• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Gujjar and Bakarwal transhumant community, the third largest ethnic community in the state of Jammu and Kashmir (India) is struggling for their survival, in the current ongoing militancy and conflict, since early 1990s. Livestock rearing activity is the traditional mainstay of their economy in the state. These transhumant communities move along with their livestock over space, and spend six months in the summer pastures and six months in the winter pastures according to a set yearly calendar and schedules over an ecologically determined habitat. They have been detached from their centuries old transhumant practices due to militancy and conflict situation. The present book attempts to highlight the multidimensional economic and social instability that impacts the Gujjar and Bakerwal community of Jammu and Kashmir.
