The Very Death of Emperor Langdarma therefore contributed to the anarchic period that is known as the Era of Tibetan Imperial Fragmentation. The Tibetan Empire truly is among the strongest overlords that could meddle in the Desert Silk Roads of the Hexi Corridor and Sogdia is an astonishing event I've ever learned of. Kudos to DH!

Tibet kingdoms rise and fall are highly connect with climate change. When average temperature is high,Tibet can feed more people,more population lead to powerful kingdom.when weather change cold,kingdom will naturally break down.

keep seing maps with tibet controlling parts of bengal but never found a mention of control here, and some maps like this don't show it, are any of those maps accurate?

[@TheDragonHistorian]

I’ve also seen maps showing Bengal as part of the empire, but couldn’t verify this anywhere. Bengal would have been part of the Pala Empire at the time.

[@mint8648]

@@TheDragonHistorian post from historum: The evidence for Tibetan political influence extending to Bengal seems to come entirely from Tibetan sources; on the Indian side, I am not aware of any clear, direct evidence of Tibetan rule, occupation, or influence in this region. The Ladakh Chronicles claim that Trisong Detsen (c.755-797) had "subdued all the provinces on the four frontiers" including China in the east and India in the south. They also claim that Ralpacan (c.815-836) had "conquered India as far as the Gangasagara." The place-name "Gangasagara" has generally been assumed to be referring to the mouths of the Ganga river, which would indicate a campaign from Tibet down into Bengal. However, the Ladakh Chronicles are a very late composition, being written mostly in the 17th century, and it's not clear to what extent these references to the military exploits of medieval Tibetan rulers reflect historical reality. Another Tibetan source is The Pronouncements of Padmasambhava, which is a more contemporary source (datable to the 9th century or not long afterwards). This text discusses the exploits of Mutik Tsenpo, the son of Trisong Detsen, and claims that he had conquered "two or three parts [countries?] of Jambudvipa". The name "Jambudvipa" is here referring to the Indian subcontinent. But the most interesting part of this text is that it gives the names of two Indian kings who are said to be contemporaries of Mutik Tsenpo: Dharma-dpal and Drahu-dpun. The latter cannot be satisfactorily identified with any of the known Indian monarchs of the late 8th or early 9th century; the former, however, is certainly referring to the famous Dharmapala of Bengal. Quoting the English translation of the text from F.W. Thomas, Tibetan Literary Texts and Documents, pp.272-73: cm4iXyN.png The evidence from the above text regarding the vassalage of Dharma-dpal to Tibet, along with the reference to Ralpacan conquering as far as the Gangasagara (with the exploits of Mutik Tsenpo and Ralpacan being perhaps conflated in later texts), seem to indicate that the Tibetans in the early 9th century had successfully invaded the Pala kingdom of Bengal. However, due to the absence of corroborating evidence from Bengal or other parts of North India, it's difficult to have an accurate picture of what happened. All we have are quite one-sided Tibetan accounts. Among Indian regions, only Nepalese sources talk about the Tibetan occupation of their country during this time period. Beyond Nepal, it's not clear how much influence the Tibetans actually had. There does, however, exist one possible indicator of Tibetan political influence in Bengal from Indian sources, and that is the sudden and unexplainable rise of a dynasty referred to as "Kambojas" in the 10th century. The rule of these Kambojas is attested in western and northern Bengal, and in their records they use imperial titles like Parameshvara, Paramabhattaraka, and Maharajadhiraja which were formerly used by the Palas. It thus seems that these Kambojas had somehow usurped power from the Palas and were ruling as sovereigns over parts of the former Pala kingdom. We know that the term "Kamboja" was used very broadly in Indian sources in reference to a myriad of peoples around the periphery of the subcontinent, with the classical Kambojas living in the far northwest in modern-day Afghanistan. In the specific context of Bengal, however, the term "Kamboja" seems to have been often used in reference to Tibetan peoples, as noted by F.W. Thomas in footnote 15 of the above cited source. Thus, the famous Bengali historian R.C. Majumdar suggests that the rise of the Kamboja dynasty was due either to the conquest of Bengal by people from Tibet, or (more likely in his view) that "some high official" of the Palas who belonged to a Kamboja clan usurped power from the weakened Pala kings and set up an independent state. Quoting from The Age of Imperial Kanauj, p.54: xYKRGXV.png However, even if we accept the latter view that the rise of the Kambojas was due not to the outright conquest of Bengal by foreigners but rather to the usurpation of power by high officials who were previously working under the Pala government, it still needs to be explained how some foreign tribesmen could rise to a position of such great authority and influence within parts of Bengal that they could seize power and claim sovereignty for themselves. In my view, the alleged Tibetan campaigns into Bengal in the 9th century might be able to explain the Kamboja question. For instance, it is possible that Tibetan tribes had settled in parts of Bengal following these campaigns, and these tribesmen were in a position of power due to the influence of Tibet in Bengal. Indeed, this possible connection was noted by R.C. Majumdar himself, as he stated in another work, "the usurpation of a part of the Pala kingdom by Kamboja chiefs in the tenth century AD may be ultimately traceable to the Tibetan expeditions, for Kamboja was an Indian name for Tibet." (The History of Bengal, vol.1, footnote on p.126) Given the paucity of source material, it is impossible to make any definite, conclusive statements regarding Tibet's influence or lack thereof in Bengal during this period. What we can say, based on the evidence from the sources, is that Tibetans in the 9th century were certainly aware of the Pala kings in Bengal, and that Tibet had likely made a show of force to Bengal during the reign of Dharmapala, which may or may not have resulted in Dharmapala paying tribute to Tibet or other forms of Tibetan influence in Bengal. By the next century, parts of Bengal were being ruled by people described as Kambojas, who possibly had some connection to Tibet. It is probably best to keep in mind the concluding remark of R.C. Majumdar on this subject: "While, therefore, we must suspend our final judgment about Tibetan conquest and supremacy in India until fresh evidence is available, we must not ignore the possibility that perhaps the course of events in Bengal during 750-850 AD was influenced by Tibet to a much larger extent than we are apt to imagine." (ibid, p.125)

Very good! I would add the struggle for Lamaism/Buddhism, it came and went, being persecuted and then not, then persecuted than not again by Shamanistic and Bon religions. Some incomplete notes: 618-650 AD King Songtsän Gampo brings Vajrayāna Buddhism (Lamaism) to Tibet & Bhutan. There was resistance to Buddhism by Shamanism and Bon. 650--750 AD Tibet Emperor sends Vajrayāna Buddhism (Lamaism) mission to Mongolia where it still has influence today. 665 AD Officially Vajrayāna Buddhism (Lamaism) Tibetan Empire conquers Tarim basin/Taklamakan, but the Pagan/Bon Tibetan soldiers persecute the Buddhists (including Lamas) they find. With collapse of the Empire much persecution of Buddhists. c.1100 - 1400 AD Nyingma/Ngangyur (red hat) Vajrayāna Buddhism (lamaism) reintroduced to Bon Tibet after long persecution almost destroyed it. 11th Cent AD Tibetan Yungdrung Bon developed from Vajrayāna Buddhism (Lamaism) and native Bon (or "black hat Bon" shamanism). Some Terma (scriptures) are: mdo 'dus, gzer mig, and gzi brjid 1253 AD Mongolian leader Kublai Khan accepts Vajrayāna Buddhism (Lamaism), other Mongols stay Tengri, Buddhist, Assyrian Christian Church of East (Kublai Khan's mom!) or Muslim. 1359 AD China goes Ming - Vajrayāna Lama Buddhists were also expelled as allies of the Yuan/Mongols.

Your viewpoint is absolutely unfounded. In fact, European immigrants, especially Anglo-Saxons, usually show more extreme and aggressive RACISM to minority groups in their colonies. For instance, Whites in North America often bully Chinese immigrants and other Asians, but Chinese have never treat whites this way. So who is the real Racist?😁

Han-dominated dynasties were uninterested in Tibet because Tibet is basically mountainous and most of the Han people eat only rice. rice cannot be grown in the mountains. I don't know why the Manchus conquered Tibet, even though the Manchus themselves were not people from the mountains/plateaus. Even though it was conquered by the Manchu Qing, Tibet still has far more freedom than any autonomous province anywhere. It's a shame that Tibet doesn't understand outside world politics at all and lacks Tibetan political will to modernize Tibet. Saying Tibet is part of China is tantamount to saying the Baltic countries are part of the Russian Federation.

[@张哲段]

Wrong, the Han people do not eat rice, the Han people eat wheat, the earliest regions of China today all eat wheat, the Yellow River cannot grow rice
