Tibet is popularly known as the Roof of the World because of its great elevation and as Forbidden Land since nobody went there because of difficult terrain and entry to outsiders was generally opposed by its leaders. The eco-cultural situations of the Tibet had developed its own traditions, customs, institutions and beliefs and thus a typical society and culture. The Tibetans were self contended and happy, and had struggled hard to preservge their cultural identity, institutions, religion, etc., ever since the 6th century. This valuable culture of Tibet which had developed preserving its peculiar qualities and differences from the rest of the world cultures was tremendously disturbed by China by flooding her own population and culture into Tibet. The sinonization took place at various levels of Tibetan culture by force, violence, indoctrination and such other means. Because Tibet remained isolated, and so failed to impress the outside world about its independent existence. The Chinese advent followed by the 1959 revolt in Tibet disturbed the calm and orderly society and resulted in the fleeing of H.H. the Dalai Lama along with about 80,000 Tibetan souls as refugees to India, Nepal and Bhutan.

Tibet exerts a powerful fascination far beyond its borders; remoteness and the deeply pervasive character ot Tibetan Buddhism have provided the setting for countless works of romace adventure and fantasy. Resistance and Reform in Tibet reveals the emergence of a distinctive, modern Tibetan society and the sophistication, creativity and resourcefulness of its people`s responses to Chinese domination. Tibet today is neither a socialist idyll nor a regimented gulag but a rich mixture of traditonal and innovative strategies in an ancient nation`s struggle for survival.

The subject of Tibet is highly controversial, and Tibet, as a political entity, is defined differently from source to source and audience to audience. The editors of this path-breaking, multidisciplinary study have gathered some of the leading scholars in Tibetan and ethnic studies to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Tibet question. "Contemporary Tibet" explores essential themes and issues concerning modern Tibet. It presents fresh material from various political viewpoints and data from original surveys and field research. The contributors consider such topics as representations and sovereignty, economic development and political conditions, the exile movement and human rights, historical legacies and international politics, identity issues and the local society. The individual chapters provide historical background as well as a general framework to examine Tibet's present situation in world politics, the relationship with China and the West, and prospects for the future.
