Description: | Photograph of shepherds at Jammu and Kashmir in India, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1890s. The modern state of Jammu and Kashmir is a Himalayan region in north-western India famous for its mountain scenery and lakes. Kashmiris work mainly on the land, producing crops and tending animals. The Bakkarwals are a pastoral nomadic tribe. They travel with their flocks of sheep and goats to the high mountain pastures in the summer and return to the foothills in the winter. Widows, orphans, the sick and elderly are cared for communally. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
