Sir Basil Gould's Films of Tibet (1940) - extract

[WrellikW]

We owe a debt of gratitude to Sir Basil Gould for these films. They are a glimpse in history that will never be seen again in this lifetime or any other. If it wasn't for him and his party, we would have lost this history forever. The Chinese killed off all of their intellectuals, leaving a idiotic society that spread to Tibet, to kill off a peaceful society there. Luckily, Sir Basil Gould was there prior to this idiocy and preserved it for our benefit. Thank you Sir Basil!!! W. Winningham

It is strange, when the atomic bomb & the 1st jet planes were being built, people were still living like this. Yet, it is not jet planes which reached these people. It was an already long discredited 19th cent. economic & political theory being carried by murderous fanatics. It is not atomic bombs which are the most destructive forces in this world.

@VictorLepanto

Tibetans were different, but they got rid of the Death Penalty in 1913. The execution capital of the world (china) still has the death penalty in 2011 and shows no sign on changing. In my opinion China will soon be 100 years behind the times.

[VictorLepanto]

@HumanRightsVideosT: Exactly so, but they will be dragging the Tibetans down w/ them, along w/ much of the rest of the world. Their economic bullying will certainly wreck most of the countries in the region. The main problem of the PRC is that their radical population control policy will cause such grotesque population imbalances, their politcal order will go violently off the tracks soon. Too many old people dependent on the young, too many women relative to men. Very bad Kharma.

@VictorLepanto

Do you know why the 1 child was introduced ??

Here's a clue from

chinadaily. com.cn/china/2011-05/06/ content_12459023.htm

"China has about 6 billion mu (400 million hectares) of natural grasslands, the second-largest in the world in terms of area. Climate change, excessive grazing and rural development have caused damage to 90 percent of these grasslands."

FREE Tibet and China from @Environmental @Destruction

[VictorLepanto]

@FalunGongIsAmazing: it is the stupidity of one party rule which is the ultimate cause of all those things. A small band of elite leaders, unanswerable to the subjects they rule, who are insulated by vast distance from the real consequences of their policies. The population is irrelevant to their environmental damage. In terms of scale, people to land area, Taiwan is far more densely populated. It was hearing the zero population hysteria from the West in the 70s which caused this policy.

[ikhamo]

they rode jackass in lhasa of old tibet

[chena3]

nice hats

in Tibet

[gatheringleaves]

Wow I absolutely Love Their Clothes!

[jan1035]

At 2.02 are they playing darts??

[tinchojos]

the best part of pre 1950s is there was non chinese in tibet an independent tibet

[ChinaKillsNunsLoots]

The overwhelming majority of Tibetans in Tibet were happy before 1950.

But in 2009 the overwhelming majority of Tibetans in Tibet are not happy.

[hcn9]

"The overwhelming majority of Tibetans in Tibet were happy before 1950"

LOOOOOOOOL how are the overwhelming majority of tibetan happy before 1950 when 95% of the population were living as slaves with no healthcare, education etc.? u write so much bullshit omg AHAHA!

[StopExecutionsTibet]

There were peasant farmers in Tibet before the communist invasion of INDEPENDENT Tibet in 1949.

The worst thing that happened was floggings.

[HumanRightsVideosTib]

There was no death penalty in Tibet in 1948. In 2009 Tibetans will get executed for starting fires and looting.

Yet the communists have been LOOTING Tibet for nearly 60 years.

[hcn9]

they are gonna deservely get executed for starting fires which killed innocent ppl including those 5 young girls

the dalai liar has yet to be punished for his sins and should not be called a buddhist anymore becuz he is a religious dictator

[HumanRightsVideosTib]

Many backward countries have the DEATH Penalty.

The RACIST Terrorist Hu Clique should be put on trial for ALL their crimes.

[hcn9]

"Many backward countries have the DEATH Penalty."

america has the death penalty, japan has the death penalty, taiwan has the death penalty, south kroea has the death penalty, vietnam has the death penalty...are they all backward countries too?

almost all countries in the world had or have the death penalty. dumbass

[HumanRightsVideosT]

Most civilised countries do NOT have the death penalty. Learn more about civilised countries.

Tibet did away with the death penalty nearly 100 years ago. But then the backwards communists invaded and put humans rights on a backwards path.

Tibetans were happy in Tibet in 1948. No stupid death sentences or torture.

[hcn9]

so US, south korea, japan and taiwan are not civilized countries?

LOL no toture in 1948? are u joking? there was torture in old tibet. limbs were amputated and eyes were gouge out. go read it urself. back then they had NO forms of any human rights. not one. torture was so severe many of them died. i seen the pics of instruments of torture they used back then. i seen the pics of chopped off limbs. its all on the internet. google "tibetan serfs torture". theres 17000 links for u to enjoy. idiot

[HumanRightsVideosT]

So you agree that China is not civilised.

[unit45x]

Do you want to know why? Because the CCP needs to use the Tibetans as an excuse in their domestic politics to distract the majority of the "Chinese" people so they don't think about the reality of their situation under occupation by the regime.

[HumanRightsVideosT]

Regime = system of government. Which is perhaps a fraction polite when referring to the communist party

On How the Chinese Communist Party Is an Evil Cult

The Communist Party is essentially an evil cult that harms mankind. Although the Communist Party has never called itself a religion, it matches every single trait of a religion. At the beginning of its establishment, it regarded Marxism as the absolute truth in the world.

[HumanRightsVideosT]

It exhorted people to engage in a life-long struggle for the goal of building a communist heaven on earth.

[TomStrong08]

This video clamors for some music to be added in.

[ChinaKillsTibetans]

Good point. Do you have any suggestions for which music or song should be added ???

[LoneDerangerer]

look at what the filthy chinese invaders destroyed. A beautiful civililsation

[weissman2000]

LoneDerangerer, have you ever been to Tibet? If not, then I suggest you to go there and have a look. Don't blame the Chinese having destroyed Disneyland and left you high and dry without anywhere to go to fill your empty hours. You might be pleasantly surprised.

[TheMightyGuri]

china created a tourist disneyland called LHASA with chinese brothels

nice

[UKchinaman]

Look what the filthier european invaders did to N&S america, and africa, You ignorant fool donot know who you're insulting. look at your cold white hands and ask your people has destroyed whole contenents.

[TheMightyGuri]

yes, all white people are doing that! still today... oh no.. we changed

welcome to 21 century TODAY

now go back to work! who said you can use the internet during your 20 hour shift huh??

[UKchinaman]

then wouldn't the European Americans go back to their European countries and leave the native Americans, Amerindians and aboriginals to their land as they did in HK?

[TheMightyGuri]

maybe if you ask them nice?

im not american

[UKchinaman]

then maybe you should know better!

[TheMightyGuri]

and? is that a excuse? you wanna build on that or do you protest against racist discrimination?

how does it feel to be part of a nation which is doing the same shit today that white europeans did centurys before???

[HughJason]

Fabulous. Now I understand what Robert Byron meant when he wrote that it couldn't be mere coincidence that the country (Russia) which, of all countries, most embraced industrial progress, should also be the greyest, whilst the one (Tibet) that, of all the countries in the world, most resisted it, should also be the most colourful.

This BFI channel is wonderful. Thanks.

[weissman2000]

HughJason, while a country (Russia) may boast to have been a superpower and the other (Tibet) is begging to be a country. What is better for the people of the realm? Colour or substance?

[UKchinaman]

Tibet was ruled since the Yuan Dynasty with periods of political unrest when the Daily llama assumes power

[TheMightyGuri]

"Tibet was ruled since the Yuan Dynasty with periods of political unrest when the Daily llama assumes power"

false information... yes it was ruled since yuan dinasty! but nut from HAN chinese, but MONGOLIANS! the same MONGOLIANS ruled over CHINA at the same TIME!

check history

[UKchinaman]

If They become EMPOROR OF CHINA then isn't it china which it is being ruled, he wasn't known as EMPOROR OF MONGOLIA, CHINA AND TIBET!!!!

[TheMightyGuri]

yeah, thats right! a mongolian who ruled over tibet and china at the same time :) you're right

how does that make tibet a part of china??

isnt it like tibet and china were part of mongolian empire?

use your brain little more please

its sooo easy

[UKchinaman]

"He wished to signal to the Han Chinese that he intended to adopt the trappings and style of a Chinese ruler" Chinese ruler, not a colony!

[TheMightyGuri]

""He wished to signal to the Han Chinese that he intended to adopt the trappings and style of a Chinese ruler""

lol how stupid you are :D

he wished the signal to the Han Chinese

and he wanted to adopt the trappings and style of e Chinese ruler as you said ^^

why?

because he was a mongolian

-.- damn.. you got air in your head? or water??

[UKchinaman]

remember, all Han are chinese, but not all chinese is han, and the hans itself is a mixture of diffrent peoples. I find find it slightly for someone to use the term Han and Chinese interchangeably.

CHINESE RULER OF CHINA, IF WILLIAM THE CONQUERER WAS NORMAN BUT HE WAS THE ENGLISH KING OF ENGLAND!

[TheMightyGuri]

and did you know that tibet hat a different treaty with the mongols at this time?? :)

tibetan monks were the spiritual leaders of the mongolians

han chinese were just "people"

[UKchinaman]

but whatever they call themselves, China and Tibet was one country!

[TheMightyGuri]

"but whatever they call themselves, China and Tibet was one country!"

yes, under a mongolian rule

after yuan, both declared independence

and there is a peace treaty between china and tibet since 821 B.C which was broken by the communists in 1949

dont try to teach me history

[UKchinaman]

and there is a peace treaty between china and tibet since 821 B.C which was broken by the communists in 1949???

this is total bollocks and you know it!

[TheMightyGuri]

no its not bollocks, its a fact

and that just broke your logic with the yuan dinasty :) it wasnt china that conquered tibet (remember, peace treaty??) it was the MONGOLS!!

history for rookies

[UKchinaman]

you said "and there is a peace treaty between china and tibet since 821 B.C which was broken by the communists in 1949"

then why did the ming and Qing dynastys send mandarins to oversee the daily lives of the tibetans

why does Qing and ROC maps both show Tibet as being in China? and how that 1913 treaty with mongolia happen? when mongolia declared independance in 1924?

[TheMightyGuri]

"then why did the ming and Qing dynastys send mandarins to oversee the daily lives of the tibetans"

because yuan was mongolian rule and qing was manchurian rule

"why does Qing and ROC maps both show Tibet as being in China? and how that 1913 treaty with mongolia happen? when mongolia declared independance in 1924?"

qing conquered china and tibet :)

search for MING dinasty, a true Han rule and check if tibet is part of it... that was after yuan and qing

[UKchinaman]

That is a hollow point, may i reilliterate all Han are chinese but naot all chinese ae han, The mongols comes frpom a part of china at the time of the Ming Dynasty. Tibet became apart from China in the Ming is because the Ming emporors were taoists and since did not care for tibet.

[TheMightyGuri]

but mongols conquered china in yuan dinasty, which was BEFORE ming.... so therefore its not a hollow point

and di you saw a MING dinasty with tibet being a part of the ming empire?? if not, why not?

ask yourself :) the answer is right here at my writings

"the Ming emporors were taoists and since did not care for tibet"

what was the majority of china at this time??

[UKchinaman]

the ruling class ditates all, manchurians made the han adopt te manchu queue, and yes taoism was quite imortant throughout chinese history.

and yes i have seen ming maps with tibet included, those maps with no tibet shows the land as being barron land anyway.

there are no exact borders in asia at that time, just barriers, there was the great wall to the north, but ask yourself, why aren't there any in the west?

[TheMightyGuri]

the great wall is indeed interessting

[UKchinaman]

surely, the mongols was a great army and so chinese (not just han) had to build a wall to defend themselves, surely if as you said the tibetan army was so strong, why didn't the chinese (not just han) build a huge fuck off wall to defend thenselves from the great tibetan army?

[TheMightyGuri]

how comes they didnt build the wall around tibet?

[UKchinaman]

because the a big fuck off mountain range perhaps...

[TheMightyGuri]

really? :)

[UKchinaman]

you don't say ;)

[TheMightyGuri]

u got google earth?

[UKchinaman]

you only need to go to primary school.

[TheMightyGuri]

is that a yes or a no??

because at primary school, you learn to answer

[UKchinaman]

no, this computer is bare crap

[TheMightyGuri]

ok ^^

[Ganeschar]

Migthy UKchinaman account is closed ???

[TheMightyGuri]

yes it says its closed

why?

[Ganeschar]

Ich denke mal war so ein sp., du verstehst, habe die Erfahrung gemacht.

[TheMightyGuri]

ist gut möglich

hat viele solche

traurige gestalten

[TheMightyGuri]

The Yuan Dynasty (Chinese: 元朝; pinyin: Yuáncháo; Mongolian: Dai Ön Ulus/Дай Юан Улс), or Great Yuan Empire (simplified Chinese: 大元国; traditional Chinese: 大元國; pinyin: Dà Yuán Diguó) was both the continuation of the Mongol Empire and the Mongol founded historical state in Mongolia and China

[TheMightyGuri]

and to back up my teachings a little bit more...

are you chinese?? what means "yuan" ?? :)

translate it for us please

[IInformYou]

I wonder how many of the people in this video survived Communist terrorism. Something which isn't publicly taught in the West.

[mutikonka]

Such a beautiful time and place.

[sheraton114]

Land of the Gods.

[Ommodawn]

Absolutely fascinating footage. I read somewhere that some of the armour we see in this footage had calligraphy of "Allah" on them from contact with Arab armies centuries before. Old Tibet really must have been a land of wonder and frozen history, indeed.

[Ganeschar]

Thanks for uploading this historical film about Tibet.
