Ladakh, situated at breath-taking altitudes (11500 ft andabove) in the Himalayas offers both irresistible and awe-inspiring beauty whichnature has bestowed on it. But, unfortunately, despite its being sensitive and strategic,it has remained neglected for along time. This book gives a lucid account ofLadakh's geographical profile, historical background, regional, social structureand customs and the whole gamut of its post-independence problems anddevelopments. Events of interest and importance with some untold developmentswhich comprise an integral part of the history of this region have also beendiscussed in the book. With its composite theme coveringdiverse facets of Ladakh, it is hoped the book will serve as a standardreference book on the region.
