Support: Dept of Anthropology and Ethnography, University of Aarhus. 1 EDITORIAL Once again I must apologize for the long delay in bringing out this issue of Ladakh Studies. 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 have enjoyed producing the newsletter over the past years and I hope that Ladakh Studies has been useful and informative. Certainly the newsletter can be improved considerably in a number of areas. It would be very useful for the new editor to have a sense of what readers think about the current format and contents of LS, and what they find missing, so I would like to ask you to send us your suggestions. Elsewhere in this issue, you will find some questions about LS which you may find helpful in formulating your input. Please send your suggestions to me with a copy to John Bray. Hopefully, the new editor can introduce necessary changes to the newsletter, whether it is to continue in print or (also?) in electronic form. People who are interested in taking over the editorship are requested to contact John Bray. Of course, I will be happy to share information with possible candidates for the editorship about what the job has entailed during my tenure. Please note that the editor’s responsibilities do not include the printing and distribution of the newsletter, which are taken care of by Bristol University Print Services and Francesca Merritt, respectively. I should also like to note that most of the news items are being provided by Nasir Hussain via e-mail, an invaluable service that has considerably reduced the workload for the editor. Martijn van Beek ERRATA LS 19 * The photograph of Kushok Bakula Rinpoche with the Duke of Edinburgh was not taken in 1995, but at Queen Elizabeth’s Golden Jubilee in 2003. * Bray’s Bibliography Update was nr. 15, not 14, as was wrongly stated in the Table of Contents of LS19. 2 FROM THE HONORARY SECRETARY This letter brings you warm greetings from a cold but crisp Tokyo. Japan marks the calendar rather than the lunar New Year, so we entered the Year of the Dog on 1 January. In early February, for good measure, we celebrated the Setsubun festival which involves throwing soya beans to expel any lingering demons from the previous year. So we are now well into 2006… Looking back at last year, I take particular pleasure at the memory of the 12th IALS colloquium in Kargil: this edition of Ladakh Studies carries a separate report on this event. We owe particular thanks to all our Kargil friends for organising it. Full details have yet to be confirmed, but we are hoping to hold the next colloquium in Rome, possibly in September 2007. The local convenor will be Elena de Rossi Filibeck who teaches at the University of Rome. Elena is a pupil of Luciano Petech, who of course is well known for his research on the history of Ladakh. Her own work includes a catalogue of the Tibetan collection of Giuseppe Tucci, the well-known Italian scholar who visited Ladakh in the 1930s. Elena herself led a group of students to Ladakh this last summer, and her recent publications include a translation and commentary on an extract of Joseph Gergan's La dvags rgyal rabs chi med gter dealing with Spiti. In holding the conference in Rome, we hope to build on an existing tradition of links between Ladakh, Rome and international scholarship. Meanwhile, work is in progress on several other fronts. We are planning to re-launch the IALS website with the domain name www.ladakhstudies.org, and Henry Osmaston has been working with an Internet specialist in Cardiff on its initial design. We hope that this will be a vehicle for regular updates, reports and other contributions. Until now, we have never held any events between our biennial colloquia, and I am keen to explore the possibility that we might do so in the future. For example, might there be scope for more informal seminars, perhaps with a combination of one or two Ladakhi and international speakers, in Leh and Kargil during the summer? Please let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas on this front. As also announced elsewhere in this issue, Martijn van Beek is proposing to stand down from his editorship of Ladakh Studies after the next issue. Along with our customary call for articles and other contributions, we are therefore issuing a call for one or more people to succeed him. The timing of Martijn's stepping down is linked to his plans for a sabbatical year which will involve extensive travel in Asia and elsewhere. He has brought energy, enthusiasm and an eye for detail to his task. We all owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. John Bray 3 WWW.LADAKHSTUDIES.ORG Good News!_The IALS website is now extensively revised and expanded, and is reinstalled on a new host server. The new internet address is above which will be a lot easier to remember than the previous one and will I hope attract more visits (though most of the visits so far recorded on the counter probably derive from mine to check progress)._ The revision has been quite laborious, even involving my sculpting of the logo and the Tibetan and Urdu texts pixel by pixel to try to improve them. We owe Thierry Dodin many thanks for originally setting up our site which has been very successful in coming top of the list in Google if one searches for "Ladakh studies"._ It may take a little time before the new site attains this position, so in the meantime I shall ask him to keep the old one open with a notice redirecting to the new one. The technical reconstruction of the site has been done by Kevin Trueman of KTSX (Business & Home Solutions) who has been most helpful in overcoming various problems which arose._ For instance different browser programmes (e.g. Internet Explorer which most people use and Mozilla Firefox which I use) do not always read_ or display the data in exactly the same form._ Please let me know if you encounter difficulties or apparent errors._ If you like the site we should be pleased to know. Each month we shall have an opportunity to amend or add to the site. If you have criticisms or suggestions for its improvement please tell the Executive Committee and we will consider them._ In principle we shall welcome these but obviously our reaction may be influenced by whether you yourself are prepared to provide any necessary material or effort. Henry Osmaston 4 NEW EDITOR FOR LADAKH STUDIES Martijn van Beek is stepping down as editor of Ladakh Studies after the present issue, having served in that role with distinction since 1997. Over the years Martijn has put tremendous effort into the editorship, amidst many other pressures. The production and publication of Ladakh Studies is one of the most important IALS activities, and we have all benefited from his professionalism. We are now looking for a new editor-or possibly a team of two or more editors-to take over from Martijn. At present, editorial responsibilities include the collection of materials for publication, correspondence with contributors, copy editing, lay-out and production of a mastercopy, which is sent to Bristol University Print services for printing. The newsletter is mailed to members by Hon. Membership Secretary Francesca Merritt. The new editor(s) should be prepared to take over in the course of 2006 and should have access to the necessary computer and internet facilities. Potential candidates are encouraged to contact Hon. Sec. John Bray ([email protected]). For information about the current tasks and time involved in the editorship, please contact Martijn van Beek ([email protected]).

  • OU1901 092-099 Feature Cycling Ladakh
    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.

  • The Borderlands and Borders of the Indian Subcontinent, New Delhi: Aryan Books International, 2018, Pp 232
    Book Discussion Dilip K Chakrabarti: The Borderlands and Borders of the Indian Subcontinent, New Delhi: Aryan Books International, 2018, pp 232 Understanding Indian Borderlands Dilip K Chakrabarti he Indian subcontinent shares borders with Iran, Afghanistan, the plateau of Tibet Tand Myanmar. The sub-continent’s influence extends beyond these borders, creating distinct ‘borderlands’ which are basically geographical, political, economic and religious interaction zones. It is these ‘borderlands’ which historically constitute the subcontinent’s ‘area of influence’ and underlines its civilizational role in the Asian landmass. A clear understanding of this civilizational role may be useful in strengthening India’s perception of her own geo-strategic position. Iran One may begin with Iran at the western limit of these borderland. There are two main mountain ranges in Iran : the Zagros which separates Iran from Iraq and has to its south the plain of Khuzestan giving access to south Iraq ; and the Elburz which separates the inland Iran from the Caspian belt, Turkmenistan and (to a limited extent , Azerbaijan). The Caspian shores form a well-wooded verdant belt which poses a strong contrast to the dry Iranian plateau. There are two deserts inside the Iranian plateau -- dasht-i-lut and dasht-i-kevir, which do not encourage human habitation. The population concentration of Iran is along the margins of the mountain belt and also in Khuzestan. The following facts are noteworthy. The eastern rim of Iran carries an imprint of the subcontinent. There is a ready access to Iranian Baluchistan through the Kej valley in Pakistani Baluchistan. At its eastern edge this valley leads both to lower Sindh and Kalat.

  • 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.
