The objective The HimalayasThe famous yet fragile roof of the world anthology is to focus on Himalayan natural and cultural landscapes and to explore some important moments of anthropic interventions that have impacted this region in significant ways. The book focuses on the diverse communities that inhabit and prosper in them, and the unique interventions in the collective lives of these communities that the mountains make. Though, by and large, mountain communities try to maintain their distinctiveness given their relative isolation, but many have been put through melting pots or crucibles from time to time. Thus, the book attempts to highlight Pan-Himalayan cultures, their legends and myths, and the need to preserve their cultural and natural heritage

Cleverly argued and extremely compelling this book offers a remarkably timely analysis of what commodified life does to the planet. The present volume is a collection of scholarly articles that brings to the fore myriad aspects of the mighty Himalayas, the diverse communities that inhabit and prosper in them, and the unique interventions in the collective lives of these communities that the mountains make. With focus on geopolitical interests, economic and commercial imperatives as well as different kinds of inter cultural interface the book undertakes geographical, anthropological, sociological and phenomenological exploration of the Himalayas in an amazing way. Biodiversity, wildlife and conservation finds adequate focus too. The diverse points of view espoused incisively by eminent thinkers on the above subjects adds rich flavour and relevance to this much awaited volume"- Sushil Bahuguna; Executive Editor, NDTV India
