March 22, 2024
Research Analyst, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr Zainab Akhter’s article ‘SAV Explainer: People’s Movement for 6th Schedule for Ladakh’ was published in South Asian Voices, on 22 March 2024.
In a region strife with political and religious divides, it is notable that the Kargil and Leh districts have joined forces in their demand for the 6th Schedule. In this case, no middle ground will work. The government should revisit its decision and administer Ladakh into the 6th Schedule to safeguard tribal culture and the ecologically sensitive region from unnecessary development, says Dr Akhter.
