  • Political History of Ladakh ( Pre 9Th to 12 Th CE)
    Historical Research Letter www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3178 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0964 (Online) Vol.41, 2017 Political History of Ladakh ( Pre 9th to 12 th CE) Mohd Ashraf Dar Ph.D Research Scholar S.O.S in A.I.H.C & Archaeology, Vikram University, Ujjain (M.P.) JRF ICHR Abstract Ladakh is the Northern most division of Indian Union which falls in Jammu and Kashmir state. Generally the recorded history of Ladakh begins with the coming of Tibetans to Ladakh in the late 9th CE. This paper is an attempt to string together the Pre 9th political history and the post 9th political history of Ladakh till 12 th CE. For this purpose folk lore and oral traditions have been employed as well in order to logically fill the lacunae in the pre 9th CE history of Ladakh. This paper also provides a geographical glimpse of Ladakh. Keywords : Ladakh, Geographical, Political, Chronicle, Tibet, Ladakhi Kingdom. Introduction Ladakh is known by various names like Mar-yul 1 (The Red land), La-tags 2, Land of Lamas and the Moon city 3etc. In fact Ladakh has been named by many people on the basis of their first glimpse of the land. The `multinomial nature of Ladakh depicts its versatility in the geo-ethnic milieu of the world itself. Speaking in terms of geography, Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir state can be divided into seven parts, lower (Sham ), Upper (tod ), Central (Zhang ), Nubra, Chang-thang, Purig and Zanskar. But in typical geographical terms the whole region can be divided into three major sub geographical regions.

  • Ladakh: Land of High Passes, Part I
    Ladakh: Land of High Passes PART I Tourism: Savior or Destroyer? IY PRAMILA JAYAPAL MUSSOURIE, India November 1995 I was not prepared for Ladakh. I had read about it. I knew about its barren beauty and majestic scenery. I knew that it was more Tibe- tan than Tibet, now that Tibet is a Chinese-occupied territory. But still, when our plane from Delhi flew through the narrow mountain gorges and I saw the snow-tipped peaks all around us with wisps of cloud encircling their tips, I felt unprepared to absorb the grandeur, the sense of complete remoteness, the feeling of vulnerability next to the enormity of nature. According to the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, Vishnu (the Pre- server of Life in the Hindu divine trinity) lived on the shore of a great sea with two seagulls. Every year, no matter where the female seagull laid her eggs, the sea would come in and wash them away in its raging waters. The seagulls finally appealed to Lord Vishnu for help. Vishnu rescued them by opening up his mouth and swallow- ing the seamin its place lay Earth. Then Vishnu slept, exhausted from his feat. While he slept, the demon Hiranyankisha leapt on Mother Earth and raped her so brutally that her limbs were broken and levered up, high into the clouds, forming the Himalayas. The intensity and brutality of this legend accurately reflect the bar- ren, intimidating grandeur of the Himalayas, within whose rain shadow Ladakh is nestled. It does not, however, do justice to the ab- solute perfection and magnificence of the land.

It was an atypical visit. Atypical because, of the seven Prime Ministers which China has had since 1949, he was the first one to visit the land which China had occupied forcibly after a military conflict in the Qamdo area of the Western Kham after crossing the Jinsha River on September 06, 1950.
