• W2023604442 abstract "Little Lhasa, Tibetans in Exile Amina Muhtar (bio) In 1959, the Tibetan government was forced into exile following an uprising with China. During the ensuing guerilla warfare that lasted fifteen years, Tibet witnessed the death of thousands of citizens. The Dalai Lama and his followers escaped to a hidden valley in the high hills of Dharamsala, India and settled in McLeod Ganj. McLeod Ganj has now become a center for the Tibetan refugee society in India. It boasts a strong resemblance to Lhasa, the original capital of Tibet.
