Question
An engineer in this subnational political unit developed a way to make artificial glaciers now used for local irrigation, dubbed “ice stupas.” This region’s namesake chronicle describes its history as a trade hub formerly called “Maryul,” accessed by the Khardung La from Yarkand to the north or the Zoji La from a “vale” to the south. This is the most Buddhist political unit in its country due to a majority around its capital, Leh. This modern political unit’s Shyok River is indirectly fed by the second-longest glacier in the world, the (*) Siachen. This political unit, which names a southeastern extension of the Karakorams, claims but does not control Aksai Chin. A December 2023 court decision upheld the 2019 revocation of Article 370 to create this political unit. For 10 points, what largest Union Territory was formed by the partition of Jammu and Kashmir? ■END■
