Download or read book Blank on the Map written by Eric Shipton and published by Vertebrate Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'As I studied the maps, one thing about them captured my imagination - Across this blank space was written one challenging word, "Unexplored"' In 1937 two of the twentieth century's greatest explorers set off to explore an unknown area of the Himalaya, the breath-taking Shaksgam mountains. With a team of surveyors and Sherpas, Eric Shipton and H.W. Tilman located and mapped the land around K2, the second-highest mountain in the world. It was their greatest venture, and one that paved the way for all future mountaineering in that area of the Himalaya. For Shipton and Tilman, exploration was everything, with a summit a welcome bonus, and Blank on the Map is the book that best captures their spirit of adventure. With an observant eye and keen sense of humour, Shipton tells how the expedition entered the unknown Shaksgam mountains, crossing impenetrable gorges, huge rivers and endless snow fields. There's a very human element to in Shipton's dealings with his Sherpa friends, and with his Balti porters, some of whom were helpful, while some were less so. The expedition uncovers traces of ancient cultures and visits vibrant modern civilisations living during the last days of the British Empire. Only when all supplies are exhausted, their clothes in tatters and all equipment lost do the men finally return home. A mountain exploration classic.

Book Synopsis Muslim Communities and Cultures of the Himalayas by : Jacqueline H. Fewkes
Download or read book Muslim Communities and Cultures of the Himalayas written by Jacqueline H. Fewkes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book chronicles individual perspectives and specific iterations of Muslim community, practice, and experience in the Himalayan region to bring into scholarly conversation the presence of varying Muslim cultures in the Himalaya. The Himalaya provide a site of both geographic and cultural crossroads, where Muslim community is simultaneously constituted at multiple social levels, and to that end the essays in this book document a wide range of local, national, and global interests while maintaining a focus on individual perspectives, moments in time, and localized experiences. It presents research that contributes to a broadly conceived notion of the Himalaya that enriches readers’ understandings of both the region and concepts of Muslim community and highlights the interconnections between multiple experiences of Muslim community at local levels. Drawing attention to the cultural, social, artistic, and political diversity of the Himalaya beyond the better understood and frequently documented religio-cultural expressions of the region, this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of Anthropology, Geography, History, Religious Atudies, Asian Studies, and Islamic Studies.

Book Synopsis Hitch Hiking to India in 1962 by : John Waller
Download or read book Hitch Hiking to India in 1962 written by John Waller and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1962, two Cambridge students hitchhike to India, before hippies hit the trail. Andrew writes a diary, the comedy. John reads the map, thumbs throughout the night and now writes about the history, which make for tragedy. They travel through Yugoslavia where Catholic Croats had massacred Orthodox Serbians and Serbs would later murder 8,000 Muslims, Greece where 1.3 million Christians had been 'exchanged' for 480,000 Muslims, and Turkey where 600,000 Christian Armenians had died when deported to the Syrian desert where ISIS is now based. In Iran John faces a life-threatening mob following the CIA coup. In India, they meet anger over the partition just 14 years before, when 12 million became refugees and well over a half a million were killed because of their religion. They learn about the Sikhs and the attack on the Golden Temple by Indira Gandhi. However, the two friends received fantastic hospitality throughout. John compares these countries 50 years on, seeing the economic collapse in Greece and the refugees crisis in the Balkans.Vince Cable says: 'This is a really interesting piece of work, which blends personal anecdote and adventure with the history and politics of the places visited on an epic journey. We are reminded that today's tourist traps in the Balkans and Turkey, not to mention the Punjab, have a terrible history. But the kindness of the people that hitch hikers have to trust shines through as does the strength of the friendship of John and Andrew who made this journey of a lifetime.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the role of think tanks as foreign policy actors. It looks at the origins and development of foreign policy think tanks in India and their changing relevance and position as agents within the policy-making process. The book uses a comparative framework and explores the research discourse of prominent Indian think tanks, particularly on the India–Pakistan dispute, and offers unique insights and perspectives on their research design and methodology. It draws attention to the policy discourse of think tanks during the Composite Dialogue peace process between India and Pakistan and the subsequent support from the government which further expanded their role. One of the first books to offer empirical analyses into the role of these organisations in India, this book highlights the relevance of and the crucial role that these institutions have played as non-state policy actors. Insightful and topical, this book will be of interest to researchers focused on international relations, foreign policy analysis and South Asian politics. It would also be a good resource for students interested in a theoretical understanding of foreign policy institutions in general and Indian foreign policy in particular.
