Since then, he has spent his time in exile pushing for autonomy for Tibet.The Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his non-violent campaign for democracy and freedom in his homeland. However, the Chinese view him as a hostile element bent on splitting Tibet from China.India is home to around 1,00,000 Tibetans.( With inputs from IANS )
