Talk:Dolpo

The page says that inhabitants of Dolpo mainly practice Bon, this couldn't be more false. Some people do practice Bon but definitely not anything close to a majority. Most people are Hindu (lower) or Buddhist (upper and Dho) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.79.35.108 (talk) 15:18, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

The Nepal page, which links here, says this group practices polyandry, not polygamy. Is the information wrong here, or there, or do they practice both? Does anyone know?

This entry is full of almost total opinion. Poorer than the poorest village in Africa? I've been to Dho-Tarap, and it's not.

I agree. This article is poorly written and incredibly subjective. The Dolpo do, in fact, practice polyandry. The practice appears among several groups throughout Nepal and Tibet.

We can improve this. The quotes need referencing. Many houses in Dolpo have solar panels now. Dho Tarap, Charka and Saldang. I have been to the Crystal Mountain School (Dho) and the one at Saldang on two trekking trips. It certainly isn't the poorest place around. Perhaps some quotes from Steve Razzetti, Trekking in Nepal could be appropriate references? StuDreamer 03:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I am from Dolpo and I left Dolpo in 1983 to India, I have a real experience about Dolpo at that time. I can tell you more about Dolpo's Hitory. I am specialist in History.

I won't eccept Dolpo is the poorer than the poorest village of Africa. You should know the Dolpo is fine without any Aids from other country for many years. Still they seeks aids only for the modern education.

Dolpo called themselfs "Dhol-wa" so the word "Dolpopa" is only used by tibetan.

According the Tibetan History you will the know the Dolpo is not a very poor even at the time of Yarlung reigne.

Doctors, Practionar, women missionarry, scholar and so many famous and learned people from Dolpo are eccept by the Tibetan History. If you learne more about Dolpo then you will agree the Dolpo is a extra ordinary amongs the trans Himalayan region.

will discuss more later

A Short History of DOLPO

Geshe Nyima Woser Choekhortshang (Dolpo)

Dolpo is a land today situated at the border of Nepal and Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). Traditionally, Dolpo is known to be one of the ancient lands in which ancient human civilization was originated. According to the historical record of Tibet, Dolpo was a province separate from Tibet during the period of Yarlung dynasty (6th - 9th century AD). It is recorded in an early 14th century medical text written by Brang ti dPal ldan ‘tsho byed. According to that record, a Dolpo physician named Khyol ma ru rtsi (ca. b. 8th century) was invited by the king Khri srong lde btsan (reigned 756-797AD) among the other delegations of medical doctors from the neighboring countries such as India, China and Nepal. In addition, we have also a reference from PT 1287, an Old Tibetan Chronicle preserved until the beginning of last century in Dunhuang library. This chronicle also suggests that Dolpo was a province separate from Tibetan imperial control. Therefore, Dolpo was neither a part of Tibet nor of Nepal, but it was an independent province already during the eight century. Dolpo was also said to be under controlled by Serib. Furthermore, since the Dolpo and Serib had strong ties not only with its geography, but also with matters such as religious and political. In Old Tibetan Annals preserved in Dunhuang, we can find a reference which suggest that Serib was taken under control of Tibet with the help of the minister (Tib. blon chen po) dBa Khri gzigs, but later again separated from their control. In the tenth century AD, Dolpo became a tributaries state under the control of the ruler bKra shis mgon of Guge-Puhrang. After a century later (around in 11th century), the ruler of Ya-rste kingdom (currently known as Jumla, a district in the north-west Nepal) took this state from Guge-Puhrang. During the reign of the Ya-rtse king A-sog-lde around 1253 AD both Dolpo and Serib were lost to the ruler of Gungthang, mGon po lde. The latter then reunited both the Dolpo and Serib and classified them among one of three provinces of mNga' ris. It is also known from historical documents that Mongolian troops reached Dolpo to conquer this province when they have conquered many parts of Tibet and finally handed over the power to the ruler of Sakya period. After more than six hundreds years of annexation by foreign rulers, Dolpo was finally able to become independent kingdom, probably from the fifteenth century (1440 AD). The kingdom was then said to have ruled by one of the king in the lineage of Ra nag dynasty. In the history of Dolpo, this dynasty seems to be the most influential and powerful one. Even more interestingly, this is the only dynasty that has been ever known to us having reigned the independent kingdom of Dolpo although it is only for about a hundred year. Since the 16th century, Dolpo became a province under the rulers of Mustang king until its annexation by Gorkha king of Nepal in 1769. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.113.65.23 (talk) 12:36, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
