Brokpa people India face divided land and disputed origins, highlighting unique cultural and ethnic challenges.
High in the icy Indian Himalayas , a long-isolated people recall origin myths of millennia-old migrations from afar -- an identity in disputed lands twisted today by politics.
Other Brokpa people recount myths of ancestral links to Alexander the Great's army, who invaded in the fourth century BC.But Gangphel -- who said he can sing a thousand songs in the Brokpa language detailing their culture -- is adamant about his people's past. For the Brokpa, the term"Aryan" has been used as a tool to promote both tourism and India's geopolitical ambitions.Each country claims the region as their own.
"I saved the nation's honour," 60-year-old Namgyal told AFP, proudly showing army letters praising his service.
