The Dalai Lama fled to India, and for at least a decade things became a lot worse: many Tibetans – possibly more than a million – starved to death during Chairman Mao’s Great Leap Forward campaign, temples and monasteries were smashed, sometimes by Tibetan Red Guards, during the Cultural Revolution, and a large number of people died in the violence.
El Dalai Lama huyó a la India y durante al menos una década las cosas empeoraron: muchos tibetanos –posiblemente más de un millón—murieron de hambre durante la campaña del Gran Salto Adelante del Presidente Mao y, durante la Revolución Cultural, se destruyeron templos y monasterios, a veces con la participación de las Guardias Rojas tibetanas, y muchas personas murieron en los actos de violencia.
