Geographically, these include the following states: Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim. The true divisions of the Indian Himalayas are based on the mountain ranges rather than the state boundaries. This work is a broad survey of geography, history and society with a focus on environmental and developmental issues.''
