  • 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.

As announced in the previous issue of Ladakh Studies, the continuing difficult situation in Kargil forced a shift of venue to Leh. Details regarding the conference, as far as they are available at this time, are provided elsewhere in this issue. Most importantly, however, members based outside of Ladakh should begin making their travel arrangements in good time. The colloquium will be held at the very end of August, just prior to the Ladakh Festival, and this means that there will be many other people trying to get in and out of Leh.

  • 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.
