Former serfs tell the horrifying serfdom history in Tibet in this documentary

[@thetreekeeper143]

My great grandfather was a communist soldier and he would always share stories with us. Once he told us that while he was in Tibet, the Serfs would run to them and beg for food and also if they can join the army with them. Also another story was they found a young lady inside a wooden box in the middle of nowhere. Apparently they put her there as punishment to die out there. But they were able to save her and later she married one of his comrade. True story.

That’s a incredible historical event . I’m so glad Tibet was liberated from the vile serfdom Here in the west they applaud a CIA supported lama was has $150 million & is a fraud & they play the free Tibet card whilst living in luxury

[@joellis5915]

@@EM-lz9kg 19th century Britain already wanted to occupy Tibet as its own territory, later the CIA joined the force intended to take over Tibet for their first front station serving the US/UK/West's geographical fronts. IF it is not due to the communist's rescue, that tibet today under the west's ruling will remain the same "Slavery System" to serve the foreigners. Just watch what the US/UK/Europe did to Iraq, Syria, and the Middle East Bombed to Stone age, left in a hurry and cleaned up their treasury, banks and let those nations in hang.

Really fantastic documentary, I had absolutely no idea. I've been so propagandized in the US into thinking that the Tibetans were victims of imperialism, I legitimately didn't know they'd actually been freed from the yoke of oppression when China moved in. What they experienced under the prior feudal system sounds positively horrific. What they lived through was functionally slavery. I will be showing this documentary to everyone who will listen. We've been lied to about Tibet in America, it's time to spread the truth.

Please do that. Tibet was liberated during Mao era. We read this in China history ( books not available outside China. Western countries banned ).

Tibet has been a part of China at various times for thousands of years. The British even made China pay reparations for the damages caused by the Tibetan people when they killed 202 British soldiers as well as horses during a rebellion against the British rule. The British said that since Tibet was a part of China, China must pay for all of the lost lives and damages caused by the Tibetan people. I'm so glad China has freed the long-suffering Tibetan serfs who had suffered so much by members of the clergy, government, and feudal land owners.

Focusing on history, the Southwest China was plagued with slavery and feudalism. I am ethnic Miao/Hmong and growing up, I sat like a Japanese on my knees and my mother hit me and said, don't sit like a slave. I realized it was because of history, when the Nosu Yi or Black Yi enslaved many Hmong/Miao, White Yi and other ethnic groups in Southwest China.

I was born in Nepal and grew up i HIndu culture and tradition. I was very much influenced by Tibetan Buddhist culture and religion. I left my Hindu religion and converted to buddhist at the age of 13. I had no idea about past history of Tibet. Now I am doing research on trauma and childhood of Dalit or marginalized people of India and Nepal. I was watching a video of Dalai Lama giving talk on buddhist psychology on youtube. I started reading comments on the video. There was one comment by Indian man saying the cruelty of serfdom culture of Tibet before the Chinese invention of Tibet in 1959. I was so shocked and suspicious how such thing could take place in peaceful land! I googled it. Yes it was true that people from poor background were forced to serve the upper class people without payment. Once born as a serf always a serf. The children were forcefully separated from the their parents as shown in the documentary. The invention of Chinese became bless to the serf which not only liberated them from the vicious cycle of serfdom but also gave freedom to live like a human being. I really appreciate the producer of the documentary.

[@DC-vn7kc]

Not completely true. You'll find that the Dalai Lama never had that much power in the first place as the actual power went to the regional lords during the time who varied at times (when the Dalai Lama advised against attacking the Chinese, the Kham chieftains rejected this advice and went forward on a disastrous result; likewise, you'd find different treatment of the serfs from Lhasa lords being pretty cruel to Kham lords working together in the fields with their serfs). It's true that Tibet was never a spiritual utopia that the West advocates and there were lamas who complained about Tibet's degenerative ways but the stuff that the Indian commenter here said about the bones is misleading (I've already responded to him about that manner with some sources). For the accounts of Tibet during the Chinese, I would recommend the book "Lord of the Dance" by Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche. It's a fascinating autobiography by a Tibetan lama and his experiences during the changing times of Tibet (he criticizes both the surrounding Tibetan system and Chinese system alongside placing humanity over politics).

Chinese communists try to pervert the depiction of other cultures to fit their false narrative of liberation. Chinese communism is one of the most overtly authoritarian and inegalitarian political systems in history. They're pointing fingers at a feudal society, telling you that they saved these people.. meanwhile, the CCP has concentration camps full of Uyghurs and a draconian social credit system to weed out political dissidents. It's a joke that China points accusing fingers at any society. They're the worst of all.

[@TENZILLA]

The Dalai Lama was a child, the CCP want y’all to believe that he was masterminding a slave country, meanwhile when he fled to India he was literally a child. Most of the slavery was because of older advisors. Also they were in the works of joint the UN and drastically change the country and on its way of become like modern day Bhutan which was also very similar. China likes to claim the “FREED” Tibet, how can they free a country that was already on its path of changing. They like to claim the bad parts of Tibet, but what country on this earth was Void of evil like 60 years ago, I remember growing up in Nepal and they still had serfdom. They like to claim that Tibet was never gonna change , but in fact it was gonna change because joking the UN requires you to ban slavery altogether

@@tenzin5841 I hope this short summary help you under history of Tibet better. Historically Tibet was under China’s sovereignty/suzerainty for hundreds of years. The levels of control varied in accordance with the strength of the Chinese govt at which particular periods of time. British India entered the picture in 1904 with the Convention of Lhasa and later in 1914 exacted further influence with the Simla Convention and the drawing of the McMahon Line. The McMahon Line took away territories from Tibet. In Aug 1947 India inherited GB's distinctive relationship with Tibet but without the muscles. Nehru was reconciled to China’s takeover of Tibet but wanted it to be done peacefully by negotiating with Lhasa. Mao ended the conundrum in 1950. But then you can always support not only the independence and self determination of Tibet but also of Goa, Hyderabad, Manipur, Ryukyu and Hawaii.

JJ, excellent oral history and documentary on a world that has been kept hidden from people in the west. Few westerners ever knew the extent of slavery under the theocracy of Dalai Lama. Feedback: The superimposition of contextual briefs is great but needs to be left on screen much longer for viewers to read. I have to constantly pause the video to read. Depending on the length of the briefs, you should allow at least double, if not, triple the amount of time to accommodate both fast and slow readers. Otherwise, missing those briefs will significantly reduce the understanding of its underlying history.

As of Apr 2023 today, only 23K viewers watched this video after 1 yr! That's less than 0.01% (1/100%) of US population. That means a very very small percentage of the people is actually aware of Serfdom in Tibet. This extreme slavery is deeply hidden away. So, when the west or anti-China population advocated for Tibet's freedom, they actually wanted to force the Tibetans back to extreme slavery under the Dalai Lama, and feudal system (old Tibet govt officials and aristocrats). These were 3 classes of masters who owned the slaves outright. Most likely 99% of the western population is ignorant of Serfdom practices. All they think is Communism is evil, brainwashed by the MSM and political ideology. Of cos'they don't know Serfdom was abolished by the Communist Party. Over 1 million extremely abused slaves were liberated since 1959!!! In US, blacks were still badly discriminated, mistreated and separated in 1959. They cannot vote until after the Voting Rights Bill was passed in 1965!! Took 6 yrs after Serfdom was abolished in Tibet, China. This is very sad indeed. 😢😢 When will the real Historians redress this misinformation? Or propaganda?

[@bill7105]

This is the same as the upper southern states of the United States wanting to continue to have black slaves. The Dalai Lama has never been the president of Tibet. Tibet is just an administrative region like a state in China, but its propaganda in some media has turned into a government-in-exile representing the people.

[@bill7105]

Many people forget a simple reality, since the CCP did not persecute Christians, Taoists and Muslims, why did it persecute Buddhists. Some people say that the CCP persecutes Tibetans and Uyghurs, so why don’t the remaining 53 ethnic minorities persecute them together. So is it possible that the police are only arresting criminals, but they are considered to be arresting ordinary citizens? It's really infuriating that so much of the media is deceiving ordinary people these days.

I have to say that I never knew about the Dalai Lama being right at the top of the feudal system lording over the so-called serfs. Being a Buddhist, it had never sat easy with me to see the Dalai Lama rubbing shoulders with Hollywood elites and travelling in private jets but being ignorant then, I had thought all those right minded elites must be doing something right eventhough I had never been impressed with the Dalai Lama as a person. Daniel Dumbrill's travel into Tibet together with you had been a revelation; no western media had or will show such. Glad to see the Dalai Lama is off the front page these days...it's the Muslims in Xinjiang that's getting the attention of the elites these days.

Total 2017, they escaped to the US and wait for the US to put them back into Tibet so that they could round their former serfs up and force them to work for free again so that they could live a rich, carefree life again! One of these former noblemen was the current Dalai Lama, he has made an agreement with the US government that if he is able to generate enough support to get Tibet to secede from China then the US government would make him the king of Tibet. Then all he has to do is do whatever the US tells him to do and he would live a rich, carefree life just like his noble ancestors have done in Tibet for hundreds of years!

[@isaiahlee1012]

This is not about taking sides, just have some honest questions. 1. If 95% of the population were serfs, and 5% clergy/upper classes, where do nomads fit into this equation? 2. Many people interviewed mentioned life improved after 1959, yet don't get into the details, despite big events taking place, such as the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, shortly after. How did life as a serf compare to freedom during the Great Chinese Famine and Struggle Sessions? The older lady towards the end mentions she got together with her husband during the democratic reforms, although she had worked with him as a serf. If democratic reforms refers to the time of Deng Xiaoping, this is quite a while after the peaceful liberation, leaving room for questions as to what happened in-between. Also in this conversation, she speaks about doing well in an afterlife, if there is an afterlife, and if policies are as good there as in present-day China. As a Buddhist, wouldn't she believe in rebirth? What did I miss here? 3. Over 150,000 Tibetans live in exile. If the quality of life for Tibetans in China is so great, why would such a large number of people risk their lives, crossing the Himalayas to start over in India, a country with a lower standard of living, where becoming a citizen for them is not possible? In addition, since the peaceful liberation, why do so many who permanently live in Tibet visit the Dalai Lama and/or attend his teachings in India if he is a symbol of their feudal past?

[@Dinerell]

If you feel affronted by this, this isn't my attention. 1. Nomads aren't counted as population as they have no nationality. They probably could just pass through as long as they don't interacted in an unwanted way. 2. Either you interview a lot of people or you focus on one person because their span of attention isn't that great (they just decided to not do a single interview). Comparing being a serf for life with hungering because of basicly an unknown cause for a few years isn't comparable. The first is far worse. Africa has famines too, is the whole of africa now bad people (because they're unable to change it)? You have to recognize that they suffered under "buddhism", like "christianity" waged holy wars. Under the pretence of religion people have suffered, so they stop believing in it although buddhism is very altruistic. 3. Like the million uighurs in concentration camp? It's just a made up number why else shouldn't they use or tell the accurate numbers of people which are confirmed? Nonetheless that several sources take numbers like 100,000 or 120,000 as well, the question is how much are there now and if you calculate the proportions with around a million people, you get around 50,000 slave owners. Besides that people from different nationalities live abroad (which is totally normal).

[@Void-or4cs]

On the topic of “democratic reforms” I believe it refers to 26:33, as that’s when Tibet had them, so they’ve probably been together since the collapse of feudalism, late ‘50s - early 60’s, how Deng reforms would affect a couple so specifically that they are meaning those reforms is absurd
