More about the book
Focusing on the Bhotiyas, a Scheduled Tribe of India and former trans-Himalayan traders, this book examines their historical and contemporary challenges in the Kumaon Himalaya region, situated at the crossroads of India, Tibet, and Nepal. Through extensive research, it highlights how the Bhotiyas have navigated colonial influences, asserted their identity for legal recognition, and adapted their pastoral practices amidst state and market changes. The study illustrates the Himalayan border as a dynamic site of political agency and action for diverse communities.
