Cultural History of Uttarakhand

by D.D. Sharma

This is the outcome of many years of keen observation of the linguistic and cultural phenomena of the whole Himalayan region, right from Ladakh in the west to Bhutan in the east and an intensive study of ancient Indian Literature and of the historical incidents that have taken place in these Central Himalayan regions, particularly in the land termed as Uttarakhand.

This book offers a valuable overview of ancient Central Himalayan tribes and their contribution to modern Kumaon and Garhwal culture. However, its cultural analysis would benefit from a revised integration of regional political history, because it was last updated in 2009. For a comprehensive political history of Uttarakhand, I recommend Yashwant Singh Katoch's 'Uttarākhand kā Navīn Itīhās'."
