| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In 1956, after the defeat of the armed insurrection launched by the reactionary upper stratum in the Sichuan Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, a number of armed rebels who escaped destruction crossedthe Jinsha River toward the West and fled to various areas in Tibet. Someof them, headed by Andruk-tsang Gonpo Tashi, mustered some remnant bandits from Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu, and Yunnan provinces and setup an army called Four Rivers and Six Ranges Defenders of the Faith(hereafter, Defenders of the Faith), which was supported and supplied with arms and equipment by anti-China forces in the United States andIndia. In March 1959, the reactionary Tibetan upper stratum launched their all-out counterrevolutionary armed insurrection in Lhasa. The reactionary elements then fled to India, taking along the Dalai by force, together with about 20,000 armed rebels. These, plus about 40,000 Tibetan masses whowere strong-armed into following the Dalai, fled to such places as India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sikkim. Most of these later assembled in India. For thesake of controlling the armed personnel and stabilizing the social order, the Indian government at the time took over their weapons, detained and screened them, and emplaced them in groups. |
