WHY THE DALAI LAMA HAS AN ENGLISH ACCENT
The
Chinese invaded Tibet
in 1950, claiming the country was part of greater China and the Dalai Lama was an imposter. Nomadic warriors called Khambas, armed with swords, fought a guerrilla war against the Chinese for a decade. They attacked columns of armoured cars on horseback and shot up bomber planes with Lee Enfield rifles.
….
….
The Dalai Lama had learned English as a child with Heinrich Harrer, the Austrian who escaped from a British prisoner-of-war camp in India during WWII (1939-1945) and climbed the high peaks of the Himalayas.
He spent the war years in Lhasa (Tibet) with the boy king and wrote the fabulous
"Seven Years in Tibet"
.
The Dalai Lama had rounded off his clipped German English living in India.
And added a twang from New Jersey chatting with Alex and John.
