"Upon invasion of Tibet by China, the name of the region was changed to Xikang Province (西康省 Xīkāng Shěng). It was, however, only a "special administrative district" until 1939 [dubious – discuss], when it became the status of a Chinese province - nominally and without much cohesion."

Tibet was invaded/occupied/liberated in the 1950s. Secretlondon (talk) 12:01, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Xikang_Province explains it. Half of it was previously part of China. The territory west of the Yangtze River became part of a separate Qamdo Territory in 1950, and was merged into the TAR in 1965. Secretlondon (talk) 12:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name

quotation form the article: "Many Khampas are members of the Bön religion or 'Black sect' of Tibetan Buddhism, a group that had been largely marginalized and stigmatized by other Tibetan sects.[1]" Is there a source for calling the Bön religion black sect?

Odd. The Bon practitioners don't usually consider themselves Tibetan Buddhist at all. The religion pre-dates the official introduction of Buddhism into Tibet under Songtsen Gampo. I think this article needs a closer look. Longchenpa (talk) 12:31, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sources: Smith who?

There are two cites listed here (currently cite 10 and 11): ^ Smith (1996), p. 175 ^ Smith (1996), p. 175 There's no indication of a first name, or the title of the book it's from. Does anyone know what source this is referring to? Longchenpa (talk) 12:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's probably Warren W. Smith's Tibetan Nation: A History of Tibetan Nationalism and Sino-Tibetan Relations. Shrigley (talk) 00:12, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Verification of Richardson on Kham

After this edit [1] I looked in the cited source (Tibet and its History, 2nd edition 1984 by Hugh Richardson) to see what it said about who granted titles in the Kham region in the 9th Century. In fact I found almost nothing about Kham at all. Pages 28 to 68 is a wide range to check, but pre-Yuan coverage appears to be mostly in pages 28-33, with a brief mention on pp.38-39, neither of which appear to mention Kham. The index does not indicate any coverage of Kham, Khampas, or East Tibet in pages 28-68. Unless someone can find where the information in this paragraph can be found in Richardson, I recommend removing the citation.--Wikimedes (talk) 06:07, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Guerilla

No mention of the heavy involvement of Khambas in the anti-chinese guerillas of the 60's?41.219.31.12 (talk) 04:36, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
