Hunza Matters by Hermann Kreutzmann: A Scholarly Bridge from the Silk Road to CPEC

This English review is based on Hermann Kreutzmann's original work and adapts themes from an article originally published in Urdu on my blog, Diverse Dreams. Introductory Remarks We often celebrate the Hunza Valley for its breathtaking beauty, but its deeper significance lies in its role as a historical and contemporary crossroads. Hermann Kreutzmann’s Hunza Matters (2020 ) masterfully shifts the focus from picturesque views to the valley’s critical function as a borderland. This review explores Kreutzmann’s analysis of how Hunza’s past on the ancient Silk Road shapes its present challenges and opportunities, particularly through modern initiatives like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The book provides a scholarly foundation for understanding the very issues-connectivity, culture, and climate-that resonate deeply with local narration.
