1932 Photos Reveal Pre-Invasion Tibet

By Joe Mickey & Sazzy Lee Varga

The Chinese invasion of Tibet began in 1949 and over the last 50 years all but 13 of Tibet's 6,000 monasteries have been destroyed. Some were used for firing practice by Chinese tanks while the monks were still inside.

In all it is estimated that 1.2 million of the six million Tibetan population have died since the Chinese invasion by means of murder, execution, torture, starvation and forced labor. Today China celebrates the 'peaceful liberation' of Tibet while it still carts religious leaders off to prison, or as the Chinese official explanation often terms it, military hospitals for 're-education' on the post 9/11 excuse that any dissension is now labeled terrorism.

In Tibet, China continues to tear down remote Buddhist enclaves, while it promotes a sort of Tibetan Buddhist Disneyland designed to capture tourist dollars. Many of these dollars will no doubt help fund the prisons that hold monks and nuns. Many of these dollars will fund China's plans to expand its military technology.

In 1932, Tibet belonged to the Tibetans. Its remoteness made it a mystical place. Western visits were rare and the process of relaying information often grew in the time it took to travel west into fantastic stories of men who could fly across mountains or advanced spiritual beings who could levitate.
