Details
A cultural History of Ladakh is a comprehensive account of the history and cultural of this remote Himalaya region, once known as Western Tibet from the earliest times up to the present. The author discusses the arrival of Buddhism to the region, the growth of the Ladakhi kingdom, its relations with Neighboring Buddhist states and its eventualincorporation into Jammu and Kashmir State. Throughout the book Nawang Tsering Shakspo draws on local histiries and bio-graphies to illustrate the larger historical trends. The second half of the book is devoted to Ladakh's rich cultral heritage: its songs, dances and folk customs. It concludes with a discussion of the future of Ladakh, which is undergoing a tremendous tranformation. This is a unique book written by one of Ldakh's foremost scholars.
