Ratu Ngawang, 90, has died. Known as a “hero of Tibet”, he was a former soldier in the Chushi Gangdruk – the troops that accompanied the Dalai Lama on his flight to India, and one of the founding members of the Special Frontier Force, a troop of Tibetans in the Indian paramilitary. “I enrolled myself in the Special Frontier Force with an aim to fight the Chinese” said Ngawang in an interview.
