I am from the region of Paddar, and there are many stories about the discovery of sapphires here. One such story is that locals initially found these gemstones and mistook them for quartz. They sold them to a trader from Lahol along with bauxite, who then sold them in the Shimla market. There, the blue stones were shown to a jeweler who recognized their true value. For decades, illegal extraction of sapphires continued, with the innocent Paddari people selling the sapphires for salt on a weight-for-weight basis. Eventually, the Maharaja learned about this and sent his army to take control of the sapphire extraction.

As a patriot, it is important to not just blame the British blindly. How can you be so asinine to not understand value of something. We have to be wary with every interaction. It's like giving an entire coal mine to China for peanuts. Either he is telling tall tales 2kg sapphire for 2kg salt. Or these people aren't the sharpest tools in the box

@indiainmotion2 күн бұрын

Please remember that this story happened in the 1800s (or even earlier) and it was a very different world back then. From the stories I heard, the only use for the sapphire back then was as flint to light a fire. And it was so abundant in the area that people did not value it much. Ofcourse the 2kg story might be an exaggeration, but it is a known fact that they used to trade Sapphires for Salt coming in from Rupshu in Ladakh.

@nevergiveup198412 күн бұрын

@@indiainmotion thank you. 8 also thought it's an exaggeration. Since has a very long history of global trade (with Rome through kerela, Bengal with textiles, etc) it is improbable we would give stuff away without realising their value. Contrast this with the writing of conrad "heart of darkness", where village chiefs gave away acres of land for beads, mirrors etc. They were ignorant of contracts or even the written word. INDIA being on the cross roads between empires and it self birthing several great empired could never be duped so badly no matter the time frame. I enjoy your videos a lot. Keep up the good work. Love from Denmark

@indiainmotion2 күн бұрын

Thank you.. if you are interested you can go through the below article, which is an excerpt from the Geological Survey of India in 1889. It seems corroborate the fact that the stones were not valued at all. And also establishes the connection between Paddar and Rupshu (although the author was oblivious of the fact in his report) www.palagems.com/kashmir-sapphire

It was between 1850 to 1870 when great scholar master and the 3rd throne holder of Stakna Monastery in Ladakh; Lama Tashi Tamphel who first discovered the presence of Sapphire in the mountains of Padder and mentioned about it to the then King of J&K Raja Hari Singh, who in turn send some samples to London for its authenticity! Later when he get confirmation of the originality of the precious Gem found in his Kingdom, Raja Hari Singh honoroed Lama Tashi Tamphel with cash, which he initially rejected but on the Kings consistent appeal to take the money, Lama took the money and distributed all money to the beggars outside Hari Singh's palace! after knowing of that instance, Raja Hari Singh further requested Lama Tashi Tamphel to ask whatever he wanted from the King, to that he ask the king to waveoff all the tax he had put on the poor residents of Ladakh, since than Hari Singh didn't collected any taxes from Ladakh and further the Raja inscribed an order on a copper plate not to collect any tax from Ladakh. The copper plate with the inscription should have been in Stakna Monastery but it is now at Hemis monastery. The king further alloted a piece of land to Lama Tashi Tamphel of Stakna Monastery at Skara, Leh, which later was taken away by Hemis monastery. Lama Tashi Tamphel of Ladakh who was born in Markha valley contributed immensely towards the welfare of whole Ladakh when Ladakh was under the severe tyranny of Raja Hari Singh and his discovery of Sapphire also contributed immensely to the people of Padder. The trade actually happened with the people of Kinnaur and Spiti and during that time, Padder people exchange Sapphire for Salt with the traders from Spiti and Kinnaur. Today possibly there are traces of sapphire still to be find with many individual households in Kinnaur and Spiti if they didn't sold them further!!!!

@indiainmotion Namaste bhai. Wow i know many from paldar or paddar Valley. When i was a young teen in 2006 me and my dad had walked over ~Rohtang la when still late winter and was under deep snow. We followed the keylang postmaster over and some other Lahauli. Then there was no outsiders on Lahaul bcos closed off for winter. We went all throughout Lahaul and stayed many places. And we walked from udaipur to the first village In pangi called Purthi. (The road was blocked bcos huge Rock falls and etc) After we stayed we got ride to capital of pangi kilar and stayed there and went up to some bhoti Buddhist village like Sural Bhatori we just walked up into village and asked a Bhoti man if he can put us up (my father speaks Hindi and Tibetan well but I only very little Even now so I just learn haha) We stayed in his simple but warm house for a few nights as deep snow came. Later we returned kilar and went on that very scary road from kilar to The big town of paddar gulabgarh but sadly didn't stop or go up paddar properly. Then we went to kistwar where there was incredibly heavy tensions. With people and army. Later I found out at pretty much exact time we were there some extremist had did incredibly terrible things in villages near Doda. I since then have spoken to many people from paddar. They also have connections to villages we went in pangi and etc. Bhai I hope this valley doesn't to soon get to much tourism. Truly this place should be left. The traditional culture,pristine water, food, belief is much much more important then a few making money off to many tourists. Yes its incredibly tough life especially in winter but the still are incredibly happy. I talk to some also that go study In jammu and etc. This area should truly not be pushed into mass tours and etc. Its a true Gem. I was born and brought up as a Tibetan Buddhist and 5 of my siblings were born in India. 1 in Karnataka and 4 in Himachal Pradesh. I truly love India and especially the Himalayas. You are one of the best on KZread a you respect these people and you also do things that many not do like trekking and camping in winter in Ladakh, spiti etc. Me and my dad did the ~Parang la from Kibber in spiti to ~Tsomoriri and onto Karzork and Leh. I seen your videos u in the area. I talked to a guy from Madras who is on Twitter with name Kyang and he meet you I Ladakh I think in winter!! Like you he is intrepid. Plesse encourage that this place not be overly touristy to fast. I dnt think it will as I asked some people there and I know you understand what I mean as you spend much time in places where not so many go and also at times of the year where almost none go. And you stay quite long periods with them and they treat you as like family. Your videos truly make me happy. You have a genuine heart my friend. Thank you
