Brokpa, Drokpa, Dard and Shin is a category of Scheduled Tribes under the Indian constitution. The category contains tribes who speak Dardic languages .

Over time, the term "Brokpa" fell out of use in Baltistan and the Drass area, in favour of ethnic labels such as "Dards" and "Shins". [7] Only the Brokpa of the lower Indus valley in Ladakh Dah Hanu region continue to retain the name, and their language is called Brokskat. [2] [8] They use the endonym Minaro.
The region is inhabited by the Brokpas — an exonym, used by the Ladakhis (lit. Highlanders) — who are a sub-group of the Shin people. [2] From their oral history, it can be reasoned that Dah-Hanu region was first occupied c. 10th century by a group of migratory Shins who practiced the largely-animist ancient Dardic religion, and staked claim to a "Minaro" ethnic identity.

Darchik [a] is a village in the Kargil district of Ladakh, primarily populated by the Brokpa people. The main language spoken here is known as Brokskat (in Ladakhi) which is part of the Dardic language of the Indo-European branch. Darchik is one of the four villages comprising the Aryan valley (with two in Kargil district and two in Leh district).
Dardic is simply a convenient term to denote a bundle of aberrant [Indo-Aryan] hill-languages which, in their relative isolation, accented in many cases by the invasion of Pathan tribes, have been in varying degrees sheltered against the expand influence of [Indo-Aryan] Midland (Madhyadesha) innovations, being left free to develop on their own.
The two villages situated in the Dha Hanu valley, also known as Aryan valley, about 163 km northwest of Leh in Ladakh. Being at a lower altitude, Dha and Hanu is warmer than Leh, allowing for the cultivation of wine-grapes and cherries as well as apricots and walnuts.
