Abstract

1. INTRODUCTION A rich literature exists on Tibetan geography, culture, political and social system is not a difficult task as one could find tremendous number of literatures on it. But combing the rich and profound history of once powerful Monarch with regard to their present political and cultural status may need an intellectual exercise. Tibet’s historical status and its relation with north western neighbors including China, Mongolia, Nepal and India affirm the fact that once Tibet was an independent and powerful Monarch and it had maintained intensive political, economic and cultural relations with its neighbors. But, as every Tibetologists observes, the Chinese factor refigured the geographic, political and cultural life of Tibetans and put the normal and peaceful life of Tibetans into chaos.

This understanding would be enhanced when we see the destiny of Tibetans to run a parliament in exile or virtual in sphere.
