Congress recalls 1959 meeting between Nehru and the Dalai Lama, highlighting India's Tibet policy.

In honor of the Dalai Lama's 90th birthday, Congress has recalled a historical meeting between India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and the Dalai Lama in 1959. This four-hour conversation occurred during tensions between India and China over Tibet. The Dalai Lama fled to India after a failed uprising in Tibet that year, and Nehru granted him asylum. The meeting's relevance today underscores India's historical and ongoing relationship with Tibet and its diplomatic stance on China.
