History of Western Tibet: One of the Unknown Empires

A History of Western Tibet is based on foreign and western Tibetan sources

of information. The western Tibetan sources of information are records on

stones and on paper. Records on stones cover the period 200 B.C. to 1900

A.D. Records on paper are the chronicles of the Kings of Leh. Though these

are edited ones, much remains to be done.

The readers will find A History of Western Tibet interesting which is the

outcome of scholarly enterprise and research as much as of familiarity with

the country and the people.

The book is profusely illustrated, and illustrations and maps vis-a-vis the

text make the readers move apace with the different phases of the history

of the Western Tibet.
