In 1841, one
faction of the Punjabi government led by the Dogra brothers Gulab Singh, Dhian
Singh and Suchet Singh, took it upon themselves to extend the influence of the
Punjab by invading Tibet. This resulted in a war against the forces of Imperial
China and the massacre of the Punjabi army as it attempted to fight its way out
of Tibet during the winter. |
