Modern Ladakh : anthropological perspectives on continuity and change

Modern Ladakh : anthropological perspectives on continuity and change / edited by Martijn van Beek and Fernanda Pirie.

Arguing for the need to situate Ladakh in a South Asian context, albeit not neglecting its ties with Tibet, this volume brings together empirical studies from the region to analyse the change and continuity resulting from colonialism, independence and modernisation.
