Short brief history of Battagram district of KPK (Pakistan)
Battagram is a district in the KPK province of Pakistan.
In the 2nd century CE, a mythical Hindu king Raja Risalu, son of Raja Salbahan of Sialkot.
brought the area under his control. The local people consider him as
their hero and, even today, parents tell their children the stories of Raja Risalu and his wife Rani Konklan on winter nights. When a Chinese pilgrim, Hiun- Tsang visited this area, it was under the control of Durlabhavadhana, the ruler of Kashmir.
In 997 CE,Sultan Mehmud Ghaznavi, took over the Ghaznavid dynasty empire established by his father, Sultan Sebuktegin In 1005 he conquered the Shahis in Kabul in 1005, and followed it by the conquests of northern Khyber Pakhtunkhawa. The Delhi Sultanate and later Mughal Empire ruled the region. The Punjab region became predominantly Muslim due to Missionary Sufi saints whose Dargahs dot the landscape of KPK.
After end of Durranis, the battagram came under Sikh rule. After the decline of theMughal Empire, the Sikh invaded and occupied Battagram District. The Muslims faced severe
restrictions during the Sikh rule. Sikh rule came to an end in 1818.
Almost at the same time the entire Hazara, including Battagram came
under British rule. The predominantly Muslim population supported Muslim League and Pakistan Movement. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the minority Hindus and Sikhs migrated to India while the Muslim refugees from India settled in the Battagram District.
