Chumuik Shiiaete, District Ladakh, J &K July, 2000

For the gypsy girls of a place in the middle of nowhere called Chumuik Shiiaete, boundaries are meaningless. Buried somewhere under the stones strewn not twenty meters from their tent is an invisible line separating Himachal from J & K. Culture and kinship transcend here. In such a desolate place, the only boundary they know is the one that secures families in friendship and togetherness. It’s a different light they see the world with.
