When the Dalai Lama left Tibet, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru offered to permit him and his followers to establish a "government-in-exile" in Dharamsala in 1960. Since then, many Tibetan exiles have settled in the town, numbering several thousand. Most of these exiles live in Upper Dharamsala, or McLeod Ganj, where they established monasteries, temples and schools. The town is sometimes known as "Little Lhasa", after the Tibetan capital city, and has become an important tourist destination with many hotels and restaurants, creating a resurgence in tourism and commerce.

    The INVADING and Occupying communists split Tibet in 1965.

    .

    Free Tibet from CCP splittists

  • What is the name of the music that begins at 0:50? It's BEAUTIFUL!

  • When was this recorded?

  • This video has shown me Dharamsala. It's wonderful that the Indian PM let HHDL set up "Little Lhasa" in Dharamsala. I am glad there was compassion in him. And to this day there is a place for the Tibets in exile to call "home" for now.

  • Shugden worship itself it not splittist. It is the people who try to make it a political or religious issue that create a split in the Tibetan and larger global community. Unnecessary.

  • Shugden worship itself is splittist.
