When Buddha Met Gunpowder
On one side are monasteries, prayer wheels and Buddha's message of peace. On the other are tanks, missiles and two nuclear powers facing each other across the Himalayas. Tawang is more than a disputed border region. It sits at the intersection of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama and the future of Asian geopolitics. From the Dalai Lama's dramatic 1959 escape to the 1962 war and the battle over the next Dalai Lama, this is the hidden conflict shaping the Himalayas.
