At Gurgurdo, the border between Ladakh and Baltistan was set up in the 17th century followed by the battle between the kingdom of Ali Sher Khan anchan and Gyalpo Jamyang Namgail.It has a sequence of seven strategically placed watchtowers, now in ruins, along the open terrain of the village that were previously guarded by both kingdoms which confirm this historical aspect.

The 1916 Survey of India map shows the borders between the tehsils. (Need to enlarge a lot to find them.) It puts Garkon in the Leh tehsil and Darchik in the Kargil tehsil!
And Kargil included, not only Ganokh, but all the way till Khaplu! The political frontier had nothing to do with the ethnic divisions. It appears that Zorawar Singh " annexed" all this territory when he went to invade Baltistan, whereas Skardu was left under an heir (Mohammad Shah).
The Pakistani response to all these dilemmas is:
In 1947 two tehsils of Kargil and Ladakh also belonged to Baltistan but they fell outside the control of the administration of Baltistan as a result of ceasefire agreement with India in 1948. (Dani, p 6)
So it was the "ceasefire agreement" (which was totally unfair to Pakistan) that divided the country, not the war! The war should have logically continued until "Baltistan" was made whole again. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 06:59, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
