  I'm recently obsessed with the history and culture of Zanskar.  I'm taken with the inevitability yet hope, of the culture and modernization.  Faith, ritual, tradition...keeping up with the modern world, solving modern problems, allowing the future to happen...such a conundrum. Thanks for the upload!

  Quality education is the essence of need in today's world, unfortunately current  education system lack of moral ethnic education. This is really need to be implemented as sooner to preserve the cultural heritage of this valley..

  Excellent documentary.  Thank you for sharing it with us via YouTube.  It seems that this video was shot before the new all weather road was completed into the valley.  There's also a high school in the main village, so I imagine that the life that once was no longer exists in this beautiful, once remote valley.  I know that people desire technology to make their lives easier.  Certainly these people deserve better health care, that sort of thing.  But I can't help but mourn for the loss of innocence that once was.  Indeed life was extremely difficult, and yet it was less complicated.  It's the same story the world over.  Modern society encroaches on even the most remote societies, thereby transforming them forever, and often, if not always, leading to the demise of what once was.   Well, even Buddhism says that change is inevitable and we must not be attached.  But damn it why can't preserve a simpler way of being and appreciate the immediacy of living in tune with nature, with the elements, as these people have done forever?  The young men wearing Western style clothing I find extremely disturbing.  Basically it's the end of a culture that existed there for centuries.  On the bright side, if I ever do make it there I can take a bus and stay in one of the new hostels and listen to loud Indian music while I eat Indian food.  Oh nevermind.....
