Imperial Games in Tibet written by Dilip Sinha - Book Review

from The Historylogy Podcast · host Shinil Subramanian Payamal

In Imperial Games in Tibet: The Struggle for Statehood and Sovereignty, former ambassador Dilip Sinha deftly guides us through the region’s complex geopolitical entanglements, charting its history from the rise of Tibetan Buddhism, through the cloak-and-dagger machinations of the Great Game, to its fateful invasion and annexation by China in 1950. In the process, he reveals the real factors leading up to the Fourteenth Dalai Lama’s escape to India in 1959 – an epochal event that drew the newly independent nation into this political maelstrom and heightened Sino-Indian tensions. More than seventy years later, despite citizens protests and global outcry, Chinese ‘suzerainty’ maintains its grip on Tibet, begging the question: Can Tibet ever be free?Order links of the book 'Imperial Games in Tibet' below:Amazon India:PaperbackKindleAmazon USA:KindleAnd please don't forget to checkout Historylogy.com for latest book reviews and tidbits from the pages of history.Please feel free to our social media ID's for latest updates.
