China took control of Tibet in 1950 in what it calls a “peaceful liberation” of the remote, Himalayan region.
An uprising against Chinese rule in Tibet erupted in 1958 and troops crushed it the following year. The Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, fled from the crackdown and was granted asylum in India. Dalai Lama has lived mostly in Dharamsala from where he has been advocating autonomy for Tibet by peaceful means.
The March was taken out by the
Regional Tibetan Youth Congress in which around 100 people participated shouting slogan demanding the end of the Chinese rule over Tibet. They also shouted slogans against China. They were carrying placards with various slogans 'long live Dalai Lama', 'Moist leave India Leave Tibet, Stop all kind of Tortures in Tibet'.
