Abstract
This senior year thesis is about the perception of the youth of Gilgit-Baltistan on the current constitutional status of Gilgit-Baltistan. Gilgit-Baltistan is an administrative part of Pakistan, which gained independence in 1947 from Dogra's rule and joined Pakistan. The region's legal status is undefined in successive Pakistani constitutions, which led to the denial of the constitutional and political rights of the people of GB. People of the region still do not have rights as citizens of Pakistan, which is the leading factor of dissatisfaction and political deprivation amongst the people of GB. This paper aims to highlight the constitutional ambiguity of the region by analyzing the perception of the region's youth about the constitutional status of Gilgit-Baltistan. The paper will also shed light on constitutional liminality under the pretext of the Kashmir issue. The research will include a brief historical background of the region, various reforms brought by different Political regimes in Pakistan, and the link between the constitutional limbo of GB with the Kashmir issue.
