The contributions to this proceedings volume emerged from an interdisciplinary workshop, held in April 1995, which brought together members of two high-mountain research projects supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Society). Regionally, the focus was on northern Pakistan, India and Nepal. The main topic common to all participants was the dynamic aspect of the relationships between highlands and lowlands in the past and the present, and their impact in the high mountain regions on trade, population structure, ethnic and religious identity-forming processes as well as the use of the environment. In addition, this volume discusses the aspects and implementations of policies aimed at sustainable development in the Himalayan regions of Pakistan, India and Nepal.

Tibet’s Mount Kailas is one of the world’s great pilgrimage centres, renowned as an ancient sacred site that embodies a universal sacrality. But Kailas Histories: Renunciate Traditions and the Construction of Himalayan Sacred Geography demonstrates that this understanding is a recent construction by British colonial, Hindu modernist, and New Age interests. Using multiple sources, including fieldwork, Alex McKay describes how the early Indic vision of a heavenly mountain named Kailas became identified with actual mountains. He emphasises renunciate agency in demonstrating how local beliefs were subsumed as Kailas developed within Hindu, Buddhist, and Bön traditions, how five mountains in the Indian Himalayan are also named Kailas, and how Kailas sacred geography constructions and a sacred Ganges source region were related.

The volume complied under the rubric of people of the Himalayas: Ecology, Culture Development and Change is an ambitious geographic multidisciplinary study concerning the little or scantily explored mountain ranges of Himalayas. The book has six major themes, which are the subject of 42 chapters. The study aims at having systmatic scientific knowledge of the conditions of the habitats, socio-cultural knowledge of the conditions of the habitats, socio-cultural development and change and their impact on the overall environmental situations presently obtaining in the sprawling 2,700 km long Himalayan ranges; extending from the south-east extreme of the Karakorams across Kashmir to Assam. The work covers the Himalayan highland as well as the lowland habitations including those in the plain catchment area in the north-east. Having taken a cursory glance at the Himalayan physiographic features, the study has noted that the age-old ever sustaining subsistence level of livelihood waned following the steady advent of urbanization and westernization among the Himalayan ranges since around the early twentieth century. The volume contains contributions from eminent scholars and researchers having direct first hand enthnographic study of the Himalayan habitations. The papers cover multiple parameters of study. Starting with the conceptual aspects of human ecology and environment, the volume comprises papers dealing with geoenvironmental incompatible situations, biodiversity-cum-eco-development, eco-historical perspectives, material culture and its components and last but not the least, change and its effect. The millennium old pristine tribal life that nestled in the Himalayan heights since perhaps prehistoric times fast came to the metamorphosed, and in this context, though the need of urgent anthropology is long past, the present work is worth being rather late than never.The wide diversity of the subject matter described in 42 chapters will make this book of interest to anthropologists, social scientists (geography, economics, history, sociology, political science etc.).
