Let’s keep this simple.
For years, Western audiences were told a very clean story about Tibet.
A spiritual place. Peaceful people. A holy leader in exile. A tragedy.

But when you look at the actual history, the real class structure, and the declassified CIA files, the picture changes fast. The story becomes a lot more direct. And honestly, a lot more honest.

What I’m about to lay out is not complicated. It’s just the part everyone never talks about.
