India’s Ladakh protests: Himalayan region demands more representation

For more than a month, some people in the Ladakh region of Indian-administered Kashmir have been on hunger strike. They are protesting against a government decision to run the territory from New Delhi. On Sunday, residents staged a sit-in. They say the decision marginalises Ladakh’s local tribes. The Buddhist-majority Himalayan region is demanding statehood and protection of natural habitats against development. Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi reports.
