:[[User:Ktin|Ktin]] how about something like... was part of the havildar group who welcomed the Dalai Lama at the Indian border after his 13 day long flight from the Chinese army?[[User:Paradise Chronicle|Paradise Chronicle]] ([[User talk:Paradise Chronicle|talk]]) 22:10, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

:* {{re|Paradise Chronicle}}: Thanks for you review. I think we can go with ALT0. I am quoting from the NDTV article -- {{tq|The Tibetan spiritual leader arrived in India as a young monk after a 13-day trek through the Himalayas disguised as a soldier to evade detection by Chinese troops. Naren Chandra Das, who died Monday at his residence in Assam, was 22 at the time and had just completed his training with the Assam Rifles, the Indian Army's oldest paramilitary force. Along with six other soldiers, he escorted the monk to Lumla in Arunachal Pradesh on March 31, 1959.}} I think this should be good to validate ALT0 as it is written. Please let me know of your thoughts. Thanks. [[User:Ktin|Ktin]] ([[User talk:Ktin|talk]]) 05:56, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
:** As to the sources I have access to, they didn't escort the Dalai Lama on his 13-day journey to India. They were only aware of the arrival of the Dalai Lama a few days before.<ref> https://salute.co.in/dalai-lamas-escape/</ref> The Assam Rifles welcomed him on Indian soil the same day he arrived <ref>https://www.zee5.com/articles/assam-rifles-veteran-who-escorted-dalai-lama-on-his-arrival-in-india-from-tibet-passes-away</ref> <ref>https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/dalai-lama-meets-assam-rifles-jawan-who-escorted-him-after-his-escape-from-tibet/articleshow/57975868.cms?from=mdr</ref> and escorted him IN India.<ref> https://salute.co.in/dalai-lamas-escape/</ref>[[User:Paradise Chronicle|Paradise Chronicle]] ([[User talk:Paradise Chronicle|talk]]) 19:59, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
::* Thanks for this note {{ping|Paradise Chronicle}}. Pardon me if I am stating this incorrectly, I think that this is what ALT0 is suggesting, right? Happy to tweak the words if needed - the first part says that the escort was IN India. The second part refers to the overall journey as referenced in the NDTV link. Let me know. [[User:Ktin|Ktin]] ([[User talk:Ktin|talk]]) 20:19, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
:::* If we need to substitute the word 'when' with 'after', we can do that. [[User:Ktin|Ktin]] ([[User talk:Ktin|talk]]) 21:24, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
::::*Yeah but as to me, welcoming someone as one of several people is not notable enough for a hook compared to a hook on a 13-day trek/escape of the Dalai Lama. If you want to create an article on the escape let me know and I'll review it. I have actually caught some interest on the subject and would like to help creating such an article, reviewing this hook, I have read about the letter the Dalai Lama received which caused the escape, how Mao te Tung reacted to it, initially letting him go, then trying to prevent the escape etc. this I'd see as an article worth of a hook. What do you think?[[User:Paradise Chronicle|Paradise Chronicle]] ([[User talk:Paradise Chronicle|talk]]) 01:49, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
:::::* I still think this is interesting. I would not characterize Das' actions as "welcomed" but more as "escorted to safety" which is what the [[WP:RS]] sources are suggesting. If you want to add any information, please do. Cheers. [[User:Ktin|Ktin]] ([[User talk:Ktin|talk]]) 02:07, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
::::::* I have created an article on the Dalai Lama's escape from China now. Maybe we can think of a hook more interesting. I am thinking on a hook which includes the State Oracle or the crossing the Brahmaputra river before reaching India. What are your thoughts[[User:Paradise Chronicle|Paradise Chronicle]] ([[User talk:Paradise Chronicle|talk]]) 19:58, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
:::::::* I have adapted the hook as Ktin likes it, but now we need another reviewer who approves this.[[User:Paradise Chronicle|Paradise Chronicle]] ([[User talk:Paradise Chronicle|talk]]) 17:01, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
::::::::* Thanks {{u|Paradise Chronicle}}. Much appreciated. Btw, nice work on getting that other article going! Looks promising! [[User:Ktin|Ktin]] ([[User talk:Ktin|talk]]) 22:51, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
