It was
called Maryul or low land by some Kha- chumpa by others. Fa-Hein referred to it as Kia-Chha and Hiuen Tsang as Ma-Lo-Pho. It is said that the first Immigrants to this land appears to have
been the Brokpas from Dadarstan who inhabited the lower
reaches of the Indus Valley popularly known as Sham. Another
wave of Immigrants who came from karja (Kulu) were the Mons
an A***n type who first sett

led in Gya and spread to Rong,
Shayok, Sakti Tangtse and Durbuk, the area extending from
Martselang to Khaltsi. Gia was the seat of government of the first
Mon ruler having been elected by the whole tribe. His kingdom
included the villages mentioned above, all of which was
inhabited by the Mons people He was known by the title
Gyapacho, derived from his being the master of Gia. The ancient inhabitants of Ladakh were Dards, an Indo- A***n
race. Immigrants of Tibet, Skardo and nearby parts like Purang,
Guge settled in Ladakh, whose racial characters and cultures
were in consonance with early settlers. Buddhism traveled from
central India to Tibet via Ladakh leaving its imprint in Ladakh. Islamic missionaries also made a peaceful pe*******on of Islam in
the early 16th century. German Moravian Missionaries having
cognizance of East India Company also made inroads towards
conversion but with little success. In the 10th century AD, Skit Lde Nemagon, the ruler of Tibet,
invaded Ladakh where there was no central authority. The lands
divided in small principalities were at war with each other. Nemagon defeated them one by one and established a strong
kingdom at Shey, 15 kms from Leh, as its capital. Ladakh was an
independent country since the middle of the 10th century. King Singge Namgyal had consolidated the Ladakhi Empire into
a strong kingdom. He was not only a strong monarch but a
statesman, a diplomat and a builder. He built the historic
9- storeyed Leh palace and made the other neighboring
countries envy of such an elegant palace. He also promoted
horse polo in Ladakh. In the ancient times the present Leh district was a part of Greater
Ladakh spread over from Kailash Mansarover to Swaat
(Dardistan). The Greater ladakh was neither under the Domain
of Tibet or its influence. Not much information is available
about the ancient History of Ladakh. However, reference about
the place and its neighbourhood in Arab, Chinese and
Mongolian histories gives an idea that in the 7th Century A.D
fierce wars were fought by Tibet and China in Baltistan area of
the Greater Ladakh in which deserts and barren mountains of
Ladakh was turned into battle fields for the warring armies. In the 8th century A.D Arabs also jumped into these wars and
changed their sides between China and Tibet. Around this
period, the ruler of Kashmir, Laltadita conquered Ladakh. In the
8th Century A.D itself, The Arabs conquered Kashghar and
established their control over Central asia which embraced Islam
in the 9th century A.D and thus a buffer state came into being
between Tibet and China, terminating the hostilities between the
two warring countries. The greater Ladakh also fell into peices. A thousand years ago before the contol of Tibets rule, king
Skitde Nemagon, ruled over Ladakh which was known as
Muryul (Red Country), as most of the mountains and the soil in
Ladakh wears a red tinge. In the 10th Century A.D Skitday
Nemagon, along with a couple of hundred men, invaded Ladakh
where there was no central authority. The Land was divided in
small principalities, which were at war with each other. Nemagon defeated all of them and established a strong central
authority. Those days Shey, was the capital of Ladakh became to
be known as Nariskorsoom, a country of three provinces. The
present Ladakh was divided into two provinces while the third
comprised western Tibet. The area of western Tibet slipped
away from the kingdom but was reunited in 16th Century A.D. by the famous Ladakhi ruler Sengge Namgyal. Ladakh was an
independent country since the middle of 10th century. In the post-partition scenario, Pakistan and China illegally
occupied 78,114 sq. km and 37,555 sq.km of the state,
respectively while the remaining part of the state acceded to
India. Pakistan also illegally gifted 5180 sq.kms of this area to
China. Ladakh, comprising the areas of present Leh and Kargil
districts, became one of the seven districts of the State. In 1979
when the reorganization of the districts was carried out, the
Ladakh district was divided into two full fledged district of Leh
and Kargil.
