Peace and conflict in Ladakh the construction of a fragile web of order

Pirie, Fernanda 1964- (Author).

Summary: Long caught between powerful neighbours, Ladakh is a border region in the vast Indian nation state. This detailed, anthropological study traces the ways order has been created by, but also despite and in defiance of, the powerful external forces of religion, war, politics and wealth.
