Dalai Lama’s flight to India (1959)
On the Mao’s China map as “Into exile”
31 Mar 1959 — The 23-year-old Dalai Lama reaches Khenzimane after a fortnight’s ride across the Himalaya. He crosses into India, where Nehru grants him asylum. About 80,000 Tibetans follow in 1959–60. The government-in-exile he establishes at Dharamsala still contests Beijing’s account of Tibet.
