Ladakh Buddhist Association
- Ladakh Buddhist Association
Ladakh Buddhist Association (LBA) is an organization in Ladakh concerned with interests of Buddhists in Ladakh. In 1989, there were violent riots between Buddhists and Muslims, provoking the Ladakh Buddhist Association to call for a social and economic boycott of Muslims, which was lifted in 1992.
The Ladakh Buddhist Association has said: “There is a deliberate and organised design to convert Kargil’s Buddhists to Islam. In the last four years, about 50 girls and married women with children were allured and converted from village Wakha alone. If this continues unchecked, we fear that Buddhists will be wiped out from Kargil in the next two decades or so. Anyone objecting to such allurement and conversions is harassed.

The Ladakh Buddhist Association accused the state government of laxity in checking "conversions" of Buddhist women to Islam. [http://www.tribuneindia.com/2000/20000113/j&k.htm#2]
