Thank you so much Madam, Great research & lecture about ancient Tibetan History & vast Buddha Dharma of Tibet which came from India & Great Indian Master/ Dharma King,
You can hear a summary of Master Atishàs visit to Tibet at Thoding Manastery in Mundgod Tibetan settlement. You can also find some ancient artefacts related to the great master.
Wow!!! What ever she spoke was from the depth of her heart with so much reverence for Atisha. She covered so much in such a brief and eloquent way. Thanks from the depth of heart for such an enlightening illustration. But one thing, Sorry ma’am, Lhangderma was quite prior to Lha lama yeshey O (842). Lha Lama yeshey O is from 959-1040. Infact He was imprisoned by Turks.
The disciple who died enroute to Pugey Tibet was Gya Lotsava , who was there in Vikramashila since almost 12 years. He came there in 1030. However, there were a good number of Sanskrit knowing Lotsavas there in Tibet that time. Some the famous names are Lotsava Rinchen zangpo and stakpa Shenrab who had gone to Kashmir and learnt Sanskrit. The restoration of old text and translation of new scriptures brought from Kashmir was already going on in Ngaris skorsum that time under the leadership of Rinchen zangpo. As such, there was not much difficulty in terms of translation.
In sutras that were translated in medieval times, from Sanskrit to Tibetan, the word used for Sanskrit is “Gya-ghar kay”, (gya-ghar = india, kay=language) although there were no single kingdom called Gya-ghar/India, but the region itself was known by that name. So, india as a concept is definitely not a 19th century phenomenon. In old Tibetan texts, India is also frequently & generally referred to as Gya-ghar phag-pay yul meaning, India the land of aryas. Modern Tibetans continue to use Gya-ghar for India.
Thank you so much. Great lecture and highly relevant in today’s world.

The concept of "India" as a nation is not so ancient. It's a modern 19th century phenomenon. Historical sources can be checked.
