Download or read book L Affaire Ladakh written by Reenu Khurana and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 25 years, Miraya is back in the mystic and magnificent mountains of Ladakh to spearhead her “Class of 88” school reunion trek. On her maiden visit to the land of Las and Tsos as a young lieutenant of the Indian Army, Miraya was part of a trans-Himalayan trekking expedition from Khardung La to Pithoragarh. Traversing 1700 KM on foot for over two months, braving exhaustion and a near life-threatening avalanche, Miraya had also bared her soul and cried her heart out for her unrequited first love. The mighty mountains, meandering rivers and mesmerizing meadows instead gifted her renewed joie de vivre. Decades later, in the same landscape, all her deep entrenched emotions, longing and memories surge to the surface. Who was the person her heart had cried out for 25 years back? Why was she to meet him for the very first time in Ladakh? Was the Universe conspiring to bring them together in its veritable vistas? Or Does the land she considers to be the Mecca of Life offer a new insight? Read on L'affaire Ladakh for the affair to unfold!
Download or read book Modern Ladakh written by Martijn van Beek and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern history of Ladakh has been profoundly shaped by influences from South Asia and beyond. In detailed empirical case-studies the contributors document and analyse change and continuities in this region brought about by colonialism, independence and modernisation. In an introductory review essay highlighting emerging themes and continuing debates in the scholarship on Ladakh, the editors argue for the need to situate Ladakh in an Indian and South Asian context, while also taking into account its cultural, linguistic and historical ties with Tibet. Studies from the neighbouring (sub)regions of Kargil, Ladakh, Zangskar and Baltistan are brought together to make an important contribution to the anthropological and sociological literature on development and modernity, as well as to Ladakh, Tibetan and South Asian studies.

Download or read book My Frozen Turbulence in Kashmir 12th Edition Reprint 2019 written by Jagmohan and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 1991-09-20 with total page 924 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Frozen Turbulence in Kashmir, the Twelfth Edition of which is now being released, is a land-mark publication. It narrates and analyses not only the tumultuous events of the author’s two terms of Governorship but also of subsequent developments which underline how a tragic blunder of truly historic proportion was committed by the power that be at the Union Government level by not seeing the warning signals hoisted by him. The updated Edition shows how the combined onslaught of subversive, separatists and pro-Pakistan elements was faced, particularly in the wake of Burhan Wani’s death. It also shows how the outrageous perfidies of the genre of Uri terror attack were dealt with by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and how a New Resolve was formulated by him with seven ingredients, viz: (I) Exposure of Pakistan at UN Assembly; (II) Boycott of 19th SAARC Summit; (III) Revisiting Indus Water Treaty and Most Favoured Nation Status; (IV) Surgical Strike; (V) Baring the Ugly Face of Pakistani Bred Terrorism At the Multilateral Forum of BRICS; (VI) Deeper Exposure of Pakistan at HEART of Asia-Afghanistan Conference; (VII) Highlighting the Continued Violations of Human Rights in Balochistan and PoK, and Countering Pakistan’s Diabolical Disinformation Campaign with Regard to Kashmir. Finally, the Edition assesses the promise, performance and potential of the new helmsman. It ends with the hope of emergence of a new pattern which is appeasement-free, terror-free, and in which the noblest strands and sinews of India’s cultural heritage of treating service to man as service to God are regenerated, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, providing an illuminating avenue for reaching the goal of a mighty, enlightened and forward-looking India.

Download or read book International Tourism written by Marie-Françoise Lanfant and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1995-08-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `This book is one of several indications that the sociology of tourism is on the move.... these articles raise relevant important themes in the study of tourism.... The contributors to this very readable book provide valuable insights, many of which have been derived from empirical research, that should interest anyone involved in the study of international tourism. And by moving us away from polarised positions over the social impact of tourism toward more complex but also more considered perspectives they have also helped alter the agenda for future research′ - David Harrison, University of Sussex Tourism is becoming an increasingly prominent feature of contemporary life. More of us travel for pleasure than ever before, yet the social scientific literature on tourism is relatively scant. This book provides an original contribution to the field of tourist studies. The contributors to International Tourism reconceptualize the local and the global, avoiding such crude oppositions as centre v periphery, modern v traditional, macro v micro and North v South. Instead, they demonstrate that the local cannot be understood without the global, and that the global can never be isolated from the regional setting within which it operates. Providing new insights into theories of touristic practice, this volume places tourism within the same framework as other transnational global studies.
Download or read book Tibet le pays sacrifi written by Claude Arpi and published by Bouquineo. This book was released on 2011-02-21 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le 7 octobre 1950, l’Armée populaire de libération franchit le Yangtsé et anéantit les défenses tibétaines. À Lhassa, le gouvernement minimise l’invasion dans l’espoir de négocier avec la Chine de Mao, puis fait appel à l’ONU. Soutenu par un seul pays – le Salvador – sa demande d’inscrire la « question tibétaine » aux débats du Conseil de sécurité est ajournée. Voici la réédition de l’ouvrage de référence sur le destin politique du Tibet qui manquait au public francophone. L’auteur ne se contente pas de retracer les grandes étapes de l’histoire du Toit du monde et de montrer comment, depuis le Ve siècle jusqu’à l’occupation par la Chine communiste, le Tibet a toujours su préserver un équilibre entre ses puissants voisins. Il lève le voile sur les véritables raisons de la chute du Tibet. Les chapitres sur le rôle du Premier ministre indien, Nehru, et sur les atermoiements des pays occidentaux sont particulièrement éclairants. Grâce à ses recherches dans des archives indiennes, russes et américaines récemment ouvertes aux chercheurs, à ses nombreuses relations dans le monde diplomatique et militaire indien, grâce aussi à ses contacts tibétains – en particulier une longue amitié avec le dalaï-lama –, Claude Arpi nous livre la face cachée d’un drame toujours tragiquement d’actualité.

Kane, Paul (Irish-Canadian painter) or Kain, Karen (Canadian dancer)? Shakespearean or Shakesperean?
