Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 28 April 1954, history was made. Never before had any nation outreached another nation that did not even share a common border, with an offer to occupy its immediate neighbour, sacrificing strategic interests. Strangely, the country that was directly involved was not even consulted. To add to the weirdness, the Indian Government continued to defend China’s act of treason against Tibet in international forums and also misled its citizens. How the India-Tibet border was converted into the Sino-Indian border in 1954 is both intriguing and tragic. With Great Britain in the lead, several other nations that had exploited Tibet for decades for various one-sided benefits brazenly decided to desert it at the time of its crisis and feigned conniving ignorance about its political status. Tibet, as a theocracy, with no armed forces and reliable ally, was an alluring target for expansionist China. What lies ahead for Tibet is a geostrategically important issue not only for India but also the world at large—to contain China’s outrageous expansionist and hegemonistic designs. The failure of China to subdue Tibetan nationalism, religion, culture and heritage by suppressive means over seven decades is indicative that the resurrection of Tibet is not a myth but a possibility in the future.

Book excerpt: The mineral-rich mountains of Tibet so far have been largely untouched by China’s growing economy. Nor has Beijing been able to settle Tibet with politically reliable peasant Chinese. That is all about to change as China’s 12th Five-Year Plan, from 2011 to 2015, calls for massive investment in copper, gold, silver, chromium and lithium mining in the region, with devastating environmental and social outcomes. Despite great interest in Tibet worldwide, Spoiling Tibet is the first book that investigates mining at the roof of the world. A unique, authoritative guide through the torrent of online posts, official propaganda and exile speculation.

Book excerpt: Theocratic nation Tibet lost its identity and also headed towards the destruction of its religion and culture after its illegal occupation by the PRC. How great countries like Great Britain, the United States, India, and other world powers of 1950 including the UNO acted with total indifference and lack of concern, makes a painful episode. The most intriguing was India's myopic Tibet policy. Sharing a border that stretched close to 3,500 km from east to west, Tibet was of vital strategic importance to its security interests. Amazingly, India's actions revealed the bankruptcy of incisive intellect by newly raised Indian Foreign stalwarts under the leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Great Britain that had commercially exploited Tibet by imposing unfair trade conventions and had recognized it as a free nation, unabashedly decided to dump the history and act as if Tibet had never existed. President Roosevelt in 1942 wrote to the Dalai Lama seeking assistance to use the Tibetan territories to supply the Nationalist forces of China, Tibet willingly offered full assistance. However, later to please China the US Department of States disowned Tibet's freedom. To cover the up the exchange of letter between heads of two states, that is President and the Dalai Lama, the US foreign policy stalwarts came up with an ingenious but ruefully solution. It was asserted that the letter was addressed to the Dalai Lama, the spiritual head of Tibet and not to the secular head. Nothing could have more ridiculous and unimaginative. It is painful that same set of stalwarts unabashedly scuttled the possibility of averting Korean War by failing to correctly and objectively appreciate Tibet's strategic importance. The price paid was 62,446 dead/missing, 103, 84 wounded and 3746 taken prisoners. The UN role in taking suitable and timely action to protect Tibet against aggression by the PRC was revelation of its intrinsic weaknesses and partisan approach. The critical issue about Tibet is its future. Will it be ever possible for Tibet to regain its lost position and become a rightful member of the international polity? Immediate response in the majority of the cases would be "No." However, it should not be forgotten that history is witness to the fact that any number of empires emerged, and no empire howsoever vast or strong lasted forever. Interestingly, by and large, they fell not under pressure from external forces but mostly by internal dissensions. Nations that had lost their freedom resurrected to occupy their rightful place. Tibet, with its compassionate and humble but brave and daring people, led by not only spiritually enlightened but also an experienced and pragmatic statesman the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, has by his persistent effort over six decades has laid a sound groundwork to ensure its resurgence at the right time.

This book was released on 2018-04-29 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 01 October 1949 when the PRC came into being, Tibet was an independent nation and had plainly rebutted the offer of the Chinese Communists to be liberated. It also asserted plainly that it was a self-governing political entity and had no intention, whatsoever, to be "Liberated." It had no inhibitions about Chinese intentions and understood what the Chinese meant by "liberation." Tibet, an unarmed theocratic nation was caught up in a dire situation with no solution in sight. Under desperation, it sought help from nations, that it mistakenly thought to be well disposed towards it. They had treated it as an independent nation in the past, albeit for self-aggrandizement. Then onwards Tibet was on a betrayal trail. Unfortunately, all the nations that had at one time in the past taken advantage of Tibet, failed to come forward to help. Instead, they unethically and blatantly put up a pretense as if they had nothing to do with Tibet. Amazingly, the weirdest reaction was from India that not only had diplomatic relation with it but also had a strategic stake in its continued existence as an independent nation. The UK that had signed an international treaty with it in 1914 and economically exploited it for decades explained its indifference by deviously passing on its liabilities arising out of the terms of the treaty to India. The US that emerged as a superpower after the Second World War and proclaimed itself to be champion of freedom, liberty, nonaggression, human rights etcetera and masterminded the formation of UN to ensure world peace and mutual-coexistence of nations, turned Nelson's eye when the question of Tibet came up. How the US lost a strategic advantage of setting up a military base in Tibet, both to contain the spread of Communism and the possibility of averting the Korean war, makes an overwhelming account. What is Tibet's future? As long as Tibetan spirit and nationalism survives there is no reason to give up its resurrection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1950, within days of the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, Mao achieved an exceptional feat that no ruler of Dynastic China had ever accomplished before - the annexation of Tibet. The achievement was unique in that Tibet, with a territorial expanse four and a half times the size of France, a cultural heritage as old as that of any ancient civilization of the world, and seat of one of largest religions of the world, was forcibly occupied without any intervention by nations who claimed to be champions of liberty, freedom, human rights, and equality. Amazingly, the nation whose national security was directly affected by the act, not only remained oblivious, but played an active role in the demise of Tibet. It was a tragedy that was to torment India forever. This book offers a stirring account of the secret history of Tibet from its earliest settlement, its Golden Age, its heroes, its wars, its politics and intrigues, its transition into one of the most peaceful and spiritual nations in the world and finally, the death blow to its independence. The transmission of Buddhism, mainly by Indian Buddhist intellectuals in Tibet, resulted in converting Tibetan warriors, who by their valour and grit established one of the largest empires in Central Asia, into pacifists. The tragedy was waiting to occur…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a translation of one of the most influential and important books from Tibet in the modern era, a passionate indictment of Chinese policies and an eloquent analysis of protests that swept Tibet from March, 2008 - the 'Earth Rat' year according to the Tibetan calendar - as a re-awakening of Tibetan national consciousness and solidarity. The Division of Heaven and Earth was banned by the Chinese government on publication, and led to Shokdung being disappeared and imprisoned for nearly six months. This English translation is being made available for the first time since copies began to circulate underground in Tibet. The author, Tagyal -- who uses the pen name Shokdung, meaning morning conch-- one of Tibet's leading intellectuals, wrote his book in response to an unprecedented wave of bold demonstrations and expressions of Tibetan solidarity and national identity. In his foreword Matthew Akester, a Tibet specialist who translated this book into English, offers an account of the significance of these developments, which transformed the political landscape across the plateau and led to a sustained and violent crackdown by the Chinese authorities that continues to this day. Shokdung's book is regarded as the most daring and wide-ranging critique of China's policies in Tibet since the 10th Panchen

Book excerpt: This beautiful tradepaper graphic novel tells the story of one man taking on an empire, calling for truth, peace, and justice for his Tibetan people. Here, in full color for the first time, people can come to know the whole drama of his lifelong struggle. Since the age of 15, the Dalai Lama has defended his people against one of the last great empires, the People’s Republic of China. Under its "dictatorship of the proletariat," China began to invade Tibet in 1950, decimating and then continually oppressing its people. Since colonialism cannot be practiced in our era of self-determined nations, China always maintains that the Tibetans are a type of Chinese, using propaganda and military power to crush Tibet’s unique culture and identity. Yet the Dalai Lama resists by using only the weapon of truth—along with resolute nonviolence—even worrying some of his own people by seeking dialogue and reconciliation based on his more realistic vision. The great 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet has become the first global Dalai Lama, a prominent transnational leader of all who want to make the dramatic changes actually necessary for life on earth to thrive for centuries to come. Considered the incarnation of the Buddhist savior Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara—archangel of universal compassion—he is believed to appear in many forms, at many different times, whenever and wherever beings suffer. Representing the plight of his beloved Tibetan people to the world, he has also engaged with all people who suffer oppression and injustice, as recognized in 1989 by his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Most importantly, the Dalai Lama walks his talk throughout these pages, as he has throughout his life, and he radiates a powerful hope that we can and will prevail.Man of Peace presents the inside story of his amazing life and vision, in the high tension of the military occupation of Tibet and the ongoing genocide of its people—a moving work of political and historical nonfiction brought to life in the graphic novel form—here for all to see.

Into Tibet is the incredible story of a 1949–1950 American undercover expedition led by America’s first atomic agent, Douglas S. Mackiernan—a covert attempt to arm the Tibetans and to recognize Tibet’s independence months before China invaded. A Nepal-based American journalist reveals how the clash between the State Department and the CIA, as well as unguided actions by field agents, hastened the Chinese invasion of Tibet. A gripping narrative of survival, courage, and intrigue among the nomads, princes, and warring armies of inner Asia, Into Tibet rewrites the accepted history behind the Chinese invasion of Tibet. “A gripping tale.” —The Washington Post

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recounts the life stories - stories of loss and hope, of anxieties and aspirations - of generations of exiled Tibetans living in India since the late 1950s after the Chinese takeover of Tibet. Located in the realm of psycho-historical analysis, this work has a dual focus in interpreting and analyzing these life stories. First, a consistent effort is made to unravel the psychologically devastating consequences following refugeehood and torture. A simultaneous focus searches for symbols of human resilience - the opening up of creative possibilities and a return to renewed meanings in the lives of these exiles. Two central symbols of continuity among this community which are discussed are the Dalai Lama and the philosophy of Buddhism. This is a unique book that looks at issues of contemporary interest and relevance to the Tibetan community today, providing a different view of their 'place' in the wider political sphere. Lives in Exile - Exploring the World of Tibetan Refugees will be of interest to scholars in the fields of psychology, history, and refugee studies and to the general reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “With this memoir by a ‘simple monk’ who spent 33 years in prisons and labor camps for resisting the Chinese, a rare Tibetan voice is heard.” —The New York Times Book Review Palden Gyatso was born in a Tibetan village in 1933 and became an ordained Buddhist monk at eighteen—just as Tibet was in the midst of political upheaval. When Communist China invaded Tibet in 1950, it embarked on a program of “reform” that would eventually affect all of Tibet’s citizens and nearly decimate its ancient culture. In 1967, the Chinese destroyed monasteries across Tibet and forced thousands of monks into labor camps and prisons. Gyatso spent the next twenty-five years of his life enduring interrogation and torture simply for the strength of his beliefs. Palden Gyatso’s story bears witness to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the strength of Tibet’s proud civilization, faced with cultural genocide. “To readers of this memoir, however untraveled, Tibet will never again seem remote or unfamiliar. . . . Gyatso reminds us that the language of suffering is universal.” —Library Journal “Has the ring of undeniable truth. . . . Palden Gyatso’s clear-sighted eloquence (in Tsering Shakya’s fluent translation) makes his tale even more engrossing.” —San Francisco Chronicle
