Humans of Hunza Stories of common Hunzokutz (people of Hunza) in their own words captured by Imran Ahmed Hunzai. One story at a time!

Inspired by Humans of New York, Humans of Hunza is a project to bring you the stories or ordinary Hunzokutz (people of Hunza) living in Hunza and abroad. The Humans of Hunza project focuses on highlighting the simple life of common man. I think the quotes of tradition, heritage, and lifestyle of Hunza cannot be told any better than the common man himself! The page will eventually grow into an arch

ive featuring short stories and quotes of how people are living their lives in the modern day Hunza. The project also aspires to help people understand how people used to spend their lives in the Hunza that has been depicted in the books and journals of early 20th century.

Earlier today, Ibrahim (Tippo) passed away in Karimabad, Hunza.

Our prayers for the departed soul.

"Take a quick picture of me with this gate. I am getting late for work".

Tipo (real name Ibrahim) is a well know face in Karimabad. At an early age, he had lost his hearing and voice but growing up, he somehow regained both without any treatment. Tipo's two siblings were also differently abled, one of whom passed away recently.

Most of his days, he helps people with moving goods up the hill and fixing broken walls etc. He gets paid as well some of which he spends on watching flicks and having tea at local restaurants.

He likes to keep pictures of actresses in his purse and would often share with people in his company. Among his collections, he has a big picture of Divya Bharti from a Sunday magazine page.

These procedures have been crucial for her recovery, but the financial burden of medical bills is overwhelming, even after her family has covered as much as they can.

Our Story

Inspired by Humans of New York, Humans of Hunza is a project to bring you the stories or ordinary Hunzokutz (people of Hunza) living in Hunza and abroad. The Humans of Hunza project focuses on highlighting the simple life of the common man. I think the quotes of tradition, heritage, and lifestyle of Hunza Valley cannot be told any better than the common man himself! The page will eventually grow into an archive featuring stories and quotes of how people are living their lives in the modern day Hunza. The project also aspires to help people understand how people used to spend their lives in the historic Hunza State that has been depicted in the books and journals of the early 20th century.

The project is being run by Imran Hunzai. One story at a time!
