 In the early 1990s there was a movement amongst Pamiris to separate Gorno-Badakhshan from Tajikistan.Fatimid-Ismāʿīlī Islam had been introduced to the Badakhshan and Pamir (valley) by Nasir Khusraw al-Qubadiani, who was appointed as the Dā'ī al-Mutlaq and Hujjat al-Islam by Fatimid Caliph Abū Tamīm Ma'add al-Mustanṣir bi-llāh for Pamiris in Turkestan and Badakhshan in Afghanistan.Today's Pamiris are predominantly Nizārī Ismā'īlī Shia and follow the Aga Khan.
