About the Book
The Buddha and the Borders traces the footprints of Buddhism across the eastern Himalayas where the religion has flourished for more than a millennium with its colourful and vibrant culture. Interestingly, the long borders in the region, too, have flared up in hostilities with troop movement and tension disrupting the silence of the mountains. With meticulous research and extensive travel the author has built the narrative around the region's geopolitics and spiritual traditions. Full of insights into the life of the remote region, the book is an easy read.
