226 HUNZA-NAGAR year they refused to allow roads to be made; to Chalt, extending to their own country, and it became necessary to dispatch troops against them. Nagar and Hunza were occupied, and the Tham of the former place submitted, while Safdar Ali, the Tham of Hunza, fled to Chinese Turkistan. The subsidies were withdrawn, and a Political officer and military force remained at Hunza till 1897 ; but in 1892 Muhammad Nazim Khan was installed as Tham in place of his half-brother Safdar Ali, while the Tham of Nagar was reinstated. In 1895 subsidies were again granted by the Government of India and the Kashmir State, and in the same year both chiefs assisted in the relief of Chitral. Zafar Zahid Khan, Tham of Nagar, died in 1904 and was succeeded by his son Sikandar Khan. The chief of Hunza, who claims Roskam and the Taghdumbash Pamir north of the Hindu Kush watershed, is permitted to exchânge presents with the Chinese authorities in Kashgar, but these relations are under consideration. Both States are autonomous as regards internal affairs, and acknowledge the suzerainty of the Maharaja of Kashmir, to whom they pay a tribute of nominal value. They furnish levies for the defence of the frontier, who receive pay from the Kashmir State, and are armed with Snider carbines, presented by the Government of India.
