Questions:

1. What was the aftermath of this journey five years down the road? What else did this journey provide besides the school and connecting Zanskar to other cities?

2. How did this journey change the future of how education was viewed throughout India?

3. Did Zanskar become a better region because their children were able to obtain an education?
