HAZARA DIVISION

INTRODUCTION Heritage Foundation, established in 1980, is a not-for-profit, social and cultural entrepreneur organization engaged in research, publication and conservation of Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural heritage. It has been instrumental in saving a large number of heritage treasures in the country. It has also published several monographs, heritage guides and training manuals related to history and conservation aspects. Since 2000 its community and youth outreach arm, KaravanPakistan (earlier KaravanKarachi) has worked towards heritage safeguarding all over Pakistan by involving thousands of school children, young people and communities. Since November 2005, Heritage Foundation has been active in the Earthquake affected areas. It helped build over 1150 emergency phase vernacular housing units (KaravanGhar). It has also been engaged in community development through support from its partners, Nokia, Nokia Siemens Network and PSO. The construction of 3 schools, 1 health centre, a heritage museum, 137 household toilets and 50 kitchens along with livelihood programme for women have helped in creation of social and cultural infrastructure in UC Sachan Kalan and UC Devli Jabbar. The establishment of KaravanPakistan Institute for Research and Training (KIRAT) at HF Base Camp, Chattar Plain, Mansehra, was carried out with a view to conduct further research in varied fields for the benefit of the affected communities. In May 2009, with support from Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA), HF established Heritage Preservation Centre (HPC) at the KIRAT Campus, HF Base Camp. The HPC has been engaged in developing detailed information regarding heritage assets affected by the earthquake. The preparation of a catalogue, based on extensive field work has brought to light over 175 heritage structures. The unique heritage treasures found in Hazara and AJK are expected to form the basis of extensive cultural tourism in the area. In addition, a large number of Condition Survey Reports (CSRs) have been compiled on

a specific format, in order to provide documentation of the present condition of heritage structures falling under ERRA strategy and other vulnerable assets. The information has been developed in order to provide a basis for detailed structural proposals and contract documents for conserving and retrofitting heritage structures. The proposed use of local techniques and materials in conserving heritage buildings will help in generating livelihoods for local artisans, thus fulfilling national objectives of energizing local economies and poverty alleviation. The present document comprises the Catalogue of Heritage Assets and incorporates all significant heritage structures and natural heritage in Hazara. Several of the identified structures have received approval for funding from ERRA. However, for a large number of significant heritage structures that fall outside ERRA strategy, Heritage Buildings Condition Summaries (HBCS) have been prepared to raise donor interest for saving them from destruction. The above documents are a result of many months of dedicated effort by teams comprising architects and students. The extensive field work has brought to fore rich and varied architectural heritage that has survived the massive earthquake of 2005 and, even if in any way damaged, can be conserved and restored. Appreciation is due to ERRA, for agreeing to halt demolition of heritage buildings and providing allocation for retrofitting and conservation for almost 20 heritage structures. This timely decision, on request of CE, Heritage Foundation, has been instrumental in saving a large number of historic buildings, which would otherwise have been demolished. In carrying out the work, we acknowledge the continued support of various officials of ERRA; the District Administration and Forest Department of Abbottabad & Mansehra Districts.

HAZARA DIVISION HISTORY

HAZARA DIVISION

Of great cultural significance, the area accommodates the remains of the ancient kingdoms of Gandhara that are found in the entire northern part of the Province. In Hazara, however, among the most important finds so far is the famous Gandhara rock inscriptions in Mansehra carrying the famous Kharoshthi script.

In March 1849, the Frontier territory was annexed by the British, as part of Runjit Singh’s empire. For some years some districts of the present NWFP Province, which included Peshawar, Kohat and Hazara, were directly administered by the Board of Administration set up to govern the Punjab, which was headed by Henry Lawrence. In 1850, several districts, including Hazara, were declared a separate Division under a Commissioner. The internal administration at the time was similar to the one in the Punjab.

The Imperial Gazetteer considers origins of Hazara to be obscure, identifying it with Abisara, the country of mountaineers at the time of Alexander’s invasion. Indologists equate it with ancient Urasa, while others believe it is derived from Hazara nation that lived in Hazarajath in Afghanistan, who came to the region with the conquering armies of Amir Temur. During the Mughal rule the region formed part of Attock governorship, and was later controlled by the Afghan invader Ahmad Shah Durrani. Although Ranjit Singh annexed Hazara in 1818, it was not entirely subjugated until 1836, when the mountain warriors were subdued by Sardar Hari Singh, the Sikh governor of Kashmir after whom the town of Haripur is named. The next years were turbulent years for Hazara until 1845 when, after the First Anglo-Sikh War the area, along with Kashmir, was handed over to Raja Gulab Singh. However, only after a year, in “exchange for land near Jammu,” the Raja handed Hazara back to the Sikh Darbar at Lahore. Major Abbott was now sent by the British government to subdue the mountain tribes. During the Second Anglo-Sikh War, Abbott is credited with having “maintained his position single-handed in the hills, cut off by the Sikh army from all assistance.” It appears that no appreciable resistance to the British rule was shown during the First War of Independence in 1857, but the area remained a source of concern to the British authorities. The Imperial Gazetteer recorded: “Since 1857, the Black Mountain has been the only focus of disturbance, but the expeditions of 1868, 1888, 1891 and 1892 seem to have effectively quieted the country.”

The Great Game that had begun during early 19th century, compelled the British to gain control over the entire strategic border areas to control the influence of rival European powers, particularly the Czarist Russia. The Treaty of Gandamak in May 1879, defined the limits of British controlled border area, subsequent to which the Durand Line was determined. During this time, the local warring tribes refused to be subjugated and the British had to mount several expeditions to ensure the latter’s sovereignty over the tribal belt. Among them was the Black Mountains (Kala Dhaka) expedition of 1868, mentioned above, when a British force of 15,000 men confronted the “audacious provocation” of a stubborn “enemy,” but without success in gaining “permanence of the results,” since several other “expeditions” had to be mounted. A separate province styled North West Frontier Province (NWFP) was created in 1901 and was governed by the ‘Chief Commissioner and Agent to the Governor General’, with headquarters at Peshawar. Today the following districts make up the Hazara Division: Abbottabad, Battagaram, Haripur, Kohistan and Mansehra. Out of these Abbottabad and Mansehra divisions were greatly affected by Earthquake 2005. [Quotations from the Imperial Gazetteer 1901 - Ed.]

1.0 ABBOTTABAD AB BOT TA BA D I N 1 9 TH C E N TU RY An interesting description of Abbottabad and its environs is provided by William Martin Conway. In ‘Climbing and Exploration in the Karakoram Himalayas’ he wrote in 1894: “Then we came among trees into a French-looking region, and so reached the col [sic] at the top of the valley and beheld Abbottabad and all its pleasant houses, dotted about over tree covered slopes by the side of an ancient lake basin, in the midst of considerable hills. We halted at the dak bangla to learn of the safe arrival of Lieut.-Colonel LloydDickin, who was to join us as a collector of birds, and then we proceeded to our destination. This was the bangle of the last member of our party that remains to be mentioned, but by no means the least important, Lieut. The Hon. C.G. Bruce, of the first battalion of the Fifth Gurkha Rifles. .... I remained at Abbottabad from the 11th till the 28th of March. This long halt was caused by delay in arrival of heavy baggage from Karachi. We found life in the headquarters of the Frontier Force extremely interesting, and the kindness extended to us all hands made it more than usually agreeable. We were being admitted into one of the workshops, the like of which have fashioned and are fashioning the British Empire. …..” Conway described the location of the city: “Abbottabad is situated in the midst of the belt of hilly country between the Indus and Jhelam rivers. The scenery of the complex valley system around it is not unlike that of the Italian lakes, except that the water is missing. There are lake-basins, but no lakes.”

only about 750 feet above the cantonments, and a good path has been made to it; but the view is superb. I used to watch the sunset sweeping a broad purple shadow across the empty lake-basin, and colouring the opposing front of Tandiani a wondrous crimson with rich blue shadows in the gullies. Away to the west, just on this side of the Indus, was the Black Mountain, with whose turbulent tribes the Abbottabad troops have so often been engaged. Further off a long line of snowy peaks, the mountains of Chakesar, led the eye northwards to regions almost unknown.” The life at the station and the pastimes of the representatives of the ruling power are also well described, “One day a wolf was reported, and a great drive over the hills was organized by Bruce. The Gurkhas entered thoroughly into the sport, and beat the hillsides in a broad line, but only jackals were bagged. Another time Bruce took McCormick and Roudebush to the top to Tandiani, a summer station, at this time deep in snow. … The energetic Bruce next carried McCormick off to Bagnota, another hill station to the eastwards. They arrived there in the dark and found the whole place deserted. The Gurkhas went a long distance with a bath to fetch water. A tree was cut down for firewood, a sheep killed and cut up. The flesh was cooked in Homeric fashion, and brought in by torch-bearers to be consumed within the hut.”

Describing the breathtaking scenery of Abbottabad, Conway enthused: “I used to wander up the little slate hill behind Bruce’s bangla. It is called the Brigade Circular, and has been planted with trees – I suppose by the same wise man who made the whole place so green. The summit is

AB BOT TA BA D C I TY Abbottabad, the third largest city of NWFP, has been a tourist destination ever since the British Colonial Period, due to its pleasant weather and scenic beauty. It boasts several fine educational institutions and continues to be a hub of Pakistan Army. Being a focal point on the Karakoram High, it is the gateway not only to the province’s important districts, it also provides access to the Vale of Kashmir. The site of Abbottabad city was chosen by Major Abbott as a cantonment for its political and strategical position. The headquarters of the district were moved from the old Sikh capital of Haripur to Abbottabad in 1853. Abbottabad, considered “probably the prettiest in the Panjab” laid out in the year that Major James Abbott (1807-1896, later General), the first Deputy Commissioner of Hazara, left the district. It was named after him in recognition of the services he had rendered in the service of the Raj - Abbott had served in the area from 1847 to 1853. Abbottabad town is located 4,120 feet above the sea level, at the southern corner of the picturesque Rash (Orash) Plain. It houses a major cantonment for the army which was established by the British. The city boundaries contain the Civil Lines, the Sadar Bazaar and the Nawan Shahr, the original or native town which was in existence before the foundations of Abbottabad were laid. The municipality of Abbottabad was created in 1867. As the Handbbook of 1883 recorded: “It [Abbottabad] is picturesquely situated at the S. corner of the Orash Plan, 4,020 ft. above the sea. The pop. In 1868 was 4,483; there are lines for a Gurkha battalion and a N.I. regiment of the Panjab [sic] force, and a European battery of mounted artillery. It is the head quarters of the Frontier force Staff. There are a large Bazar, Court-house, and Treasury, Jail, Post Office, Telegraph Station and small Church. The Church, St. Luke’s

was consecrated on October 18th 1865. It contains accommodation for 150 persons.” Abbottabad was considered by the British, “a point of much strategic value as a guard to river Indus and N.W. Passes.” Its importance was due to its location and the access it provided from Kashmir to the River Indus, commanding the river and the entire Hazara region. For the British its great value was not only as a hill station and a healthy place to occupy, its grassy slopes and “its hill sides bare of forest,” provided excellent training ground for troops. Since sickness of troops was a recurring worry to an alien power unused to harsh weather conditions of the country, nearby Thandiani at 8,845 feet above sea level, presented an ideal summer resort when the troops in Abbottabad garrison needed recuperation. In 1881, the Gazetteer recorded that Abbottabad was “a small place of 1,371 inhabitants.” It is situated 42 miles from “Hassan Abdal, a Panjab Northern State Railway Station.” At the time, it consisted of “the Sadr Bazaar of the Civil Lines and Cantonments of Abbottabad, to which solely it owes its existence. It has a single grain market, dispensary Committee house, Government sarai and one private sarai.” The Municipal Committee consisted of seven members: the Deputy Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner, Civil Surgeon, District Superintendant Police, Executive Engineer, tahsildar, and the Head master are ex-officio members.” The income was largely derived from the levy of octroi tax. Today, Abbottabad is the headquarter of Hazara Division and Hazara District and home to major government institutions. According to the Census, it had a population of 81,000 in 1998, which no doubt has now considerably increased. Majority of its inhabitants are Hindko-speaking. A small percentage have Pushto and Potohari as their mother tongue, while most of the inhabitants speak and understand Urdu.

MANSEHRA DISTRICT

2.0 MANSEHRA Mansehra town is located on the Karakoram Highway on the right bank of the picturesque Siran River, north of Abbottabad. It is a flourishing town with considerable trade. A description is provided by William Martin Conway. In his book Climbing and Exploration in the Karakoram Himalaya, wrote in 1894: “In about two hours and a half [from Abbottabad] we reached the crest of a gentle rise, and saw at our feet a deeper little valley than usual, and the picturesque village of Mansehra climbing up its opposite slope. We passed the merry muletrain as we dipped down the river, and after traversing the populous and slummy street, we reached the wooded compound of the dak bangle.”

NWFP | Document 3

He described his stay in the rest house: “Our first experience of these Indian rest-houses, so much abused, was decidedly favourable. We had the place to our selves. The house was good, the rooms clean and sufficiently furnished. There were even books to read. There were armchairs in the veranda and a lawn in front of it. Tea was served a few minutes after our arrival, and then I wandered forth to enjoy the pleasant evening and charming views. Before us was a low ridge covered with granite boulders and looking like a moraine. I knew that one of the boulders bears an Ashoka inscription, and was all eagerness to find it; but no one could direct me to it, and my search was fruitless. There was clearly an ancient trade-route through the valley in remote times, and the inscription must be in the neighbourhood of the old road.”
