The
people of this city are different like the land itself.The facial look of the
people of this land symbolizes more to that of the people of Tibet and Central
Asia than India.Like the land itself, the people of Ladakh are generally quite
different from those of the rest of India.
The original population may have been Dards, an Indo-Aryan race down from the
Indus and the Gilgit area. Actually the people of this place had immigrated
from Tibet and this is very obvious from their habitats.
Moreover, the people of the region of Kargil appear to be of mixed origin. The
exception to this generalisation is the Arghonsss a community of Muslims in
Leh, originated as a result of marriages between local women and Kashmiri or
Central Asian merchants.
They exhibit a marked dominance of the Indo-Aryan trait in their physique and
appearance, though culturally they are not different from the rest of the Ladakhis.
