Who Is Dalai Lama?
The Dalai Lama was born Lhamo Thondup on July 6, 1935 in Taktser, China. At age 15, he assumed political power of Tibet as the Dalai Lama.
The People's Republic of China invaded that same year. Fearing assassination, he and thousands of followers fled to Dharamshala in northern India, where they established an alternative government. Since then, the Dalai Lama has taken numerous actions in hopes of establishing an autonomous Tibetan state within the People's Republic of China.
However, the Chinese government has shown no signs of moving toward peace and reconciliation with Tibet.
