Draft:Dharmapāla's Conflict with Tibetans

The expedition of Dharmapala to Kedar and Nepal is connected with Dharmapala's conflict with Tibetans.

Campaigns against Tibetans in Kedarnath and Nepal
R.C. Majumdar mentions a tradition that indicates Dharmapāla capturing the throne of Nepal. At the time, Nepal was subjected to the Tibetan Empire. Furthermore, Dharmapāla's campaigns in the areas of Kedara (Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, India) and Nepal is linked to the aggressiveness of the Tibetans.

The supremacy obtained by Dharmapāla have been the outcome of a series of victorious military campaigns. According to records, his army visited several holy places including Kedara and Gokarna during these campaigns.

Dharmapāla's victory in his conquest of Nepal, as well as in the course of his successful campaigns in Nepal, are also supported by the munger inscription of Devapāla.

Campaigns against Tibetans in Kira Pradesh (Himachal Pradesh)
Dharmapāla, or his famous son Devapāla, liberated the whole Himalayas from Tibetan rule. Dharmapāla had already driven the Tibetans away from Kira Pradesh (present-day Kangra and Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh, near Chandra-Bhaga and Nêyar country of Gadhwal) prior to this.
