One of the biggest problem is Indian government does not publish official map of Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh and what it claims. All the maps are as published by other countries. Here is one older map where Chitral is also part of Ladakh/Kashmir.

Gilgit Baltistan population does not like Islamist proposed Balwaristan that was proposed. They are going back to their linguistic and ethnic identity. Many of them are renaming themselves from Arabic names to Tibetan names irrespective of the religion.

Summary - The PoL population of Gilgit Baltistan are asserting their true identity and are being persecuted by Pakistan and their wealth is being given to China for CEPC. Shia and Ismaili sects killing by Pakistan is also giving huge fear.
