  • The Eastern Himalaya an Introduction
    10 The Eastern Himalaya An Introduction Michael Ward Photographs 2-6 The portion ofthe Himalaya extending from Sikkim to Namcha Barwa is not well known to European mountaineers and travellers. In his book 'Abode of Snow' Kenneth Mason groups the whole into one section terming it the Assam Himalaya. This is an unsatisfactory definition as the Himalayan peaks lie on the borders of three politically distinct regions - the Kingdom of Bhutan, the North-East Frontier Agency of India and Tibet. Namcha Barwa (7756m) is usually considered to be the easternmost peak of the main Himalayan chain but beyond, many peaks lie in Assam, Burma and China. These ranges run usually north-south at right angles to the main Himalaya which generally follows an east-west axis, and are named the Heng Duan Shan. This is a region ofspectacular river gorges and the Tsangpo runs between Gyela Peri and Namcha Barwa, nearly circling the latter peak before changing its name to the Dihang then Brahmaputra and joining the Ganges. The climate varies from the arctic aridity ofthe Tibetan plateau to the lush wetness ofthe Tropics and the plant and animal life is unbelievably varied. For geographical convenience it might be reasonable to divide the Eastern Himalaya into the Bhutan Himal and the Tsangpo Himal. The exploration ofmuch ofTsangpo Himal was carried out by the Pandits, by Bailey and Morshead as well as by Kingdon Ward, Ludlow, Sherriff and Taylor during their plant hunting expeditions. More recently Chinese scientists have worked in this region from the Tibetan side. The Bhutan Himal has been visited in addition by Gansser, Tyson, Jackson, Turner, Ward and Steele, usually for scientific reasons, and a considerable amount oftopographical knowledge has been obtained.

  • Deoli Camp: an Oral History of Chinese Indians from 1962 to 1966
    Deoli Camp: An Oral History of Chinese Indians from 1962 to 1966 by Kwai-Yun Li A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Kwai-Yun Li 2011 Deoli Camp: An Oral History of Chinese Indians from 1962 to 1966 Kwai-Yun Li Master of Arts Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto 2011 Abstract China and India claimed two territories along their borders on the Himalayas: Aksai Chin in the west and the North-East Frontier Agency in the east. The border dispute escalated and, on October 20, 1962, the Chinese People‘s Liberation Army (PLA) opened fire on the two fronts and advanced into the disputed territories. One month later, on November 21, China declared a unilateral ceasefire and withdrew behind its disputed line of control. In response, the Indian government arrested over 2,000 Chinese living in India and interned them in Deoli, Rajasthan. When the Chinese were released between 1964 and 1966, they found their properties sold off by the Indian government. Many left India and immigrated to Canada. I interviewed four Indian- born Chinese who were interned and who now live in the Greater Toronto Area. I recorded their accounts of life in Deoli Detention Camp in Rajasthan. ii Acknowledgments Chris Liu of Hakka Helping Hands assisted me in the first step of my project by helping me search for Deoli internees who live in the Greater Toronto Area.

  • HIMALAYAN REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY.Indd
    www.iasscore.in UNIT: I HIMALAYAN REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY 6 www.iasscore.in CHAPTER HIMALAYAN 1 PHYSIOGRAPHY The Himalayas form the highest mountain range in the world, extending 2,500 km over northern India. Bounded by the Indus River in the west and the Brahmaputra in the east, the three parallel ranges, the Himadri, Himachal and Shivaliks have deep canyons gorged by the rivers fl owing into the Gangetic plain. Northern Mountain complex can be divided into two parts. Geographically Himalayas and trans Himalayas are separate entities. Parts of Northern Mountain Complex ! Trans Himalayas ! The Himalayas ! The Eastern or Purvachal Hills Trans Himalayas Formation When Eurassian plate completely subducted the Indian Oceanic plate, continent ocean convergence took place between Indian continental crust and Eurassian oceanic crust which led to subduction of oceanic plate. Basaltic oceanic fl oor of Eurassian plate went into Indian plate and came out in the form of Andesitic rock on the margin of the plate. This range was formed as ‘Karakoram range’ formed on border of Eurrasian. They are not part of Himalayas. Location It is situated to the north of the Great Himalayas. It has Karakoram Ladakh, Zaskar and Kailash mountain range. The Karakoram range is called the backbone of high Asia. The mountainous complexities of the Himalayan region can be understood in a simple way with the help of the given fi gure. The Indus river fl ows between Zaskar and ladakha ranges. It creates the deepest gorge in India (5200 m deep) by cutting Ladakh range at the place named Bunzi. Main ranges: ! Zaskar range (India) ! Ladakh range (India) ! Karakoram range (India/Pakistan/China) ! Kailash range (in Tibet) Zaskar range ! Nanga Parbat (8126 m) and Deosai mountain are important parts of it.

  • Establishing Primary Surface Rupture Evidence and Magnitude of the 1697 CE Sadiya Earthquake at the Eastern Himalayan Frontal Thrust, India Arjun Pandey1, R
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Establishing primary surface rupture evidence and magnitude of the 1697 CE Sadiya earthquake at the Eastern Himalayan Frontal thrust, India Arjun Pandey1, R. Jayangondaperumal1,2*, György Hetényi3, Rao Singh Priyanka2, Ishwar Singh1, Pradeep Srivastava1 & Hari B. Srivastava4 Historical archives refer to often recurring earthquakes along the Eastern Himalaya for which geological evidence is lacking, raising the question of whether these events ruptured the surface or remained blind, and how do they contribute to the seismic budget of the region, which is home to millions of inhabitants. We report a frst mega trench excavation at Himebasti village, Arunachal Pradesh, India, and analyze it with modern geological techniques. The study includes twenty-one radiocarbon dates to limit the timing of displacement after 1445 CE, suggesting that the area was devastated in the 1697 CE event, known as Sadiya Earthquake, with a dip-slip displacement of 15.3 ± 4.6 m. Intensity prediction equations and scaling laws for earthquake rupture size allow us to constraints a magnitude of Mw 7.7–8.1 and a minimum rupture length of ~ 100 km for the 1697 CE earthquake. Historical archives document massive destruction in the eastern Himalaya during closely time-spaced earth- quakes in Late-Medieval times 1,2. Tese earthquakes sometimes ruptured the Himalayan Frontal Trust (HFT) at the surface, or remained blind, like the 2015 Gorkha earthquake 3. However, blind events rupture the down- dip segment of the MHT (Main Himalayan Trust) and thus transfer stress to the locked up-dip portion of this megathrust, which eventually breaks in subsequent, great earthquakes4.

ABSTRACT The purpose of the present thesis is to analyse British policy on the north-east frontier of India between 1865 and 1914* The recent dispute between India and China over this area gives added significance to this subject. Until the early years of the twentieth century, the govern­ ment was concerned with the local problem of dealing with the tribesmen of the frontier. There was no pressure of a foreign power to make this frontier a subject of international importance.
