In the 7th century, this relationship reached its peak when Srong-btsan Sgam-po (Songtsan Gambol, the king of the Tubo kingdom who ruled the Tibetan Plateau at that time twice sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty emperor to propose to Princess Wen Cheng who he later married. The Tibetans and Hans had through the marriage of their royal families and various meetings, formed close economic and cultural relations laying the groundwork for the ultimate foundation of a unified nation. In Lhasa the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, the statue of Princess Wen Cheng is still enshrined and worshipped in the Potala Palace. The Monument to the Alliance between the Tibetans and the Han erected in the 9th century still stands in the square in front of the Jokhang Temple. After the People's Republic of China was founded, the central government notified local Tibetan authorities to ''send delegates to Beijing to negotiate the peaceful liberation of Tibet'' On 23rd May 1951 the ''17-Article Agreement'' was signed after delegates from the central government and the local Tibetan government reached agreement on a series of questions concerning Tibet's peaceful liberation. The Dalai Lama sent a telegram and the Baingen Lama issued a statement both supporting the ''17-Article Agreement'' and expressing their de- sires to ''safeguard the unification of the motherland and her territorial sovereignty.''

Where do SHERPAS ... Facts about Yaks Q: What does the term SHERPA mean A: Although westerners pronounce it "Sher-pa" the native Sherpa pronunciation is "Shar-wa." Shar means "east" wa means "person" - in Sherpa and Tibetan language. In Tibetan script, the word "Shar-wa" is spelled like this. The word "Sharwa" is also a relatively recent identifier. As the eminent Nepali anthropologist Dor Bahadur Bista remarks in his extensive descriptions of Nepal's many ethnic and tribal groups "Peoples of Nepal" (Ratna Pustak, Kathmandu, 1967): "Through the course of time the name Sherpa has gained so much currency that it almost acts as a tribal name, and it does in fact define a specific group of people. Before Sherpas were so highly publicized by mountaineering expeditions they introduced themselves to other societies as "Shar Khombo" - i.e., the inhabitants of Shar-Khumbu. " (p.162) Q: Who is the world's most famous Sherpa?

Extractions: Little is known of the beginnings of the Tibetan people. They originated from the nomadic, warlike tribes known as the Qiang. Chinese records of these tribes date back as far as the 2nd century BC. However, the people of Tibet were not to emerge as a politically united force until the 7th century AD. But by the mid-seventeeth century Mongol power was on the wane and the new Manchu or Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) in China began to cast covetous glances in Tibet's direction. When the Great Fifth Dalai Lama died in 1682 there were fears that the Chinese would seize the chance to invade. Amazingly, his death was kept secret for 15 years as an impersonator was put in his place. Unfortunately when the new Dalai Lama was found and enthroned his main interests were sex, wine and love poetry.

Tibet's history can be divided into four periods The Tsanpo's Period This period starts from Nyatri Tsanpo, the first of the Tsanpos, in 127 BC (historians differ in view of the date, but this date is taken from the White Annales, a reliable book on Tibetan history) and ends in 842 AD at the death of Lang Dharma, the last of the Tsanpos, who was assassinated by a Buddhist monk owing to Lang Dharma's ruthless persecution of Buddhism.

The period of Decentralisation This period began in 842 AD the year of Lang Dharma's assassination, and ended in about 1260 AD, when Pagpa, the Abbot of Sakya monastery, became a vassal of Kublai Khan, the first Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. During this period a little is known in history except that Tibet vecame decentralized into a number of petty principalities.

Extractions: intro wallpaper travelogue history ... links Pakistan was born out of the fires of Partition in 1947, when the British pulled out of their old colony. What had been British India split along religious lines, with a Hindu India bordered by Muslim West and East Pakistan (the latter subsequently became Bangladesh). Mass migration and ethnic massacres took place on an epic scale as the new countries sought to define themselves. The Kashmir situation continues to cause tension between Pakistan and India. The state was largely Muslim but ruled by the Sikh Maharajah Hari Singh, who wanted to remain independant from both India and Pakistan. Muslim Pathan tribesmen forced the issue; they declared Jihad shortly after Partition and invaded Kashmir. India flew in troops and the two countries were at war. A UN brokered ceasefire split Kashmir down the middle and gave each country a piece to administer, but there is still periodic fighting across the glaciers. The fact that both India and Pakistan now have nuclear capabilities is ominous indeed. The Karakorum Highway or KKH runs for 1300 km from Islamabad across the Himalaya to Kashgar in NW China. It took 20 years to bulldoze a road through country that had previously only be open to animal traffic. It's a constant battle keeping it open, especially in the Indus and Ghez gorges where poor blasting techniques have destabilised entire mountainsides. Landslides, earthquakes and river erosion take out big chunks of the road each year, so although much of the highway is paved you'll frequently find yourself bouncing over scree and rubble for hundreds of metres at a time.

Extractions: Taking the first step toward what has become 50 years of oppression, China's People's Liberation Army invades Tibet, killing more than 10,000. Repeated attempts by The Dalai Lama to negotiate with China are dismissed. In 1950, the 15-year-old Dalai Lama is forced into full leadership of Tibet, while in 1951 a Tibetan Delegation is forced to sign the 17-Point Agreement, promising "Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet." During 1959, The Dalai Lama went to China to speak with Chairman Mao Zedong. Mao told him, "Religion is poison. ... Tibet and Mongolia have both been poisoned by it." Also during this year, the Chinese retaliate against the Tibetan resistance, killing more than 87,000. On March 17, 1959, The Dalai Lama escapes His sacred homeland, seeking political asylum in India. The Chinese declare martial law as thousands of Tibetan refugees begin pouring into India. Smash the Four Olds 1958-1976 During Chairman Mao Zedong's "Great Leap Forward," Tibetans suffered through the Tibetan Cultural Revolution experiencing some of the worst human rights abuses ever known, under the slogan "Smash the Four Olds:" old ideas, old culture, old customs and old habits. Before the Chinese occupation, there are 6,000 Tibetan monasteries in Tibet. After the Cultural Revolution, there are six. Hundreds of thousands of Monks, Nuns and civilians are imprisoned or killed for wearing traditional hairstyles and clothing, engaging in traditional song or dance, or voicing their religious beliefs. Rituals such as prostrations, mantras, prayer wheels, circumambulation, throwing tsampa and burning juniper or incense are strictly prohibited. Anything representing the cultural identity of the Tibetan people is eradicated.

Extractions: Early Jesuit Travellers in Central Asia, 1603-1721 by C Wessels This unusual book gives an insight into the often forgotten pioneering travel and discovery by Jesuit missionaries in Asia, especially Tibet. This book is a compilation of geographical, historical and cultural information collected by the Jesuits during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Each chapter details fascinating first impressions of people and things unseen by any Europeans before. A valuable source of information for anyone interested in the early exploration of the Himalayan region. "Although few of the European travellers to Tibet in the 19th century realised it, much of the ground that they were exploring had already been traversed by the Jesuit missionaries over 100 years before. This book, based on manuscript as well as printed sources, chronicles the journeys of all the Jesuits who reached Tibet. The most interesting journeys are those of Stephen Cacella and John Cabral (1626-32) who visited Gyantse and Shigatse, John Grueber and Albert d'Orville (1661-64) who travelled from China through eastern Tibet to Lhasa and then went on to India, and Ippolito Desideri (1714-22) who travelled from Kashmir along the Tsangpo to Lhasa." - John Whelpton
