10thMarch is observed as Tibetan National Uprising Day which commemorates the 1959 Tibetan uprising against the presence of the People’s Republic of China in Tibet. It was the day when Chinese government entered and captured the capital of Tibet, Lhasa and the flight of the His.HolinessThe Dalai Lama into exile.
After 1959, every year thousands of Tibetan people and their supporters gather together to the street to mark the anniversary of Tibetan National Uprising Day and also to show that Tibet is not a part of China.
Tibetan schools in Mandi District gathered together at Sughbagh ground and had the main function. After that senior students and staff members of Tibetan schools marched towards Baijnath by shouting slogans for free Tibet. Again a function was held there, everyone hoped for free Tibet and one day return to Tibet- our motherland.
