History


Although sparsely populated, Yasin was of strategic importance because it leads to a high mountain pass to Yarkhun Valley and then to Broghil Pass in Chitral, connecting with the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan and Tajikistan.


Early period


Yasin valley was administrative centre of Worshigum which remained under the suzerainty of Mehtars who emerged from Chitral. The Mehtars of Yasin were great warriors and fought against the Sikhs and the Dogras of Kashmir in Gilt agency. But more often, they fought with each other, intrigued and murdered each other. Eventually the British got tired of them and took control of the territory in 1895 under the Gilgit Agency. By this time, Yasin was firmly recognised as part of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir.[4]
