- Abstract
This article revises the historical development of Ladakh, which was once known as the Kingdom of Maryul to better understand the significance of Ladakh, India in the Western Himalayas. It became even more important after it got the status of the Union Territory of India on the fifth August 2019. It was since seventy-two years after the Independence of India in 1947 or about two hundred years after it was initially incorporated into India. Besides focusing on its adjoining neighbors of Ladakh and their interaction, the paper revisits the history to formulate a concise history of Ladakh based on the textual sources in the Tibetan language as well as in the secondary literature. As there are many specialized monographs on Ladakh, this short article is an attempt to outline Ladakh's distinctive history for the general readers and specialized disciplines as well.
