Kyle J. Gardner reveals the transformation of the historical
Himalayan entrepot of Ladakh into a modern, disputed borderland
through an examination of rare British, Indian, Ladakhi, and
Kashmiri archival sources. In so doing, he provides both a history
of the rise of geopolitics and the first comprehensive history of
Ladakh's encounter with the British Empire. He examines how
colonial border-making practices transformed geography into a
political science and established principles that a network of
imperial frontier experts would apply throughout the empire and
bequeath to an independent India. Through analyzing the complex of
imperial policies and practices, The Frontier Complex reveals how
the colonial state transformed, and was transformed by, new ways of
conceiving of territory. Yet, despite a century of attempts to
craft a suitable border, the British failed. The result is an
imperial legacy still playing out across the Himalayas.
