Many different factors have caused postponement of publication, including our wish to initiate discussions about the current state and future direction of the IALS and of the newsletter. Hon. Sec. John Bray’s letter on the next page takes up some of these issues. As I am about to embark on a sabbatical year during which I hope to be away from my office for extended periods of time, I believe the time is right to hand over editorial responsibility for Ladakh Studies to someone else.

I should add an apology to our South Asian members who only received their copies of LS 12 in June. In order to simplify logistics and to try and save on the production cost, we tried to have the reproduction of the South Asian members' copies handled in Delhi. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a less than smooth operation, causing a delay of several months in delivering the issue.

    BULLETIN OF TIBETOLOGY 61 BUDDHISM IN THE HIMALAYAN BELT P.K. GAUTAM Institute for Defence Studies and Analysis, New Delhi This paper shows how and why Buddhism is important for India and the India Himalayan belt. It covers historic roots, followed by analysis of select border regions. 1 Its central theme is the need to nurture Buddhism. INTRODUCTION What is the influence and importance of Buddhism on the Indian Himalayan belt? We can answer this question from many perspectives. As far as influence is concerned, Buddhism as practiced in the region has roots in India. It is practiced in the Indian Himalayan belt in Ladakh, and in border regions of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh.2 In neighbouring countries it is practiced in Tibet,3 mountainous regions of Nepal and most of Bhutan. 4 This vast and linear region of harsh terrain, limited resources 1 This paper is based on both a survey of written sources and interaction with leading Buddhist figures. 2 According to 2001 census figures on Buddhism, proportion of Buddhist are 1.1 % in J and K (1.13 lakhs), 1.2% in Himachal Pradesh (75, 859), 28.1% in Sikkim (1.52 lakhs), 13% in Arunachal Pradesh (1.43 lakhs) and 0.1% in Uttarakhand (12,434). However, the land area is much larger. Ladakh is one third of J and K. Buddhist border region of Arunachal Pradesh likewise stretches all along the Sino- India border. All are residing in strategic and sensitive border regions. 3 According to Ministry of Home Affairs Annual Report 2008-2009 , population of Tibetan refugees in India is 1,10,095.
