| | Tibet: Between surrender and struggle - www.phayul.com |
| | While Tibetans, as Buddhists, believe in reincarnation and the certainty that their spiritual leader will be reborn and found again, there is a realization that the man who led them into exile more than 40 years ago possesses what they claim to be extra special qualities that his "successor" might not be able to replicate. | | | Exiled Tibetans are torn between what many see as the "sell-out" being proposed by the Dalai Lama and their dream of independence for Tibet. | | | The Tibetan exile government has alleged that the Chinese authorities have carried out "genocide" since they took over Tibet in 1951, claiming a death toll of 1.2 million Tibetans and citing attempts to stifle or eradicate the culture and religion. |
