socialist/communist policy in the region and the Tibetan natives

did not approve of it thus starting a way with China. With an

Tibetans escaped to India which they then gave refuge to. The

once friendly neighbor of India, China did not took a liking of

this. Adding into the fact that India did not approve of China’s

Territory resulting to the death of thousands.
