Contents Summary
The film looks at the intertwined interests and relationships between the British, the Tibetans, the Chinese and the Indians over the 20th century and beyond, on the subject of Tibetan sovereignty. Political expediency at different points of time governed these relationships. However, both the British and the Indians were united in their desire to keep the Chinese out of Tibet. Paradoxically, because of hitherto unrevealed and highly secret political compulsions, independent India's first Prime Minister Nehru had to bow to the Chinese and acquiesce to the Chinese annexation of Tibet in October 1950. Nevertheless, the unique Indian contradiction simultaneously relied upon the British and Tibetan Agreement of 1914 to define independent India's borders with Red China, while acquiescing to China's historical centuries-old claim to Tibet, dating from the Huan Dynasty.
