RADHIKA GUPTA MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF RELIGIOUS & ETHNIC DIVERSITY THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING LADAKHI: AFFECT AND ARTIFICE IN KARGIL Ladakh often tends to be associated predominantly with its Tibetan Buddhist inhabitants in the wider public imagination both in India and abroad. It comes as a surprise to many that half the population of this region is Muslim, the majority belonging to the Twelver Shi‘i sect and living in Kargil district. This article will discuss the importance of being Ladakhi for Kargili Shias through an ethnographic account of a journey I shared with a group of cultural activists from Leh to Kargil.

  • Ginger: a Khotanese Loanword in Modern Purik-Tibetan
    GINGER: A KHOTANESE LOANWORD IN MODERN PURIK-TIBETAN ROLAND BIELMEIER (BERN) In the eighties and nineties of the last century Ronald E. Emmerick and I used to exchange letters and emails from time to time on language contact between Khotanese and Tibetan. It is now some fourteen years since I informed him in 1997 that I had found that the Khotanese word for ‘ginger’ is still in use today in certain varieties of modern Purik-Tibetan. It was his teacher, Harold W. Bailey, who apud ROSS 1952: 15 first pointed out that the Khotanese word ttuṃgara- ‘ginger’ was borrowed into Written Tibetan (WT) as doṅ gra. This is mentioned by Emmerick in his contribution to the Gedenkschrift for Giuseppe Tucci (EMMERICK 1985: 313 [13]), where he added that in chapter 2.17 of Ravigupta’s Siddhasāra Khotanese “ttāṃgare corresponds to Sanskrit nāgara and to Tibetan li doṅ gra. li in the Tibetan li doṅ gra designates Khotan, as pointed out by B. LAUFER, TP, 1916, 455-6, n.1.” For more details, especially further variants of the Khotanese word see BAILEY 1979: 130, where he proposed an Indo-European etymology deriving it from “*tuvam-kara-, with *tuva- ‘swollen, tuber, rhizome’, hence the ginger root, to base tau-: tu- ‘to swell’”. This etymological analysis is unreplaced up to now. Due to the addition of WT li abbreviated for WT li yul ‘Khotan’, there can hardly be any doubt that Tibetan has borrowed from Khotanese and not vice versa. In the BTC (2779a), at present the most comprehensive Tibetan dictionary containing material from Classical as well as from Modern Written Tibetan, li doṅ gra is explained as sga dmar gyi miṅ gźan źig (a different name for red ginger).

These structural units are separated from each other by ophiolitic melange zones. In the midst of the Tibetan Zone of Zanskar the Spongtang outlier is evidence that the Lamayuru Unit, the Dras Flysch-Volcanic Zone, ophiolitic melange, and peridotite masses have been overthrust towards the SW onto the Tibetan Zone for at least 30 km.

Introduction In 1984 we had the possibility to undertake an entomological expedition to the north of India, the districts Kashmir and Ladakh, in the North-West Himalayas. We started the trip on July 1 1 , accompanied by Mrs. Maris Vis and Isabel and Jean Claude Weiss. On July 13 Nishat Gardens were visited, situated along Dal Lake, some kilometers from Srinagar. From Srinagar, we travelled by jeep or taxi to Leh (3500 m), arriving on July 19. On our way, collecting was possible, mainly on high passes such as Zoji-la (3600 m), Namika-la (3700 m) and Fotu-la (4100 m).

  • India Zanskar
    INDIA ZANSKAR Il Regno Perduto Da Leh a Srinagar attraverso la remota Valle dello Zanskar tra imponenti montagne, antichi monasteri e popoli di religione buddhista e mussulmana. 16 giorni - in hotel, resort e campo tendato 3 passeggeri per auto Un originale itinerario dal Kashmir al Ladakh che consente di conoscere le vallate più recondite e i superbi panorami dell’Himalaya. Dall’affascinante Srinagar, adagiata sulla riva dell’incantevole Lago Dal, alla cittadina di Kargil, che segna il limite orientale dell’incursione mussulmana in Ladakh. Poi verso sud lungo il corso del fiume Suru per fare ingresso nella remota e aspra valle dello Zanskar, di cultura e religione buddhista, costellata di piccoli villaggi e monasteri: Rangdum, Dzongkhul, Sani, Padum, Karsha, Stongdey, Zangla… la valle ha persino il suo re, sebbene tale carica oggi sia puramente formale e simbolica. Da novembre a maggio questo piccolo Regno Perduto è completamente tagliato fuori dal mondo esterno, il ghiaccio ostruisce i valichi di accesso e la valle giace sotto una silenziosa coltre di neve. In estate gli abitanti producono e mettono da parte le provviste per i lunghi mesi invernali. Si continua per Lamayuru con il suo antico monastero appollaiato sulla cima di un torreggiante sperone roccioso nel bel mezzo di un bizzarro paesaggio lunare. Quindi la valle di Dah-Hanu dove vive una sparuta comunità di Dardi, probabilmente discendenti dalle milizie erranti di Alessandro Magno. Infine i meravigliosi affreschi del Monastero di Alchi prima di giungere a Leh. PROGRAMMA DI VIAGGIO – Partenze Estate 2019 1° giorno / Italia – Delhi Partenza al mattino con volo di linea per Delhi via scalo intermedio.
