دیرکا نواب شاہ جہاں
تاریخ اس بات پر مظہر ہے کہ نواب شاہ جہان ایک انتہائی ظالم شخص تھا اس نے اپنے قوم کا جینا حرام کر رکھا تھا۔کہا جاتا ہے کہ کچھ دنوں کے بعد اپنے نوکر بھیجواتا تھا اور ہر گھر سے گھی مرغے اور لکڑیاں وغیرہ جیسے چیزیں لیتا تھا۔اور کسی کے پاس قلم نہیں رہنے دیتا تھا۔اس نے دیر کے لوگوں کو علم سے دور رکھا ورنہ پورے پاکستان میں دیر والوں جیسے ذہین لوگ بہت کم پائے جاتے ہیں۔نواب شاہ جہان نے دیر کے لوگوں کو اس ڈر کی وجہ سے علم سے دور رکھا کہ وہ یہ سمجھتا تھا کہ اگر یہ لوگ پڑھ لکھیں گے تو میری نوابی چین لی جائی گی

نوابیت کا خاتمہ اور اہل دیر کا پاکستان میں شامل ہوجانا
جیسے کہ دیر کے لوگ میں آزادی کا ایک جزبہ تھا وہ ظالم نواب سے نجات چاہتے تھے اور ویسے بھی انکا پاکستان میں شمولیت کا ایک جزبہ تھا۔اسلئے دیر کے کچھ سرداروں1969میں راتوں رات صدر مملکت پاکستان ایوب خان کے پاس گئے اور درخواست پیش کی کہ دیر کو پاکستان میں شامل کیا جائے تب پاکستانی گورنمنٹ نے دیر پر اپنا قبضہ جمایا اور نوب شاہ جہاں کو گرفتار کرکے ہالی کاپٹر میں لے گئے
دیر کی رہنے والی ایک خاتون کا بیان ہے کہ جب نواب شاہ جہان کو ل کر گئے تب اور ہالی کاپٹریں آئے اور بے شمار چھیٹیاں(پیغامات) کے کاغذ نیچے پھینکے جس میں بہت سی بات لکھی ہوئی تھی جن میں یہ بھی تھا کہ آج سے آپ لوگ آزاد ہو اور پاکستان کا گورنمنٹ یہاں پر سکول اور دیگر سہولیات فراہم کرے گا۔تو اسی طرح دیر آزاد مملکت پاکستان کا ایک بہت اہم حصہ بن گیا۔

  4. Mostly Wrong Info In Your Blog. Please Do Some Research Before Posting.
    The One Picture You Stated His Cabinet Is Actually Nawab Of Dir Sharif Khan, Khan Of Bajaur, And Of Hunza From 1903 Dehli Durbar.
