Six Years On, 'Social Boycott' of Minority Community in Zanskar Continues
The
small Muslim community in Zanskar alleges they’ve been facing a social
boycott from the majority Buddhist community since 2012, which has
crippled their livelihood.
Srinagar: About 450 kms from Srinagar, the Muslim
minority community of about 600 people in Zanskar division of
Kargil district, Leh region, has been facing a “social boycott” from the
majority Buddhist community, which makes up over 95% of the population
in the sub-division, for nearly six years. Local people from the
minority community alleged that the Zanskar Buddhist Association (ZBA)
has enforced this “social boycott” after four Buddhist families,
comprising of 22 members, converted to Islam in October 2012.
