from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first Communist Party of Tibet (Tibetan: བོད་ གུང་ ཁྲན་ ཏང, Wylie: bod gung khran tang; Chinese: 西藏 共产党; pinyin: Xīzàng Gòngchǎndǎng) or Communist Revolutionary Party of the Tibetan Snow Country(Tibetan: ཕུག ངས་ ལྗོངས་ བོད་ རིགས་ གུང་ བྲན་ རིང་ ལུགས་ གསར་ བརྗེ་ ཚོགས་ ཆུང་, Wylie: gangs ljongs bod rigs gung bran ring lugs gsar brje tshogs chung) was a small communist party in Tibet who worked secretly under different names. The association was founded in 1943 by Phuntsok Wangyal and Ngawang Kesang. Phuntsok Wangyal worked at an academy of the Commission for Tibetan and Mongolian Affairs, which was under the Chinese central government. The party emerged from the Democratic Youth League of Tibet, which Wangyal and other Tibetan students founded in Lhasa in 1939 . Its founders intended to unite all Tibetans into one unit, the Kham , Amdo and Ü-Tsangincluded. She turned to the Comintern through the embassy of the Soviet Union and asked for their support when she began planning an uprising in Tibet and Kham. Wangyal later contacted the Chinese Communist Party and the Communist Party of India . The Tibetan communists, together with the Chinese communists, prepared guerrilla warfare against the ruling Kuomintang . In 1949 the party merged with the Chinese Communist Party.

Another Communist Party of Tibet (Tibetan: ཕུན་ ཚོགས་ དབང་ རྒྱལ, Wylie: phun tshogs dbang rgyal) was founded in 1979 by young Tibetans in exile and received the blessing of the Dalai Lama . It existed until 1981.
