True Tibetan History

Was Tibetan theocracy before Dalai Lama fled China really a Shangri-La?Or rather, lies, serfdom, torture, mutilation and paradise only for the noble class? To contradict the common Tibet image in the imagination of Westerners, this National Geographic documentary revealed the true face of Tibet before Tibet returned to Chinese rule again --- a land where most residents were awaiting liberation from the dark age of serfdom, which of course shook the interests of land possessers and noble class, who finally initiated the 1959 revolt against Beijing in reaction to the drastic agricultural reform.

Before sweeping democratic reform was launched by the central government in 1959, Tibetan people had suffered under a system of feudal serfdom at the hands of religious-political rulers.

The serf-owner class, consisting of three major estate-holders - local administrative officials, aristocrats and upper-class monastery lamas - exerted extremely brutal political suppression and economic exploitation on the serfs and slaves.
