Dum Khaa or Talanay ritual was used to be a famous ritual/festival of Gilgit Baltistan region during medieval times. This ritual was celebrated with great enthusiasm in Gilgit and adjacent regions every year in the month of December. Unfortunately, this ritual was was gone to cold stores years ago from Gilgit and surrounding areas. With the efforts of Gilgit Baltistan Nexus, once again the festival of Dum Kha celebrated in Bagrot valley in which people participated
with great enthusiasm and also sang historical folk song , which is called Sheri Badtaye Gaye…Finally, we are extremely grateful to the elders and youth of Bagrot Balchay Valley on behalf of Gilgit-Baltistan Nexus, whose cooperation has once again revived this demolished ritual of Gilgit Baltistan...

::The Holy Beast of Gilgit Baltistan::
During medieval times in Gilgit Baltistan region, snow leopard was regarded as one of the most sacred and holy animals of Gilgit Baltistan. On the stratification of holiness snow leopard( Dee in Shina and Brushaski and singay in Balti) was on the top among all holy animals, next to snow Leopard was ibex(Keel) it used to assume the second number in purity and holiness and markhor (Bom) was in third number in the rank of holiness, next was the ladakh Udiyal(Oreen).
Particularly, the male snow leopard was considered on top in the hierarchy of purity and holiness. Generally, there was a mythical belief of Gilgit Baltistan about male snow leopard that this animal (snow leopard) was so holy and was considered too pure to have sexual contact with the female leopard.. According to the medieval beliefs of G.B particularly in Dimer and adjacent areas It was the common belief about female leopard that she descend to the bank of the river in order to mate and get pregnant with the male Otter( Ozzo in shina)and not with the male snow leopard, because it was too pure and holy to perform such a unholy and dirty deed. This mythical story about snow leopard was also prevalent in other Shina speaking areas as well. Basically, this story illustrates the theme that purity needs a partner from the lower and demonic sphere to become fully fertile..moreover, snow leopard was regarded as the Alpha hunter(the biggest hunter)and sacred by the leading hunter communities of Gilgit Baltistan.

بروشسکی زبان گلگت بلتستان کی ایک قدیم ترین زبان ہے۔اسی لئے بقول ڈاکٹر سلیم اختر ماہر لسانیات اس کی مستند تاریخی مواد بہت کم ہے۔ ماہرین لسانیات نے بروشسکی زبان کے ارتقاء اور اسکی تاریخ بیان کرنے پر بہت کام کیا تاکہ اس کا دیگر زبانوں سے جینئیا تی تعلق استوار کیا جاسکے مگر اب تک خاطر خواہ کا میابی نہیں ملی ہے۔
بنیادی طور پر بروشسکی زبان کے تین لہجے مشور ہیں مثلاََ نگر کا لہجہ (مشاسکی) ، ہنزہ کا لہجہ (ہنزاسکی) اور یاسین کا لہجہ (یسنسکی) اسکے علاوہ بھارت کے زیر انتظام جموں و کشمیر کا بھی ایک لہجہ ہے لیکن یہ نگر کے لہجے کے زیادہ قریب ہے۔بہرحال بروشاشکی کو گلگت بلتستان کی ایک قدیم ترین زبان ہونے کا اعزاز حاصل ہے ۔ ڈاکٹر فقیر محمد ڈائریکٹر چائنہ سٹڈی سنٹر جی-بی میڈیا نیکسس چینل کے حوالے سے اپنے تاثرات بیان کررہے ہیں ۔
