On March 10, 1959, 300,000 Tibetans surrounded their leader's palace, forming a human shield to prevent his abduction by Chinese forces. It sparked an uprising that ended with tens of thousands dead, the Dalai Lama in permanent exile, and Tibet under occupation that continues 65 years later. China says they liberated serfs from feudal oppression and brought modernization. Tibetans say they lost their country, culture, and freedom. Both sides have evidence. Both can't be right. Or maybe both are and that's the tragedy.
