WHAT HAPPENED TO TIBET?

After the occupation by China in 1959, Tibet was divided into three parts. The eastern part - Kham, and the northern part - Amdo, were assimilated into Chinese provinces. What China now refers to as Tibet is the central part - The Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). The Dalai Lama was not even born in this part of Tibet. Tibet is now less than half of its original size.

The total Tibetan population of this region is now about six million, while the Chinese population is greater and increasing quickly under a policy known as sinofication.   Tibet's schools are taught only in Chinese. If you take away someone's language, you also take away their culture.
