With due respect, I would share something about me with the honourable learning and teaching/educating community. I was born at Sundus, Skardu, Baltistan in 1970. I obtained my primary education from Federal Government Primary School Sundus, middle education from Federal Government Middle School Kushmarah, Secondary Education from Federal Government High School No.1 near District Head Quarter Hospital, Higher Secondary Education from Federal Government Degree College Skardu. Then I was nominated for studying chemical engineering at Federal Government Dawood College of Engg and Tech MA Jinnah Road, Karachi. I obtained my first class bachelor degree in chemical engineering discipline in 1994.My final year engineering project was a thesis report on the use of CNG (compressed natural gas) as an alternative automobile fuel in Pakistan in 1992. Since then I have been serving in both government and non government organisations in both junior and senior management positions in Pakistan. Before joining POF (a Federal Government Defence Store Production Organisation). I served at Pak-Carb Carb (Pvt) Limited, Hub Industrial Estate, Baluchistan as a Plant Engineer. I have also been imparting lectures to DAE final year students at POF Institute of Technology, Wah for many years. I have also served as MR ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 18001 for many years. My father, Mr. Fida Muhammad Baigcho, came of a noble religious landlord family which was settled at Khaplu, the District Headquarters of Gangtche Baltistan before partitioning of the Sub-Continent. He married seven ladies by following the Muslim Sharia Laws. My mother was his sixth wife from whom he had several children. He had many children from other marriages too. I being his last son survived my childhood but my brothers and sisters could not survive their childhood. My mother had one daughter (the eldest) from first marriage to her first cousin, who is now mother of four sons and grand mother of many grand daughters and grand sons. I have three sons and one daughter from my first and only marriage. My father had three sisters and one brother. His brother died in his childhood and one sister died before marriage. Two sisters have children and grand children. My father passed away in his early nineties on 5th April, 2009 and my mother, Maryam d/o Isa Baqdul Qurbanpa, passed away in early fifties on 30th August, 1988. She was one of a few ladies in Baltistan who were Qura'an learned in her time. My father was born at Thaskong, Khaplu and my mother was born at Kraming, Khaplu. On the advice of my father, my mother taught me initially and wished me success. She was the second eldest of her ten sisters and one brother being the second youngest. My mother's youngest sister, Hawwa, passed away in her mid teens. Second youngest sister, Khadijah Bi, passed away two years after her marriage to Mr. Qamber, our neighbour at Sundus in her late teens without any children. Only three sisters and the brother have children. My paternal grandfather's name was Mr. Ghulam Muhammad Baigcho. My paternal aunt, Ms Fizza, told me that Mr. Rahim Khan, probably fifth back in our ancestry was the real younger brother of then Cho of Kharmang who came to Khaplu. In this context and in the recent past, Mr. Fateh Ali Khan, the Cho of Khaplu, is one of important and prominent personalities of Baltistan. Baltistan has experienced two important eras namely Hlatus and Chotus. In Hlatus era, Sundus was the centre of governance with the official palaces(Khar) of Rgialu Stralbu, the King and his wife, Hlanow Brukmo. During Hlatus, Baltistan was a vast Kingdom and called Hlayul where Hlafo Caesar like Supernatural Kings would rule but because of mistakes by Hlanows, wars broke out which resulted in the destruction of infrastructures and Skardu was completely drowned into floods. Flood water level reached Chingrdwa now called Chunda. After this, Chotus started and Hlayul was renamed as Baltiyul. When muslims from Iran and central Asia reached there, they used the word 'Baltistan' for Baltiyul. Some of clans of Chotus who introduce themselves as Yabgos, Maqpones and Amachas. Due to marriages according to Shariah Muhammadiah (pbuh) Laws, Muslim Baltis are multiethnic people living in Baltistan or elsewhere in the world now. The earliest prominent muslim scholars who reached Baltistan in 14th century AD to practice and preach Islam there were Hazrat Syed Ali Hamdani (Amir Kabir) and Hazrat Syed Muhammad Noorbakhsh.

My wife
My wife comes of a noble religious landlord family of Baltistan, Pakistan. Her name is Kaniz Fatima. She was born at Jinnah Town, Skardu, Baltistan, Pakistan in 1975. Her father, Mr. Muhammad Ibrahin Baigcho, was born at Stronpi, Khaplu, the District Headquarters of District Ganche, Baltistan, Pakistan. She has four brothers and three sisters including herself. She studied at Federal Government Girls College Skardu and obtained her HSSC from FBISE Islamabad, the capital of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Our arranged Nikah took place at her father's residence at Skardu in 1993 and we were formally married at Sundus, Skardu, Baltistan, Pakistan in 1995. She joined District Headquarter Hospital and became a maternity expert. She also studied Allama Iqbal Open University Course for award of bachelor degree in economics. However, she did not complete it due to her social activities. I have always supported her both financially and morally, though having limited resources. I have four sons (Mr. Waqar Ali, Mr. Imtiaz Ahmad Ali, Mr Dilawar Ali and Mr. Muhammad Ali) and one daughter(Ms Maryam Fatima Bibi) from her. My wife's father is my father's paternal real aunt's grand son. We are called Baigcho's, Bigcho's and Backcho's, sometimes ironically, because of our charity and safety mindedness.
