  • The Spituk Monastery of Ladakh the Spituk Monastery of Ladakh Is
    The Spituk Monastery of Ladakh by traveldesk The Spituk Monastery of Ladakh is situated at a distance of approximately 8 km from the town of Leh. Towering over a conical, the 3-chapel monastery dates back to the 11th century, when it was founded century by Od-de, the elder brother of Lha Lama Changchub Od. He was the one to introduce a monastic community here. When a translator, Rinchen Zangpo, came to this place, he said that an exemplary religious community would develop there. This statement led to the naming of the monastery as Spituk, meaning Exemplary. During that time, Spituk Gompa belonged to the Kadampa School. With the progress of time, it came under Dharmaraja Takspa Bum- Lde Lama Lhawang Lotus. After restoring the monastery, he introduced the stainless order of Tsongkhapa there. Till date, the Spitok Monastery of Leh Ladakh is following this order only. Inside the monastery, the main statue is that of Lord Buddha. Then, there is also a sacred image of Amitayus. The image, about a finger high in length, was presented by Tsongkhapa to Takspa Bum-Lde. It also contains five Thankas and a collection of ancient masks, antique arms, along with a splendid image of Mahakaal. One of the major attractions of the Spituk Monastery is the Gustor Festival. An annual event, the festival takes place from the 27th to 29th day of the 11th Tibetan month. During this festival, the sacred dance is also held. The other monasteries of Stok, Sankar and Saboo in Ladakh, are branches of the Spituk Monastery only.

  • Development and Displacement in Chenab Valley After Construction of Power Project at Kishtwar
    THE COMMUNICATIONS Vol. 21, No. 1 (2012) DEVELOPMENT AND DISPLACEMENT IN CHENAB VALLEY AFTER CONSTRUCTION OF POWER PROJECT AT KISHTWAR Touseef Iqbal Butt* Abstract Has the regional displacement widened in the post-reform period? This study attempts to probe into this by analysing growth rates of aggregate and sectoral domestic product of major states in the pre (1980s) and post-reform (1990s) decades. Our results indicate that while the growth rate of gross domestic product has improved only marginally in the post-reform decade, the regional displacement and developments in state domestic product has widened much more drastically. Industrial states are now growing much faster than the backward states, and there is no evidence of convergence of growth rates among states. Even more disturbing is that there is now an inverse relationship between local population growth and migrational saturation. The cultural values of societies are now in a new era. The very well socio-economic collaboration stream led to make a strong change in entire society. This has a very serious implication for employment and the political economy of India. India is already in a growing in term of power projects and developmental world but where the people enjoys the benefits and fruit of developments other hand they have to become the part of displacement form their native place and the resources and sources of their own has been the finalized by the legal authorities and this research paper is extremely based on the regional displacement with effect of the development. All the societal life imbibes the values of the socio-cultural and the socio-economic asserts as a whole.
