Book titled 'Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh: Through the Ages' is set for launch on Thursday by Union Ministers Amit Shah and Dharmendra Pradhan, the officials associated with the education ministry cited.
"The book attempts to document the story of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh from a perspective and format that enables an overview for both the subject specialist and those less conversant," a senior education ministry official said.
"It is presented in seven sections that cover over 3,000 years of the region's history. Each illustration selected for inclusion has been done with care, being representative of age, its importance, and contribution to the larger historical canvas of Indian history," the official added.
Published in Hindi and English, the book is the result of collaborative efforts of the National Book Trust, India, and the Indian Council of Historical Research.
