Kargil is
a town in Kargil
district and
the
joint
capital
of
the
union
territory
of Ladakh.[3] Kargil
is
the
second
largest
town
in Ladakh after Leh.[4] It
is
located
204Â km
to
the
east
of Srinagar and
234Â km
west
of Leh to
the
east.
Kargil
is
the
centre
of
the Suru
River valley,
historically
known
as Purig.
Kargil
is
the
main
town
in
the
historical
region
of Purig,
which
consists
of
the Suru river
basin.
It
was
not
the
historical
capital
of
the
region.
Earlier,
Purig
consisted
of
a
number
of
small
but
independent
kingdoms,
which
included
Pashkum,
Chiktan,
Fokar,
Soth
and
the Suru Valley.
These
tiny
principalities
would
often
fight
among
themselves
over
petty
issues.
Gasho
âThatha
Khanâ,
an
exiled
prince
in
the
9th
century
AD,
is
perhaps
the
first
ruler
who
brought
together
all
the
territories
under
a
united
administration.
Another
sultan
of
Purig
extended
his
kingdom
to
include Zanskar,
Sot,
Barsoo,
Sankoo
pretty
much
the
territory
of
the
present Kargil
district.
He
is
referred
to
as
âThe
Purig
Sultanâ.
His
capital
was
based
at
Karpokhar
in
the
Suru
Valley.
The
other
famous
kings
of
Kargil
were
Boti
Khan,
Abdal
Khan,
Amrood
Choo,
Tsering
Malik,
Kunchok
Sherab
Stan
and
Thi
Sultan.[citation

It
is
said
that
it
was
the
period
of Ali
Sher
Khan
Anchan,
the
famous
ruler
of Skardu,
in
the
late
16th
and
early
17th
centuries
which
had
a
great
influence
on
the
area.
This
prince
from Baltistan conquered
most
of
the
principalities
of
Purig
and
introduced
Balti
culture
in
the
Kargil
district.
Subsequently,
it
was
the
Dogras
who
united
Baltistan,
Purig,
Zanskar
and
present-day Leh
district in
the
first
half
of
the
19th
century
under
a
single
administrative
unit,
which
lasted
until
1947
when
a
new
line
of
control
was
demarcated
between
India
and
Pakistan
separating
Skardu
and
Kargil.
