About this book

Ravina Aggarwal approaches the Kashmir conflict not through the usual geopolitical and security lens, but through the lives of people in the frontier districts beside the Line of Control, the boundary separating India from Pakistan.

The focus is Ladakh. The region sits high in the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges, with Pakistan lying to its west and Tibet to its east. The book shows how the shadow of war shapes life for the region's Buddhist and Muslim communities.

The author argues that Ladakh's cultural history and politics deserve a place in debates about the status of Kashmir.
