ABSTRACT
The Himalaya are the finest natural combination of boundary and barrier that exists in the world. It stands alone. For the greater part of its length only the Himalayan eagle can trace it. It lies amidst the eternal silence of vast snowfields and icebound peaks…. Could you stand on one of the lower and outer ranges in Kashmir, or in Garhwal, or Nepal, or at Darjeeling, and watch on some clear day the white outline of the distant snowy range, you would realise then that never was there such a God-given boundary set to such a vast impressive and stupendous frontier.
