 | | However, Eastern Kham and Amdo were outside the administration of the government of Tibet, and were thus treated like any other Chinese province with land reform implemented in full. | | | Although he remained a virtual prisoner, the Chinese set the Panchen Lama as a figurehead in Lhasa, claiming that he headed the legitimate Government of Tibet in the absence of the Dalai Lama, the traditional head of government. | | | The rebellion, supported by the American CIA, eventually spread to Lhasa. |

| | Migrations from Kham hinterlands east into the uplands of the Gandaki basin gave rise to more Hinduized people called Magars, who speak a variety of "Magar" dialects and are politically more closely allied with the Shah dynasty that still rules Nepal. | | | From there Kham speaking areas extend north into Rukum district toward Dhaulagiri Himal and south into Salyan, Rolpa and Pyuthan districts along ridges down to about 2,000 meters, but lower valleys are populated by Hindus who speak Nepali plus scattered enclaves of bilingual Nepali/Newari speakers. | | | Kham may ultimately be more of a political or geographic category than purely linguistic. |

| | From the time of collapse of the Tibetan empire in the 10th century until the 1950s, the people of Kham have maintained a large degree of independence from both Lhasa and China, aided by the rugged nature of their homeland. | | | In 1950, following the defeat of the Kuomintang rulers of China by communist forces in the Chinese Civil War, the People's Liberation Army entered western Kham. | | | Eastern Kham subsequently became the actual area of control of China's Xikang province. |
