  • fascinating!

  • @SchnackDaBabs It is a look at the past.

    Most cultural assets were destroyed.

    Between 1966 and 1976, destroyed the Red Guards of the Cultural Revolution almost everything.

  • @ MorganOthelloLFee

    Most of the Tibetan monasteries were already wrecked before the Cultural Revolution started. Chinese culture is also being systematically wrecked by the CCP (not just during the Cultural Revolution). The excellent documentary

    shows the wholesale destruction of Culture by the backward CCP. But "Inside Tibet" is excellent !!!

  • @HumanRightsVideosT Thanks for the information. What has happened to the Tibetans, is a cultural genocide. It is a shame for China and the world.

  • i belong to Sikkim and it was just fascinating watching the video. It also shows the Chogyals sister whcih was amazing!

  • Thanks for posting this video. It's a valuable record of some aspects of the lost Tibetan culture, which is still in the process of being utterly destroyed by the Chinese. First came the brutal military invasion, and since then there has been a continuing invasion of hundreds of thousands of Chinese immigrants, who now outnumber Tibetans in Lhasa by a factor of two. It is as wicked a cultural genocide as ever has occurred. Yet, Marxists everywhere believe themselves "enlightened".

  • Fantastic video!!!

  • Super Video und ein kleines Stück Zeitgeschichte. Gratuliere und Daumen hoch! Karlheinz
