Book info: Homeland or Religion? Personal Identity Building in Zangskar, Indian Himalayas (Brill's Tibetan Studies Library, 55) (Hardcover, 150 pages) – Brill, 2023. Language: English.

Who are you? Where do you come from? These two simple questions have so many answers and are sometimes even difficult to answer. This book tells the story of a Buddhist-Muslim community from Padum, in the Zangskar Valley - Indian Greater Himalayas. The author has gained a unique insight into this community during twenty years of research while the people shared doubts and joys with her. These experiences showed her that the meaning of “belonging” to a homeland or a confessional group, and therefore the transformation of the process of identity building in our modern world, is bridging the gap between tradition and modernity.
