The analysis of the data reveals that the study area has a total population of 1, 33,487. Near about 77.49 percent of total population is a tribal population and is unevenly distributed. The major tribes are Bhots, Champas, Brokpas, Mons and Arghuns. The average physiological density of population is 260 persons / Km2. The overall literacy rate is 70.24 percent and varies among males and females. The average sex ratio is 690 females per thousand males that is less than the national average sex ratio of 943 females per thousand males. Majority of the population was engaged in secondary activities (45.72 %). Birth rate and death rate shows fluctuations with years and G. M. Rather there is declining trend in population growth from 1981 onwards.

Development, Introduction University of Kashmir, Population is defined as any finite or infinite collection of individual Srinagar, India objects. But in geography it refers to a congregation of human individual objects. The specialized study of population geography, began in early sixties with the presidential address delivered by Trewartha (Trewartha , 1953). Review of Literature According to Trewartha the scope of the field should include a treatment of all the variables present in the census schedule of advanced nation. The data used in various disciplines of knowledge. However, the geographical use of data is unique for its being carried on the identification of regional pattern and spatial arrangements and explanation of the Arshad A. Lone processes of the formation of regional patterns and personalities (Zelinsky, Research Scholar 1966). Population distributions are constantly changing as births and Deptt.of Geography and Regional deaths occur and as people move (Austin et al 1987). Demography is the Development, study of human populations in relation to the changes brought about by the University of Kashmir, interplay of births, deaths and migration (Christopher, 1985). Demography Srinagar, India is the science of population. Demography is concerned with the quantitative study of the size structure, characteristics and territorial distribution of human populations and the changes occurring in them. Demography is also concerned with the study of the underlying causes and determinants of the population phenomena (Jain, 2014). Demographic analysis focus particularly on studying changes in population in terms of its size, growth rates and composition (Preston et al, 2003). The relationship between education and demographic and social changes is one of interdependence .There is a close and complex relationship among education, marriage age, fertility, mortality, mobility and activity ( Mushtaq A.Kumar Srivastava, 2012). Demography performs all the functions, characteristics Research Scholar of a science such as enquiry into cause effect relationships, prediction Deptt. of Geography and Regional about the future etc. it uses the scientific methods of observation and Development, analysis. It is a positive science which studies facts both quantitatively as University of Kashmir, well as qualitatively (Sharma, 2004). Societies around the world are Srinagar, India characterized or shaped by their population processes and characteristics (Newbold, 2012). Aim of the Study The present study was an attempt to study various demographic aspects of cold desert – Leh Ladakh. The main objective of the study was to describe, analyze and interpret the spatial pattern of population in district Leh. Conceptual framework The term population structure usually makes a turning point from the gross and general to the refined and specific.

D. J. Boque has sub divided the substantial change in the numerical magnitude of the population composition into four parts, demographic, population. It is not unlikely that within a specified social, household family and economic characteristics period, a certain number of one age group may leave of population (Boque, 1969). an area which about the same number of persons of a The composition of population refers to those different age group may move in.

    Cycling Ladakh Catching breath on the road to Rangdum monastery PICTURE CREDIT: Stanzin Jigmet/Pixel Challenger Breaking the There's much more to Kate Leeming's pre- Antarctic expeditions than preparation. Her journey in the Indian Himalaya was equally about changing peoples' lives. WORDS Kate Leeming 92 93 Cycling Ladakh A spectacular stream that eventually flows into the Suru River, on the 4,000m plains near Rangdum nergy was draining from my legs. My heart pounded hard and fast, trying to replenish my oxygen deficit. I gulped as much of the rarified air as I could, without great success; at 4,100m, the atmospheric oxygen is at just 11.5 per cent, compared to 20.9 per cent at sea level. As I continued to ascend towards the snow-capped peaks around Sirsir La pass, the temperature plummeted and my body, drenched in a lather of perspiration, Estarted to get cold, further sapping my energy stores. Sirsir La, at 4,828m, is a few metres higher than Europe’s Mont Blanc, and I was just over half way up the continuous 1,670m ascent to get there. This physiological response may have been a reality check, but it was no surprise. The ride to the remote village of Photoksar on the third day of my altitude cycling expedition in the Indian Himalaya had always loomed as an enormous challenge, and I was not yet fully acclimatised. I drew on experience to pace myself: keeping the pedals spinning in a low gear, trying to relax as much as possible and avoiding unnecessary exertion.

    Singh et al. Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice 2013, 3:16 http://www.pastoralismjournal.com/content/3/1/16 RESEARCH Open Access No longer tracking greenery in high altitudes: Pastoral practices of Rupshu nomads and their implications for biodiversity conservation Navinder J Singh1,2,3*, Yash Veer Bhatnagar2, Nicolas Lecomte4, Joseph L Fox1 and Nigel G Yoccoz1 Abstract Nomadic pastoralism has thrived in Asia’s rangelands for several millennia by tracking seasonal changes in forage productivity and coping with a harsh climate. This pastoralist lifestyle, however, has come under intense transformations in recent decades due to socio-political and land use changes. One example is of the high-altitude trans-Himalayan rangelands of the Jammu and Kashmir State in northern India: major socio-political reorganisation over the last five decades has significantly impacted the traditional pasture use pattern and resources. We outline the organizational transformations and movement patterns of the Rupshu pastoralists who inhabit the region. We demonstrate the changes in terms of intensification of pasture use across the region as well as a social reorganisation due to accommodation of Tibetan refugees following the Sino-Indian war in 1961 to 1962. We focus in particular on the Tso Kar basin - an important socio-ecological system of livestock herding and biodiversity in the eastern Ladakh region. The post-war developmental policies of the government have contributed to these modifications in traditional pasture use and present a threat to the rangelands as well as to the local biodiversity. In the Tso Kar basin, the number of households and livestock has almost doubled while pasture area has declined by half.

    2000 Ladakh and Zanskar-The Land of Passes

    1 LADAKH AND ZANSKAR -THE LAND OF PASSES The great mountains are quick to kill or maim when mistakes are made. Surely, a safe descent is as much a part of the climb as “getting to the top”. Dead men are successful only when they have given their lives for others. Kenneth Mason, Abode of Snow (p. 289) The remote and isolated region of Ladakh lies in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, marking the western limit of the spread of Tibetan culture. Before it became a part of India in the 1834, when the rulers of Jammu brought it under their control, Ladakh was an independent kingdom closely linked with Tibet, its strong Buddhist culture and its various gompas (monasteries) such as Lamayuru, Alchi and Thiksey a living testimony to this fact. One of the most prominent monuments is the towering palace in Leh, built by the Ladakhi ruler, Singe Namgyal (c. 1570 to 1642). Ladakh’s inhospitable terrain has seen enough traders, missionaries and invading armies to justify the Ladakhi saying: “The land is so barren and the passes are so high that only the best of friends or worst of enemies would want to visit us.” The elevation of Ladakh gives it an extreme climate; burning heat by day and freezing cold at night. Due to the rarefied atmosphere, the sun’s rays heat the ground quickly, the dry air allowing for quick cooling, leading to sub-zero temperatures at night. Lying in the rain- shadow of the Great Himalaya, this arid, bare region receives scanty rainfall, and its primary source of water is the winter snowfall.

FRANCKE’S TEACHERS, GUIDES AND FRIENDS IN THE WESTERN HIMALAYA1 JOHN BRAY (International Association for Ladakhi Studies) The Moravian missionary scholar August Hermann Francke (1870-1930) left a rich legacy of research on Ladakh and the neighbouring regions of the Western Himalaya. Arguably, his greatest single contribution was his Antiquities of Indian Tibet, published in two volumes by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in 1914 and 1926, which contains translations of the Ladakhi royal chronicle, the La dvags rgyal rabs, as well as other key historical texts. Other important contributions Fig. 1. Francke exploring the ruins of a Buddhist temple in Gompa village, near Leh, Ladakh, 1909. Photo: Pindi Lal. Courtesy of Kern Institute, University of Leiden 1 I gratefully acknowledge advice and support from a number of friends and colleagues over the years, especially Michaela Appel, Stephan Augustin, Isrun Engelhardt, Martin Klingner, Thsespal Kundan, Rüdiger Kröger, Onesimus Ngundu, Lorraine Parsons, Frank Seeliger and Hartmut Walravens. All errors remain my own responsibility. 40 JOHN BRAY include A Lower Ladakhi Version of the Kesar Saga (1905-1941) and dozens of shorter publications on topics ranging from rock inscriptions to music and folk songs.2 In February 1930 Francke died tragically young at Berlin’s Charité hospital, still aged only 59. Among the works that still lay incomplete at the time of his death was a collection of Ladakhi wedding songs that he planned to publish with the ASI. As Elena De Rossi Filibeck (2009, 2016) has explained, the ASI still hoped to bring out the text after Francke’s death.

    0 1 DISTRICT PROFILE Although, Leh district is one of the largest districts of the country in terms of area, it has the lowest population density across the entire country. The district borders Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Chinese occupied Ladakh in the North and Northwest respectively, Tibet in the east and Lahoul-Spiti area of Himachal Pradesh in the South. The district of Leh forms the Northern tip of the Indian Sub Continent. According to the Geographical experts, the district has several other features, which make it unique when compared with other parts of the Indian sub-continent. The district is the coldest and most elevated inhabited region in the country with altitude ranging from 2300 meters to 5000 meters. As a result of its high altitude locations, annual rainfall is extremely low. This low status of precipitation has resulted in scanty vegetation, low organic content in the soil and loose structure in the cold desert. But large-scale plantation has been going in the district since 1955 and this state of affairs is likely to change. The ancient inhabitants of Ladakh were Dards, an Indo- Aryan race. Immigrants of Tibet, Skardo and nearby parts like Purang, Guge settled in Ladakh, whose racial characters and cultures were in consonance with early settlers. Buddhism traveled from central India to Tibet via Ladakh leaving its imprint in Ladakh. Islamic missionaries also made a peaceful penetration of Islam in the early 16 th century. German Moravian Missionaries having cognizance of East India Company also made inroads towards conversion but with little success. In the 10 th century AD, Skit Lde Nemagon, the ruler of Tibet, invaded Ladakh where there was no central authority.
