The eleven stories are divided into the five colours of the Tibetan prayer flag: in Blue (Sky), 'Zinda' is the name of the Tibetan village which a child has to escape after Chinese occupation, returning only as a young man to this unfamiliar motherland after a bittersweet surprise. Mariko, the former monk protagonist in White (Air), shatters expectations by becoming a beauty icon and dancer. 'In the footsteps of Buddha's warriors' from Red (Fire) tells the story of the Chushi Gangdruk, the forgotten Tibetan guerrilla group which fought bravely from Nepal for an independence which never arrived."--Page 4 of cover 650 0 $a Tibetans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tibetans $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories, Tibetan $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Tibetans $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01150682 651 7 $a India $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 655 0 $a Short stories, Indic (English) 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240117013119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=476B54D4B50611EEB233F11920ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
