DESCRIPTION

Tibet is a place of mystic Buddhism, conserved into its own cult, with its generic Bodpa inhabitants in one unity of manners and language. Tibet occupies the most enormous and highest mass of mountains, and broadly divided into two regions is full of lakes and rivers. The graceful river of Brahmaputra receives the life-blood here in the glan of sporting fountains to serpent the longest earth up through the Indian inviting plains, Graceful Tibet resides on the roof of the world with her inhabitants, cultured to bespeak of innocent godliness and the disease less beauty. More often, it seems a land, high on the world, of angels and angel-ladies. Dilapidated, though, in recent years, by the insincere and non-authoritative aggression of feded red China the mountainous living of the people has increased in adverse conditions, the richness of religion and customs has braved them, the angels, to assert their non-violent and peaceful proclaims more distinctively for non-controversial democratic liberty, under the policy and administration head, clergy Dalai Lama. No doubt, today this peace-land though controversial, has made a strong stir of curiosity about her across the world. This condition has brought a two-fold boon to the land: the majority between the Poles stands curious about these non-violent people seeking their autonomy suddenly increasing the turns of Tourism, and secondly, embrace her cause more opinion fully and determinatively.
