  • Political Unrest in Ladakh Buddhist’S Main
    Political unrest in Ladakh Buddhist’s main victims Some radical elements within LUTF may take advantage of the situation and give new dimension to the dormant sentiment in the mind of Ladakhi Buddhists. Clearly Leh is heading for more turbulence in the coming days. By G L Jalali Ladakh is the remotest part of J&K state, mostly inhabited by the Budhists who have close religious and cultural affinity with the Tibetan Buddhists situated at the highest altitude, Ladakh is generally called the “Roof of the World”. It is surrounded on all sides by rugged mountains which cut it off from the rest of the country. Its total area is about 32,000 square miles and total population is about two lakhs, majority of whom are the Buddhists. During Muslim rule, a good number of Ladakhi Buddhists were forcibly converted to Islam. So, at present a large number of these neo-converted Muslims live in Ladakh and Kargil districts. Kargil, which was part of Ladakh district, was separated to constitute a predominantly Shia district for political reasons in early seventies. Ladakh, on all counts, is the most backward part of India where majority of the Ladakh Buddhists earn their livelihood by raring Yaks and cultivating a kind of barley known as “Grim” in their fields. They mostly remain engrossed in religion and performing religious rituals. Their life remains centered round monasteries called Gompas. Their art and learning is concentrated in the Gompas which remain under the control of a local Lama who is both religious and temporal head of the local people.
