THE CANNIBAL KING
Shari Badat the Cannibal Sheen king (Raa) 0f Gilgit Baltistan is one of the
most important figures in Gilgit's history. He is the last Sheen king.
According
to the tales of Gilgit it is said that his subjects were to give him a
lamb every day for meal. It was mandatory for everyone to bring it to
his palace and they followed him without any objection as he was the
ruler. Once there was a poor woman she had only one sheep that died
after giving birth to a lamb, there was no other way to provide milk to
the little lamb so the lady feed the lamb with her own milk then it was
her turn to send the king a lamb, she only had that lamb so she brought
it to the palace for that day’s meal. The lamb was slaughtered and meal
was cooked by his servants. When they served the meal and he had his
first bite it was the most delicious meal he had tasted so far. When he
was done with his meal he called his servants and inquired why the meal
was so tasty and who brought lamb for meal. They answered about the poor
woman, he ordered his servants to bring her to the palace, and they
followed what he said. That poor woman was in front of him, he asked her
why the lamb' meat was that much tasty as compared to the meat he had
in his meals so far. She replied him that the lamb was brought up by
feeding her own milk. He was amazed and it was the point when the wicked
thought came into his mind. He thought if a lamb brought up with the
milk of this poor woman tastes so good how much pleasure it will give
when he eat human flesh! thus, he decided to change the rule. He declared
that from now onwards he wants a human baby every day for his meal and
his people were subjected to obey him.
It
was very hard for them to follow his order but once an order was made
there was no way for denial .He started consuming human flesh by killing
a baby every day. His people were worried allot because he was eating
up all the new born kids so they went to his daughter Miyo Khai and
asked for the help. The princess with her husband Azur Jamshed agreed to
help the people of Gilgit and planned to stop the cruelty of the king.
They decided to bring him to death but there was a big problem as the
king was not an ordinary human being he had some magical powers. He
couldn’t be killed with a simple sword or by poisoning as his life was
associated with something that even Miyo doesn’t knew. She cleverly
trapped him and found the truth that his life is associated with butter
(Gew).She thought he can only be killed by melting all the butter they
have in the palace. They all made a plan, According to which she will
melt all the butter on fire at night while the people were ordered to
bring a bunch of burning alpine sticks with them. They dig the front
part of the palace and cover it with dry grass so he couldn’t see it so
when the king feel the heat in his heart while his daughter will be
melting the butter and he will try to come out for fresh air and will
fell into the den and they will burn him. The plan was successful he
came out and fell into the well they put all the burning fire in their
hands on him but he disappeared and never came back.
This is unbelievable :O
