## Resource

The last episode we talked about the Chinese invasion of Tibet, and today we’re concluding it with the Dalai Lama escaping to India. In an already contentious world, the actions of this one man from an inconsequential part of the world put 1/3 of the world’s population at each other’s throats. In this episode we talk about how the Chinese occupation became intolerable, the dramatic escape and the political fallout afterwards The Dalai Lama became a symbol that maybe one side of the Cold War wasn’t always right, but one was definitely wrong.
