本文将亲密关系作为地缘政治实践的场所加以探讨。当该机构成为地缘政治战略发挥作用的领地时，会发生什么？在印度查谟和克什米尔邦的列区，佛教和穆斯林的冲突在身体所在地被阐明，地缘政治战略影响着个人的决定。在过去的一个世纪里，宗教认同在Leh越来越具有政治意义，特别是自20世纪80年代以来。有趣的是，对于普通的拉达克来说，他的政治冲突是用身体来描述的--也就是说，通过讨论谁应该或不应该在一起吃饭、结婚或生孩子。通过破坏全球地缘政治规模的稳定，我们可以对我们的身体融入或拒绝融入地缘政治战略以控制领土的日常方式达成更丰富、更细致入微的理解。在过去，佛教徒更多的是。现在，我认为主要是佛教徒使用了计划生育。在什叶派穆斯林中，如果你看看卡吉尔和楚绍特，即使是现在，他们每个人也有九到八个人。他说，我们的佛教徒越来越少，然后我们的国会山议会，未来将由什叶派穆斯林掌管。佛教协会的所作所为，它对所有的佛教徒说：“你们应该想想。最多四个，或者六个，或者五个，让他们出生。不要在两点后消毒。(杨朵，45岁，三个孩子的母亲)1在一开始，在一开始，关系就很好。我们就像一个人。有佛教徒与穆斯林结婚，也有穆斯林与佛教徒结婚。现在，时代变了，情况也不同了。现在人们不理解，他们的心也不好。(拉齐亚，45岁的逊尼派两个孩子的母亲)
This paper approaches intimacy as a site of geopolitical practice. What happens when the body is the territory through which geopolitical strategies are played out? In the Leh district of India's Jammu and Kashmir state Buddhist/Muslim conflict is articulated at the site of the body and geopolitical strategies impinge on personal decisions. Over the past century religious identity has increasingly taken on political meaning in Leh, particularly since the 1980s. Interestingly, for average Ladakhis political conflict is described in terms of bodies – that is, through discussions of who should or should not eat together, get married, or have children. By destabilising the global geopolitical scale, we can arrive at a richer and more nuanced understanding of the everyday ways in which our bodies are incorporated into or reject incorporation into geopolitical strategies to control territory. In the past, the Buddhists were more. Now, it's the Buddhists, mostly, I think, who have used family planning. Among the Shia Muslims, if you look in Kargil and Chushot, even now, they have nine each or eight each. Rinpoches say that our Buddhists are getting fewer, and then our Hill Council, in the future it's going to be run by Shia Muslims. What the Buddhist Association did, it said to all the Buddhists, “You should think. Up to four, or up to six, or up to five, let them be born. Don't sterilize after two.” (Yangdol, 45-year-old Buddhist mother of three) 1 In the beginning, in the very beginning, the relationship was very good. We were like one person. There were Buddhists who married with Muslims, and Muslims who married with Buddhists. Now, times have changed, and things are different. Now people don't understand, and they have bad hearts. (Razia, 45-year-old Sunni mother of two)
