The unique Tibetan culture which is more than 2 000 years old is now facing serious cultural crisis. Since the Chinese occupation of Tibet, 97% of Buddhist monasteries (6,000) were closed or ruined, 100,000 monks and nuns were defrocked and 1.2 million Tibetans died. This research analyses policies implemented in Tibetan Autonomous region and their impact on Tibetan culture and identity.
