Full textThe Buddhist monastery of Pemayangtse, located in the Himalayan State of Sikkim, allows within his religious community the only members of the clans which are related to the king. These clans compose the Lhopo nobility. They descend from ancient Tibetan and Bhutanese immigrants, the founders of the Buddhist kingdom of Sikkim in the XVIIth century, and the conquerors of the local populations. This study analyses the question of the relationship between the temporal and the spiritual orders in the area of Pemayangtse. The implication of the monastery in the society being a central subject, it is approached through an ethnography of the local Lhopo community. This question is analysed in consideration with the status of the Sikkimese state, as having been a part of the Indian Union's State since 1975
Pordié, Laurent. "La médecine des frontières : influences, humeurs et identités chez les amchi du Ladakh, Himalaya indien." Aix-Marseille 3, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008AIX32082.
Full textThis thesis offers one of the first, long-term ethnography on a small group of practitioners of Tibetan medicine. The studied group concerns the elite practitioners of Ladakh, Northwestern India. These individuals are an influential minority which produces the institutional narratives on Tibetan medicine in the region and represents Ladakhi amchi in the political arena both at regional and national level. They largely contribute to the social redefinition of Tibetan medicine in the region. This work focuses on the social relations making up this group and on individual behaviour patterns, which, guided by a variable set of issues and values, help questioning the social and economic conditions of power, as well as the role of hierarchies and networks in the milieu studied. The chapters are organized into five sections: the selection process of local power and the principles of individual and collective legitimation, the identity dimension of religion (Buddhism and Islam), the social life of associations, the social uses of intellectual property, and finally, 'new practitioners’ of Tibetan medicine. The conclusion elucidates the notion of borders given in the title. The geopolitics of Ladakh, the new territories of the amchi, environmental protection and the preservation of knowledge, the boundaries between areas (rural/urban, center/periphery), the social and spatial dimension of conflict management, social relationships and the tensions they create all go towards producing this medicine at the borders

Full textPadum is the only community where two religions are practiced (Buddhism and Islam) in the great Himalayas, in the Jammu & Kashmir State of India. This research was conducted from 2002 to 2007 and covered a full winter (2004/2005). This work shows how Buddhists and Muslims, because of a keen understanding and acceptance of their differences, maintain the determination to build a community together. I aim to show the strategies and mecanisms they use to maintain this peaceful relationship. We may wonder about the definition of community, how sharing space and lifestyle affects a group's sense of belonging. How are the relationships within and between both groups organised and what are they based on (Buddhists and Muslims)? This communal cohesion shows the strong influences of politics and history. Also, I discuss the concepts of reciprocity and exchange and the nature of these as they exist in Padum
Kapoor, Mohit. "Story of two villages : physical, social and economic analysis of the landscape of Darkot and Sharmoli (Uttarakhand, Himalayan India)." Thesis, Paris 10, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA100031/document.
Full textThe thesis revolves around the physical, social and economic analysis of the landscape of two Himalayan villages in Uttarakhand, India: of Darkot and Sharmoli with respect to the core Munsiyari which exhibits administrative, market and tourism functions. Sharmoli is located near the core while Darkot is situated at a distance of 7 kms. and at a lower height than Sharmoli. The villages are inhabited by Bhotias (scheduled tribe as well as high-caste Hindus), Thakurs (high-caste Hindus) and lower-caste (scheduled castes) people. Around 173 families belonging to different castes are surveyed in the two villages. Bhotias used to practice trade with Tibet and the other two castes were their subordinates, but after 1962 with the stoppage of trade and transfer of Bhotias’ land to the tiller Thakurs, a lot of changes have come about in the physical, social and economic life of both the villages. The analysis of the landscape of Darkot and Sharmoli shows that Darkot is a very old village with the presence of elements of caste, religion, hierarchy etc. in its settlement pattern of private and public spaces, while Sharmoli has been constructed in the last 4-5 decades with a lower degree of influence of social and physical factors. The inhabitants of both the villages are adopting modern-design and new types of houses with contemporary construction materials while the uses of rooms are changing as per need. Land in the Sharmoli is used more for tourism-related activities which are absent in case of Darkot, while agriculture is far from subsistence level in both the villages. Majority of the male inhabitants of both the villages are engaged in service sector activities such as labour, business, private jobs etc. while very few are in government services. The average age of the earner in both the villages is beyond 40 years which shows the out-migration of young people to the towns and cities along with the presence of a large number of pensioners, esp. in Darkot. Though the villagers are not poor with regard to per-capita income, yet their earnings are lower (i.e. around $3 per day) because of poor educational qualifications and skills, along with lack of good opportunities in the villages. Women (esp. of Bhotia caste) are engaged in handicrafts while home-stays have come up as a new and good source of income for the families in Sharmoli. Overall, the patron-client relationship between Bhotias and the other two castes in economic terms has been loosened. The social landscape of Darkot depicts more orthodoxy in public space as religion, temple, caste play an important role in Darkot in comparison to Sharmoli where modern cultural and secular festivals dominate the landscape. The situation of women is not very good in both the villages while the caste factions (esp. among Bhotias and Thakurs) are clearly visible. Hence, both Darkot and Sharmoli depict characteristics of tradition and modernity depending upon the social and economic analysis of private and public spaces

Full textCette étude présente une analyse couplée morphologique et thermochronologi-que de l'Himalaya du nord-ouest, appuyée sur deux campagnes de terrain sur et autour du Plateau de Deosai. Cette approche pluridisciplinaire nous à permis : (1) de préciser les caractéristiques morphologiques de l'Himalaya du nord-ouest et (2) d'éclairer l'histoire de la formation et de l'exhumation des régions de faible relief à haute altitude jusqu'alors peu étudiées dans ce contexte.
Les analyses morphologiques, à l'échelle du nord-ouest Himalaya, montrent que plusieurs zones de faible relief à haute altitude existent à l'ouest de la Faille du Ka-rakorum, de part et d'autre de la suture Indus-Tsangpo. Les travaux de thermo-chronologie permettent de proposer les premiers âges thermochronologiques de basse température (AFT, et (U-Th)/He sur apatite et zircon) de cette partie de l'Arc Kohistan/Ladakh. Ils suggèrent, grâce à la modélisation d'histoires thermiques et leur comparaison avec les données de la littérature, que les surfaces de faible relief à haute altitude se sont formées depuis 30 à 40 millions d'années. Ces dernières ont, depuis ce stade, évolué lentement, à la faveur de vitesse d'exhumation faible (~200 m.Ma-1), au contraire des massifs incisés dont l'exhumation est rapide (plu-sieurs km.Ma-1 pour le Nanga Parbat depuis ~10 Ma). L'étude morphologique des profils des rivières drainant le Plateau de Deosai et la modélisation thermo-cinématique de l'évolution de sa bordure nord, nous permettent de montrer que l'érosion est localisée dans les grandes vallées et peu efficace à l'intérieur du pla-teau. L'histoire d'exhumation et les caractéristiques morphologiques des régions de faible relief à haute altitude très proches de celles de l'ouest Tibétain, suggèrent qu'à l'Éocène ils ne formaient qu'un seul ensemble. Les régions de faible relief à l'ouest de la Faille du Karakorum ont petit à petit été individualisées à la faveur d'une érosion localisée dans les grandes vallées et dirigée par les grands accidents tectoniques.

Full textThe Himalayan orogen, with a length of close to 2500 km, is the result of the col-lision of the Indian and Eurasian continents, which initiated 55 My ago. Since the onset of collision, the morphology of the Himalaya/Tibet region has not ceased to evolve, controlled by tectonics and erosion. At its north-western extremity, the Hi-malayan belt shows strongly contrasting relief, with regions of very high relief encir-cling areas characterised by high elevation and low relief. The best example of the latter areas is without doubt the Deosai Plateau. Located at ~4000 m mean eleva-tion on Kohistan/Ladakh Arc terrains, it is surrounded by strongly incised massifs such as the Karakorum and the Nanga Parbat. These two massifs contain 6 of the 14 summits with an altitude higher than 8000 m in the world. This study presents a morphological analysis coupled with a thermochronologi-cal study of the north-west Himalaya, based on two fieldwork campaigns on and around the Deosai Plateau. This multi-method approach allows us to: (1) precise the morphological characteristics of the north-western Himalayan region and (2) highlight the formation and exhumation history of the low-relief, high-elevation ar-eas, which have been little investigated in this context. Morphological analyses on the scale of the entire north-west Himalaya show that several zones of low relief at high elevation exist west of the Karakorum Fault, both north and south of the Indus-Tsangpo Suture Zone. The thermochronologic study allows us to present the first low-temperature thermochronology data (AFT and (U-Th)/He on apatite and zircon) from this part of the Kohistan/Ladakh Arc. Thermal history modelling using these data and their comparison with published data, sug-gest that the low-relief, high-elevation surfaces have formed since 30-40 Ma. Since this time, these surface evolved slowly, due to very low exhumation rates (~200 m. My-1), unlike the surrounding strongly incised massifs characterised by extremely high exhumation rates (several km. My-1 for the Nanga Parbat since ~10 Ma). A mor-phological study of the rivers draining the Deosai Plateau, together with thermo-kinematic modelling of the evolution of its northern border, show that erosion is localised within the major valleys and is not very efficient within the plateau. The exhumation histories and morphological characteristics of the low-relief, high-elevation regions are very similar to those from the western Tibetan Plateau, sug-gesting that in Eocene time they formed a single block. The high-elevation, low-relief areas to the west of the Karakorum Fault were individualized by localized erosion in the main river valleys, guided by the major tectonic structures

Full textThe Hindu-Kush Karakoram Himalayan (HKH) region is the largest snow and ice reservoir on the planet outside the Polar Regions. In the HKH region the mass balance and meteorological observations are sparse and the historical knowledge is mainly concentrated on snout fluctuation records. Hitherto, the understanding of glacier-climate relationship is poor in the HKH region. Therefore, the goal of the present work is to improve the understanding of glacier-climate relationship on a representative glacier ‘Chhota Shigri' in the western Himalaya. A number of in-situ measurements concerning mass balances, surface velocity, ice thickness and meteorology have been collected during and before the present PhD work since 2002. These data sets were first analyzed to understand the glacier behaviour and then used in the models to understand the glacier relationship with climatic variables. Between 2002 and 2013, glacier showed a mass wastage/unsteady-state conditions with a cumulative mass loss of –6.45 m w.e. Further, the ice flux analysis over 2002-2010 suggested that the glacier has experienced a period of steady-state or slightly positive mass balance during the 1990s. We first reconstructed the annual and seasonal mass balances using a degree day model from simple meteorological variables, precipitation and temperature. This reconstruction allowed us to examine the mass balances between 1969 and 2012. Since 1969, Chhota Shigri showed a moderate mean mass wastage at a rate of −0.30 m w.e. a-1. A period of steady-state between 1986 and 2000, already suggested by ice flux analysis and geodetic measurements, was confirmed. The mass balance evolution of this glacier revealed that the mass wastage is recent and provide a very different pattern than that of usually found in the literature on western Himalayan glaciers. The analysis of decadal time scale mass balances with meteorological variables suggested that winter precipitation and summer temperature are almost equally important drivers controlling the mass balance pattern of this glacier. Second, in order to understand the detailed physical basis of climatic drivers, a surface energy balance study was also performed using the in-situ meteorological data from the ablation area of Chhota Shigri Glacier. Net all-wave radiation was the main heat flux towards surface with 80% contribution while sensible, latent heat and conductive heat fluxes shared 13%, 5% and 2% of total heat flux, respectively. Our study showed that the intensity of snowfall events during the summer-monsoon is among the most important drivers responsible for glacier-wide mass balance evolution of Chhota Shigri Glacier. However, due to the lack of precipitation measurements and the strong precipitation gradient in this region, the distribution of precipitation on the glacier remains unknown and needs further detailed investigations

Full textThrough the study of Zaouiat Ahansal (Central High Atlas, Morocco) and Zanskar (Himalaya, India), the process of globalization has been discussed for the most marginalized areas that are the landlocked valleys of high mountain of developing countries. These two areas appear in the same geohistorical configuration. Bypassed by modern national infrastructure, these areas retain a very high infant and maternal mortality and very low literacy rates. However, from the western perspective, these valleys are considered as agrarian paradise. Their isolation is then enhanced by specific activities such as research in social sciences, outdoor sports and humanitarian commitment. Zaouïat Ahansal and Zanskar are areas invested by neo-adventurers who want to become gate-keepers between these valleys and their home society. These two valleys become global heterotopias or confined spaces mirroring global cities. Their progressive development through tourism and the growing role of the state ensure standardization of these valleys. However, a new class of transnational actors that we call global convivial class combines with NGOs to maintain specificity into these valleys. The relationship between authority, law and territory are renegotiated in a cosmopolitan frame to maintain “diversiality” of these valleys. This project is far from receiving the consensus of all people and requires the imposition of protected area status. Then, the two high valleys retain their status as heterotopia, their material isolation being extended by an ideal isolation

Full textChemical weathering of the earth crust supplies the essential elements for numerous biogeochemical cycles. Physical erosion of large orogens, such as the Himalayan range, is accompanied by significant weathering fluxes possibly affecting the global environment. The objective of this PhD is to understand how surface processes affect river sediment properties in order to asses current erosion and weathering rates but also to decipher their past variations. To answer this question we studied the transport dynamics, the physical and the geochemical characteristics of the sediments in the Ganga basin. This study suggests that about 10 % of the flux eroded in the Himalayas is currently stored in the Ganga floodplain. Cosmogenic isotopes (10Be) measured in river sediments show stable erosion rates between 1.3 and 1.4 mm/yr for the entire Himalayan range drained by the Ganga. Furthermore, we show that River sediments are progressively depleted in the most mobile elements, as weathering proceeds during transfer in the floodplain. By comparing this flux to the weathering flux of the Himalayan range, we show that floodplain weathering is predominant in weathering Himalayan sediments. Cation exchange occurring when Ganga and Brahmaputra (G&B) sediments enter the marine environment are limited and enhances the long term carbon storage, linked to silicate weathering by only ca. 20 %. Finally, the Bay of Bengal sedimentary record, which documents the last 20 000 years of Himalayan erosion shows that the sediments exported during the last glacial maximum (LGM) were significantly less weathered compared to the sediments currently exported. The Himalayan system is thus not buffered towards the high frequency climate forcing changes of the Quaternary and modern weathering rates cannot easily be extrapolated over the past

Full textThe dissertation presents an ethnographic study that examines knowledge as a situated practice in Ladakh, in the Indian Himalayas. It analyzes the sociocultural implications of two drivers of change at play in Ladakh: one is of socioeconomic origin and linked to the production of Ladakh as a border area, while the other is environmental and driven by climate change. Ladakh, which remained outside the scope of the bureaucratic state during the British colonial administration, found itself refashioned into a strategic border area following India’s independence and successive wars with Pakistan and China. Independence led to the partition of Indian into India and Pakistan in 1947; the dissertation examines the long-term, traumatic events of the partition in Ladakh, tracing connections to current perceptions of climate change. The independent Indian state has produced itself in the region through the taming of its mountains, primarily through infrastructure development and the co-optation of Ladakhi knowledge of the environment by the military apparatus. Far-reaching militarization has restructured Ladakh’s economy, consequently redefining household structure, contributing to village depopulation, displacing the centrality of agro-pastoralist activities and, as the dissertation argues, significantly altering the local population’s engagement with the environment. The increasing rationalization of the outlook on the environment today contributes to the fragmentation of links between the natural and human realms within the local cosmology and the abandonment of related ritual practices. Concurrently, the region is impacted by distinct effects of climate change, in particular glacier recession. The dissertation juxtaposes both the subjective experience of wide-ranging environmental changes and changes in everyday village life with historical facts, showing that local historical events influence perceptions of glacier recession and the depletion of natural resources. The analysis demonstrates that objective phenomena such as glacier recession are interpreted through local realities. Specifically, in the local worldview, a vanishing glacier is a trope for changes in the human condition. Yet, as the dissertation further argues, such cultural framing does not preclude the objectivity of natural history in local cosmology. Moreover, cultural framing and empirical experience, therefore, are shown to be essential to the vitality of local knowledge about the environment and to the performance of associated landscape practices.
