<image:caption>Turtuk, on the banks of the River Shyok, Ladakh. In 1971, India took this village from Pakistani control along with roughly three thousand of its people. Families were divided overnight, like spoils of war, across the Line of Control. The River runs through Turtuk, indifferent to the Line of Control. The water crosses the borders that the people cannot.</image:caption>
