Um.. what happens when they get their period , do they wrap themselves with heavy cloth?

Do they live in isolation for 3-5 days ?

Question: Does Ladakh want independence like rest of Kashmir?

[binoyrakesh]

@fcgfgcfg Nope. They are very very sometimes extremely vocal in their support to the Army and they identify themselves as Indians. These people you see are also the whistle blowers when an incursion occurs from the Chinese PLA.

The seperatists are in the Kashmir area, which is in the west of the kingdom of Jammu and Kashmir. Thats where there is a majority Muslim population(now, almost entirely Muslim, because the Hindus were driven out of the valley in 1990.)

These people gauge their wealth by the the degree of happiness they have. Isnt that the way it should be. But things are slowly changing. the govt though not wanting to is allowing thousands more tourists into the country.

I just watched this video and it signifies humility and renunciation of vanities. Quite similar to what Islam signifies, though there are different principles.

Islam is no barbarism, its as a humble and peaceful practice, but in contrast to Buddhism it prescribes violence against intolerable oppressive violence.

The modern terrorists barely know islam, they are trained to murder mindlessly. If anyone really wants to study Islamic Sciences, go through the scriptures and schools.

Nuns in Ladakh also live in their family and do prayers at home. Most of the time, they are helping the family on the field. So they do not belong to a sanga.

A small but significant centre for the affirmation of Buddhism
