Mapping Cultural Assets of Historic Mountain Roads
Historic mountain roads, such as those in the Indo-Tibetan borderlands, hold cultural significance, facilitating centuries of human movement, trade, and spiritual exchange.

This study addresses this research gap by exploring the cultural assets of the historic mountain roads in the Indo-Ti…

Ambiguous marital identity and conflict
The Kashmir conflict over the years has produced a new class of women known as half-widows—wives of disappeared men. Half-widows are differentially affected by conflict due to their relationship with men. This article aims to explore the heterogeneity of the experiences of half-widows. The husband's disappearance not only resulted in their ambiguous marital status but also had a ripple effect on other aspects of life. Therefore, using a socio-eco…
Building 'Dyarā' away from Home
The culture of migration is so deeply ingrained in the Nepal highlands, that individuals from marginalized households in the western provinces view migration to India as 'a rite of passage to adulthood'.

This…

Dynamics of indigenous community's food and culture in the time of climate change in the Himalayan region
Global climate change has become the most significant challenge of modern times, confronting the lives and security of vulnerable societies around the world. The anticipated impact of climatic variability will be severe on local communities, particularly those residing near high-risk prone zones such as coastal areas and mountain regions. The indigenous knowledge and locally-held beliefs act as a refuge, which also prompt and prohibit the respons…

The culturally embedded habitus forms esthetic sensibilities; that is, the culture of a specific community group is internalized through the process of socialization. Habitus extends to our sense of taste for cultural objects such as art, food, and clothing. In a traditional society like in India, the family is an institution with norms and values attached to it. Furthermore, it is a woman who usually cooks in a traditional society. Therefore, th…
