About this episode
Welcome back to A Century Of Stories: India presented by IDFC FIRST Bank!
This week, Kunal takes you back to 1959. Amid escalating tensions between Tibet and China, the 14th Dalai Lama made a daring and secretive escape from Lhasa to India. Fearing for his life, the Dalai Lama embarked on a dangerous two-week journey across the Himalayas with a small group of followers. The perilous trek took them through harsh mountain terrain, evading patrols, until they reached safety in India. In news that made headlines around the world, he was immediately granted asylum, a reflection of India's deep-rooted humanitarian values and commitment to offering refuge to those in need.
