The centrality of the Himalayas as a connecting point or perhaps a
sacred core for the Asian continent and its civilisations has
captivated every explorer and scholar. The Himalaya is the meeting
point of two geotectonic plates, three biogeographical realms, two
ancient civilisations, two different language streams and six
religions. This book is about the determinant factors which are at
work in the Himalayas in the context of what it constitutes in
terms of its spatiality, legends and myths, religious beliefs,
rituals and traditions. The book suggests that there is no single
way for understanding the Himalayas. There are layers of
structures, imposition and superimposition of human history,
religious traits and beliefs that continue to shape the Asian
dynamics. An understanding of the ultimate union of the Himalayas,
its confluences and its bridging role is essential for Asian
balance. This book is a collaborative effort of an internationally
acclaimed linguist, a diplomat-cum-geopolitician and a young
Asianist. It provides countless themes that will be intellectually
stimulating to scholars and students with varied interests. Please
note: This title is co-published with KW Publishers, New Delhi.
