In northern India, Tibetans marked their stand against Chinese rule in their homeland.
It was back in 1959 when the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, led a failed uprising against communist rule, which led to the fleeing of many Tibetans to India.
Tibetans gathered in Dharamsala, in India, on March 2nd to remember their exile and commemorate the Dalai Lama.
The Chinese communist regime has controlled Tibet since its troops took over the region in 1950.
Critics accuse China of repressing Tibetans' religious aspirations, especially their veneration for the Dalai Lama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
Dharamsala is now home to the largest number of exiled Tibetans who are fighting for liberation of their homeland from communist rule.
