posted on august 26 2024 by ialsladakh by john bray the passing of the writer and historian abdul ghani sheikh leaves an immense gap in the lives of his family and innumerable friends as well as the wider ladakh studies community born in 1936 he was himself a witness to history in that he had lived through the traumas of partition in 1947 and the period of accelerating political and social change that followed in his short stories and in his historical research he wrote with insight and compassion to many of us he served as a mentor and a friend here i would like to share a note about his association with the ials abdul ghani sheikh in 2009 in 1989 sheikh sahib travelled to the uk for the ials conference at the university of bristol which was organised by dr henry osmaston although this was the fourth in the series of ladakh studies conferences it was the first to be held specifically under the auspices of the ials sheikh sahib presented a paper on a brief history of muslims in ladakh the other ladakhi contributors in bristol were jamyang gyaltsen dr nawang tsering nawang tsering shakspo and sonam wangchuk secmol abdul ghani sheikh presenting in bristol in 1989 john bray on the left nawang tsering shakspo on the right thereafter sheikh sahib became a regular presenter at ials conferences both in ladakh and abroad the last international conference in which he participated was in rome in 2007 always eager to expand his international horizons he managed to stop over in istanbul on the return journey and made contact with a uighur friend who lived in turkey but had long family associations with ladakh shiekh sahib s list of ials publications is representative of his special interests by virtue of his background he naturally placed a particular focus on the history of ladakhi muslims and on ladakh s relationships with central asia and other neighbouring regions however he always took a broad view of ladakhi society his other writings included a biography of the ladakhi buddhist leader sonam norboo 1909 1980 and he often expressed appreciation for the contributions of the moravian community abdul ghani sheikh with radhika gupta at the ials conference in 2009 christian jahoda and kurt tropper in the background in the early 2000s sheikh sahib served as the hon secretary of the ials s ladakh committee i particularly remember working with him to secure the participation of two balti scholars syed bahadur ali salik and ghulam hasan hasni at the ials conference in kargil in 2005 this involved writing invitation letters and supporting documentation to the indian high commission in islamabad as well as the pakistani high commission in new delhi and at the very last minute the then indian foreign minister natwar singh eventually we were successful but the two baltis only arrived in kargil on the very last day of the conference over the years many of us benefitted from the hospitality of sheikh sahib and his family at the yasmin guesthouse now the grand yasmin ladakh near fort road whether at his home or in one of leh s restaurants and coffee houses it was always a delight to meet him he was consistently unassuming always perceptive sometimes quite sharp in his observations we have lost one of the best of friends abdul ghani sheikh s publications under the auspices of the ials 1995 a brief history of muslims in ladakh in recent research on

essays on the history of buddhist art in zangskar western himalaya was released recently posted on august 9 2024 by ialsladakh dear ials members we like to draw your attention to the recently released book early matters essays on the history of buddhist art in zangskar western himalaya by rob linrothe please find the description below early matters essays on the history of buddhist art in zangskar western himalaya by rob linrothe studio orientalia new delhi 2024 xiv 510p 4 col maps full of col illus bib ind 31 24cm isbn 9788196871567 us 90 this book is focused on the art in the remote valleys of zangskar a region of the union territory of ladakh in northern india it proposes that first the people and institutions in zangskar produced a treasury of understudied buddhist art in the form of architecture sculpture and painting and that second examination of this corpus models the formation of early visual culture in the western himalaya as a whole its chapters provide correctives to the reduction of this region to a miniature or provincial tibet particularly in the early periods of extant sculpture between the seventh and eleventh centuries and of painting tenth to thirteenth centuries it locates zangskar as its own center intersecting and in contact with a range of buddhist visual production sites surrounding it in all directions including greater kashmir khotan central asia northern and eastern india tibet and western nepal the analysis of early zangskari buddhist images is a much more complex and interesting story of cultural development and inspiration than the simplified indo tibetan narrative which ignores the agency of zangskar s artists merely attributing forms and objects to invisible tibetan hands the first chapter of part i theoretical and methodological matters takes a historiographic approach to highlight misunderstandings in regional nomenclature the second chapter reconsiders the relevance of the influential tibetologist and art collector giuseppe tucci in the practice of art history on tibet and the western himalaya the three chapters of part ii early matters successively examine the ea...
