Book Description
Excerpt from The Himalayan Districts of Kooloo, Lahoul, and SpitiIt was, at one time, my desire to have first written the history of Kooloo, the rough notes of which I have for a long time had by me; but there were difficulties regarding dates, which I have not yet been able to clear up; and as I had not time this year to do both the History and the General Account of the subdivision, I have elected to postpone the former till a more fitting opportunity may occur.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
A rare look at the history of Himalayan peasant society and the relationship between culture and environment in the Himalayas. Himalayan Histories, by one of Indias most reputed historians of the Himalaya, is essential for a more complete understanding of Indian history. Because Indian historians have mainly studied riverine belts and life in the plains, sophisticated mountain histories are relatively rare. In this book, Chetan Singh identifies essential aspects of the material, mental, and spiritual world of western Himalayan peasant society. Human enterprise and mountainous terrain long existed in a precarious balance, occasionally disrupted by natural adversity, in this large and difficult region. Small peasant communities lived in scattered environmental niches and tenaciously extracted from their harsh surroundings a rudimentary but sustainable livelihood. These communities were integral constituents of larger political economies that asserted themselves through institutions of hegemonic control, the state being one such institution. This laboriously created life-world was enlivened by myth, folklore, legend, and religious tradition. When colonial rule was established in the region during the nineteenth century, it transformed the peasants relationship with their natural surroundings. While old political allegiances were weakened, resilient customary hierarchies retained their influence through religio-cultural practices.
