Don't agreeBy: Alex | 30-Oct-2009Reply | ForwardTibet was part of china since Yuan dynasty (13 century) and during Ming dynasty, tibet was administered by the China central government, the religious and military leaders in Tibet all need to be approved by the central gov. and this continued in Qing dynasty. Don't know why the author insist Tibet was independent til 1950, you should check wikipedia at least.
The author is ignorant in the history of TibetBy: WT | 26-Oct-2009Reply | ForwardPeople still know Nalanda because of Han-Chinese NOT Tibetans.For a long time, Tibet was not part of China. Only about 300 years ago, China annexed Tibet. In 1793, an edict of Chinese emperor established the selection procedure of Dalai Lama, Panchen Lama and other senior lamas. The selection of 14th Dalai Lama was also approved by Chinese central government.
