evidence: Ladakh is a mountainous region in South Asia. Due to its geographical and cultural similarity with Tibet, Ladakh is sometimes described as "Little Tibet". However, unlike Tibet, only a bit over half of the population are Buddhists, with the rest Muslims. The settled population lives between 2,700 m and 4,500 m, and in nomadic encampments even higher. Politically, Ladakh is part of the Kashmir region disputed between India and Pakistan. Ladakh is claimed by Pakistan but controlled by India as a union territory. The Aksai Chin Plateau is claimed by India as part of Ladakh, but administered by China as part of Xinjiang. [...] Many Ladakhis express feelings of antipathy towards Kashmiris and Pakistanis and are generally supportive of their inclusion in India. They feel they were unjustly treated and discriminated against when Ladakh was a part of Jammu and Kashmir.
