Ah, so he’s not the god king, just the representative of the god king in absentia, thanks for clarifying that for me. Doesn’t change that I don’t respect anyone who represents or is integrated into a caste-based ethnostate, but it’s good information nonetheless.

The only placenames mentioned in the article are Chinese or English.

Got me wondering what the actual Tibetans would call it (both those inside Tibet and those outside it).
