  • Story Text: Exiled Tibetans living in India's northern Dharamsala town on Friday (December 10) celebrated the 32nd anniversary of the conferment of the Nobel Peace Prize to their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.
    Born in 1935 into a farming family in Tibet, the Dalai Lama was discovered at the age of two to be the 14th reincarnation of a great spiritual teacher. The exiled monk won the Nobel Peace prize in 1989 for his peaceful campaign against Chinese rule.
    He fled into exile in India after a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959, denies espousing violence and says he only wants genuine autonomy for his remote Himalayan homeland.
    China has ruled Tibet with an iron fist since it was "peacefully liberated" by the People's Liberation Army in 1950.
    China denies any repression in Tibet and says its rule has brought development to a once backward and poverty-stricken region.
