Volume-2. Demography and Human Geography: Another volume of this book deals with the demography and social structure in various regions of the Himalaya.

The people of Jaunsar-Bawar are called as the ^relics of Past^, who still preserve their culture dating back to Mahabharata period. There are polyandrous and polygynandrous people in Jaunsar-Bawar, Spiti and Lahaul. This book also deals with kinship and social organisation of India, Bhutan and Nepal. Volume-3. Geological and Physical Perspective: This volume deals with Geology of Nepal, Uttarakhand, Myth, History and Man, and other facts about Nepal. This book in three volumes contains uptodate wealth of information culled from various sources on the subject in fascinating detail.

‎Art and Culture of Himalaya [Hardcover]‎

‎A number of factors are responsible for disappearance of different art forms from the Himalayan region. The main among them are social, economical and ecological ones. The cultural invasion from outside is also one of them. During Mughal, Sikh and Rajput periods, the Himalayan art and culture was at its zenith. But during the British period, it took a nosedive. The British were rather pragmatic and matter of factly. They wasted no efforts on vain and inane aesthetics even in the building activities. They raised building rather for public schools, hospitals and other public utilities only. This volume describes the social constitution, its polyandrous marriage systems and peculiar customers and rituals , paintings, sculptures and religious practices of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu Kashmir, Ladakh, Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan. This book is a must read for the serious students of art, culture, sociology and anthropology. About The Author:- Brigadier (Dr.) Kuldip Singh Gulia is a noted and active environmentalist.
