Ancient Futures

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh is a book by Helena Norberg-Hodge. The book was published in 1991.

The 1st part of the book describes the happy and egalitarian nature of the region of Ladakh when Helena first arrived in 1975, prior to the influx of Western ideas and material goods. In this world, Ladakhi women enjoyed high social status and family and community ties were very strong.

The 2nd part describes how Ladakh changed socially, ecologically and economically when "development" set in.^[1] Ladakhis began to enjoy the comfort and convenience ofmodernization, while increasing greed, intolerance, unemployment, inflation, pollution etc. set in and threatened the ecological balance and social harmony which had been maintained over the past centuries.

The book raises important questions about the notion of progress, and explores the root causes of the problems faced by a highly industrialized society.^[2] This book was translated into almost 40 languages and is used regularly at the grassroots level to raise awareness of issues surrounding globalization and the loss of indigenous wisdom.^[1]
