INDIA. Dalai Lama and Tibetan refugees flee to India 

Marilyn Silverstone 

In the late 1950's, as Tibetans rose up against the Chinese authority, they were met with the shelling of their capital city Lhasa and the destruction of scores of monasteries, temples and lives. Tens of thousands fled; the Dalai Lama himself marched for 26 days to reach India in mid April 1959.The 14th Dalai Lama was 24 years old when he fled from Chinese occupation of Tibet and went into exile. Tenzin Gyatso was born on the 6th July 1935 the son of a Tibetan farmer, and had been recognised as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lame who declared the independence of Tibet after the collapse of the Manchu dynasty in 1913.
