We discussed details of book and analysis different issues regarding that era, 1960s - 1970s.  ‘In the mid-1960s, a decade-long wave of political violence swept across Tibet. Red Guards burnt books, sacked temples, struggled against teachers and lamas, and outlawed cultural traditions while Communist leaders held mass rallies and military parades, replaced schools with universal political education, and organised the entire rural population into communes.’ Thank you Tsering Woesar for amazing book on Culture Revolution in Tibet.
