The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, fled Tibet and came to India in
1959 following the failed Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule. The Dalai Lama, along with thousands of Tibetan refugees, sought asylum in India, and he was granted refuge by the Indian government. Since then, he has lived in exile in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, continuing his work to promote peace and advocate for Tibetan autonomy through non-violent means.
