Tibet–India relations are said to have begun during the spread of Buddhism to Tibet from India during the 6th century CE. During the Tibetan Empire, Tibet controlled the Silk road routes around and through the Tibetan plateau, and from Tang China to Indian kingdoms. Their relations continued through the centuries and in c.1908 and 1912, India gave shelter to the 13th Dalai Lama during Qing China's failed invasion of Tibet, before the Qing collapsed and surrendered.
