March 10, marked as the Tibetan Uprising Day, commemorates the Tibet 1959 armed rebellion against Tibet’s occupation by the People’s Republic of China. Tibet uprising, a part of the Tibet freedom movement, failed and the Tibet independence movement was violently suppressed, forcing the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso to flee from the Tibetan country. Tibet today continues to be under the rule of the Chinese government.
Tibet Problem:
The Free Tibet Movement
People supporting the Free Tibet movement through the membership of organizations such as International Tibet Independence Movement observe this day. They organize campaigns and protests to draw the attention of the world towards the Tibet issue.
Religion has a strong influence on one’s life in Tibet. Tibetan Buddhism is the predominant religion of the Tibetan Autonomous Region. One of the major traditions of Tibetan Buddhism is Gelugpa, headed by His Holiness Dalai Lama, who is the leader of Tibet Independence Movement through the Tibetan government in exile.
