Question

Why is the dalai lama in exhile?

Answer 1

On March 31, 1959, he began a permanent exile in India, settling at Dharamsala in Punjab, where he established a democratically based shadow Tibetan government. Back in Tibet, the Chinese adopted brutal repressive measures against the Tibetans, provoking charges from the Dalai Lama of genocide.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The Dalai Lama fled from Tibet in 1959 after a failed uprising against China's occupation. Since then he has lived in Dharamsala, a hill station in northern India, where hundreds of Tibetan monks in maroon robes trek up and down the steep roads alongside foreign backpackers.
