I still haven't gotten down to sharing the travel account from that second trip (which was the year before last) :D. Gosh it changed a lot on in the last few years, right -- in terms of the number of visitors?<br /><br />How is the trip coming along?

Because of the suppression of Tibetans in China, a large number of them have fled and settled in India . The Tibetan movement for safeguarding their identity, culture and political space has grievously suffered as a result of Chinese nationalism and China's Tibet policy. The fate of Tibetan nationalism is, to a large extent, tied to the dynamics of the Sino-Indian relations and the course of the internal Tibetan politics and that of its relationship with the community in exile in the post-Dalai Lama era.<br /><br />In the year 1959, when China invaded Tibet, and Dalai Lama sought refuge in India. Our government gave him permission to set up a permanent residence in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh in 1960. Tibetan refugees and followers set up a base in Dharamshala. As is widely known, this is the largest Tibetan settlement in the world outside of Tibet. Then in quick succession, the government provided land in Karnataka, and a second base for the Tibetans to set up schools, monasteries and camps. Thus, Bylakuppe came into existence.<br /><br />Bylakkuppe settlement was established in 1969 with an initial population of 2000 settlers, with the kind generosity of the Central as well as the Karnataka State Government, who had provided 2000 acres of forestland for settlement as well as for cultivation. Subsequently, through the cooperation of local Indians as well as with the moral and financial assitance from International Organizations , the Tibetan settlers, with sheer grit and determination, succeeded in converting the entire forestland into settlement area, thereby rendering 1800 acres land for cultivation and the remaining area being utilized for Housing and Infrastructure.<br /><br />Supplementing a historical note on your well written travel experience through a great place....Pradeep Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116549668240071624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441777609106928347.post-40304785716618268622017-03-01T15:56:11.432+05:302017-03-01T15:56:11.432+05:30nice post.
