<br/><br/> The Dalai Lama has said that Tibetans consider themselves 'the child of Indian civilization' and that India is the holy land from whose sources the Tibetans have built their own civilization. This work looks at this relationship and how Tibetans have maintained it, particularly by way of pilgrimage.
