British India—Mongolian People's Republic relations

British India	People's Republic of Mongolia

Another concern for the British Raj was the Dalai Lama in Mongolia. It was not enough to have entered Lhasa: Thub-bstan-rgya-mtsho was still in Urga (current Ulaanbaatar) much closer to the current Russian border than to the former Indian Raj. The fear was that the Russians wanted to use the thirteenth Dalai Lama as their agent in Tibet against the paṇ-chen bla-ma, considered by Saint Petersburg to be on the side of the British India. The Tsar had sent a telegram to the Dalai Lama, but it was a simple eulogy of his religious role – this had still alarmed the Manchus who had threatened to depose the Dalai Lama in case of conspiracies with the Russians.

To complicate the situation in Asia and further worry the British there was also the problem of Xenophobic clashes in Persia – where the Constitutional Revolution broke out in 1905 – which could lead the Soviets to send the army to defend their compatriots.
