Abstract

Acknowledgements: This article is based on research conducted among the Gaddi pastoralists of Himachal Pradesh during 1993-95. I am indebted to the herders of Bara Bangahal and Mandher villages for their generosity and patience in accommodating me and answering my many questions. The Himachal Pradesh Forest Department provided logistical and other support. Staff at the National Archives, Delhi; Himachal Pradesh Archives, Simla; India Office library, London; and the Forestry and Seely Mudd Libraries at Yale University assisted in tracking the documentation I have used here. The study was funded by the Biodiversity Support Program (a consortium of the World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy and the World Resources Institute, with funding by the U.S. Agency for International Development), the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and the American Institute of Indian Studies. The text has benefitted greatly from discussions with K. Sivaramakrishnan, Nancy Peluso, Mahesh Rangarajan, Pauline Peters, Joe Miller and the members of the Spring 1995 student colloquium of the Agrarian Studies Program at Yale University.
