In this episode of Central Hall, Kapil Sibal explores the history, aspirations and current challenges of Ladakh — the "Land of High Passes". Once ruled by the Namgyals and later integrated with Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh has long sought recognition of its unique identity, fragile ecosystem and tribal culture.

After the abrogation of Article 370, Ladakhis celebrated their new Union Territory status but remain concerned about the absence of legislature, Sixth Schedule protections, and adequate development.

Joining the discussion are three distinguished voices: Gitanjali J. Angmo, founder of the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives; Dr. Sadiq Wahid, Central Eurasian studies expert and Ladakhi academic; and Radha Kumar, peace-builder and policy leader. Together, they share insights on why Ladakhis feel unheard, their demands for autonomy, and the way forward for this strategically vital region.
