The Monument of Freedom, standing tall in Chinar Bagh – Gilgit city, is a testomony of the fact. In the 1948′s war of independence the highest number of martys belonged to Hunza Valley and the Ghizar Valley, both predominently Ismaili regions. Shaheed Havaldar Lalak Jan (Nishan-e-Haider), an Ismaili, is the modern icon of patriotism and martial commitment. He was awarded Pakistan’s highest military award, Nishan-e-Haider (named after Hazrat Ali), by the government of Pakistan in recognition of his unrivaled bravery, comradship, sacrifice and military leadership.
