Khardong La photograph copyright Alastair Merrill

Broken dreams
Date: July 2003

Comments: Khardong La Pass (at 5,800m, the highest motorable road in the world), Ladakh, northwest India.

A shattered tablet reflects the broken reality of the Gandhian vision of a secular and harmonious India (click on the broken headstone to see the inscription in detail).
