught in the crossfire of a fierce battle that broke out between the Indian and Pakistani armies on December 8, 1971 of that year, along with many others. Instead, they supported me, fed me, and I began aiding them in transportation of supplies," recalls Hussain, who shares a Thang village connection with his second wife and has six sons and a daughter. They reminisce about the good old days spent with family and friends and chant, “Indian Army should have captured the entire Baltistan so that our families would not have been separated,” many of whom have no choice but to remain in Pakistan-controlled Baltistan.
