Charles Albert Edward Ramble is an anthropologist and former University Lecturer in Tibetan and Himalayan Studies at the Oriental Institute, Oxford University. Since 2009 he has been Professor and Directeur d'études at the Ecole pratique des hautes études, Paris
The northern borderlands of Nepal have long been recognised as a haven in which the Buddhist and Bön religions were able to survive intact during the ravages of the Chinese Cultural Revolution in their Tibetan homeland. However, more recent research in this area is beginning to shed light on aspects of civilisation that are barely known even from the high plateau. Archaeological discoveries have revealed funerary practices that suggest close links to Central Asia, while the study of the rich collections of local archives is providing insights into the lives of long-vanished villagers to a degree that is unlikely ever to be possible for Tibet.
