The Chinese government forcibly imposed its 17-point agenda on Tibet on 23 May 1951. The agenda was also forcibly signed with the then Tibetan authorities. This agenda states that there should be no interference with the position of the Dalai Lama, protection of the language and culture of Tibet by Tibetans themselves.
The agenda that was created by China was sidelined. Earlier, a joint agenda was also made between China and Tibet by both sides, but the Chinese government rejected it and imposed its own agenda on Tibet. The Dalai Lama completely rejected this Chinese agenda on April 18, 1959 after his arrival in India.
From then onward, May 23 was known as a Black Day for the Tibetan community.
