TIBET:Roof of the world.

Roof of the world.

Since, China’s invasion of Tibet in 1949, more than a million of Tibetans have lost their lives as a direct result of the occupation. Many of our people died during the invasion and the year of the resistance. Many more lost their lives during the mindless carnage of the “cultural revolution”. The Chinese government force have plundered and destroyed more than 6000 ancient temples and monasteries in Tibet. Many historic private homes and public monuments were demolished, looted and razed to the ground.

Even today, there is continued practice of ethnic cleansing by introducing strategies like population transfers, depriving the Tibetans to practice their religion and culture, introducing Chinese language as their official language, new railway line project to serve the interest of china’s economy to the expenses of Tibet’s natural resources.

As geographically it’s kind of in the top of the world as its up north. And it being a cold country, the livelihood is kind of hard so they are depending on meat and flesh and their most important meal corn flour called “Tsampa”. Tibet is a country with a little population but because of it’s uncompromising lot of natural resources, China’s eye fell on us and we became the prey.

Tibet is a country of monarch, its ruled by kings but the last king was killed so the monarch rule stopped. Then came our religious leader, which was chosen by the citizens of Tibet. And the Dalai Lama incarnation generated since. And the present Dalai lama is the 14^th reincarnation of His Holiness.

About the livelihood and the lifestyle of people in Tibet is simple and most of them are “NOMAD”. And their livelihood are totally depended on nature.The Tibetan economy is solely dominated by agriculture. For eg. Hunting, gathering, cattle rearing and many more.

It is also said that parts of Tibet lies in central Asia. Tibet has some of the world’s tallest mountains, with some of them getting listed in top ten. Tibet has also been called the water tower of Asia. In India most of the rivers are originated from Tibet. The environment is severely dry for nine months of the year. Tibet is divided into three provinces. There are over 800 settlements now in Tibet. And the capital of Tibet is Lhasa.

Tibet used to an autonomous region but now that its been invaded for like centuries, its ruled by Chinese communist party and governs or rules as a communist.

The proof that Tibet is not a part of china is clearly known by the difference in the country flag.

The last wishes of the Tibetan people are to get to go to Tibet and have a life over there with no more Chinese government. And to sing our national anthem in front of Potala.
