[PU: LP Publications], CONDITION: NEW -- BINDING: Hardcover ~ Condition: NEW ~ This book is the result of painstaking efforts to detail the sequence of the different explorers who attempted it. It throws light on myths, customs like the selection of the infant representing the reincarnation of the deceased Dalai Lama, practice of exorcism and the pattern of administration. Even today, considering the dearth of available information of Tibet, the contents in its reprint would certainly interest geographers, historians, ethnographers and students of political science.Tibet, a plateau guarded by seemingly insurmountable ranges on all sides, presents its desolate and inhospitable face to all explores trying to probe its mysteries. This book is the result of painstaking efforts to detail the sequence of the different explorers who attempted it.This work throws light on myths, customs like the selection of the infant representing the reincarnation of the deceased Dalai Lama, practice of exorcism and the pattern of administration. It describes in detail the various explorations made by Russian, Chinese, Indian and European teams and the systematic surveying from the eighteenth century onwards which made possible detailed mapping of its mountains, passes, river ways and routes.The geography of Tibet cannot be separated from its history. Buddhism, which disappeared from Indian centuries back, is well rooted there, resting Muslim and Christian missionary efforts. It is not surprising that Chinese and Mongol interferences have been the only successful ones, if one considers that access from the east is comparatively the easiest. While they have succeeded in exploiting Tibet, they have also provoked the growth of Lamaism that has been the most dominating influence on the people of Tibet.356 pages ~ Isbn: 8186142169 ~ language: English ~ Year: 1994 ~ Binding: Hardcover ~ Contents CHAPTER IEarly Tales about TibetConformation of Tibetan Plateau and its Mountain BarriersRoutes into TibetNorth Western RoutesLeh, Shipki and Niti PassesSikkim PassesEastern RoutesTa-chien-luRoutes from the NorthCHAPTER IIGeological EvolutionThe Chang Tang and Northern TibetValley of the Indus and BrahmaputraThe Janglam Trade RouteEastern TibetThe Rivers of China and BurmaThe Southern ZoneClimateCHAPTER IIIShort Outline of Tibetan HistoryIntroduction of BuddhismStruggles with China and Mongol InterferenceGrowth of Lamaism Chinese AdministrationCHAPTER IVThe First Recorded Mogul Invasion of TibetMirza Haidar's Story, His GeographyIdentification of his Route towards LhasaCHAPTER VEighteenth Century ExplorationsGruberCapuchin MonksTheir Mission at Lhasa and their Struggles Jesuit InterferenceDesideriBeligattiLast of MissionVan de PutteHis Residence at LhasaCHAPTER VIBogle's Mission and Policy of Warren HastingsBogle's Route to ShigatzeDescription of the country and of GyangtseReception by the Teshu LamaTurner despatched by Warren HastingsHis Interview with the Infant Teshu LamaCHAPTER VIIThe Conquest of Tibet by ChinaRemarkable Military ExpeditionIts Route into Tibet and the Final Defeat of the Gurkhas near KatmanduThomas Manning's Visit to Tibet and Lhasa, His Route through BhutanExperiences with Chinese Officials and Interview with the Dalai LamaHis ImpressionsMoorcroft's Expedition to HundesHis Probable Residence at Lhasa and his FateCHAPTER VIIIThe Jesuit Missionaries, Huc and GabetJourney from Manchuria to Koko NorNotes on Early Christianity in CoriaThe Mongolian and Chinese Borderland Frontier FarmsMongolian CustomsTrade with ChinaLamaism in Western KansuThe Koko nor and Feast of Flowers at KunbumCHAPTER IXHuc and Gabet (continued) from the Koko nor to LhasaRockhill and Prejevalski and Northeastern TibetRockhill's Second Journey towards Lhasa and in the Eastern Valleys of TibetCHAPTER XHuc and Gabet on the Post Road to China and in Eastern TibetApproaches to the East from the Koko Nor and its Geographical Connection with AssamDe Rhins and GrenardNeedham and KrishnaThe Brahmaputra Val<
