Map of Greater Tibet consist of Ü-Tsang, Kham and Amdo. Modern states consist of Tibet Autonomous Region + Parts of Qinghai, Sichuan and Yunnan. Also, a large part of present-day Uyghuristan and parts of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Bangladesh were part of the Tibetan Empire in the past.
The flag of Tibet is often used as a symbol of the Tibetan Independence Movement. It was introduced by the 13th Dalai Lama in the early 20th century and is currently used by the Tibetan Government in Exile in India.

The Tibetan independence movement (Tibetan: བོད་རང་བཙན Bod rang btsan; simplified Chinese: 西藏独立运动; traditional Chinese: 西藏獨立運動) is the political movement advocating for the reversal of the 1950 annexation of Tibet by the People's Republic of China, and the separation and independence of Greater Tibet from China.

It is principally led by the Tibetan diaspora in countries like India and the United States, and by celebrities and Tibetan Buddhists in the United States, India and Europe. The Central Tibetan Administration is based in Dharamshala, India.

The Tibetan independence movement is no longer supported by the Central Intelligence Agency, which ended its Tibetan program after the 1972 visit by Richard Nixon to China. Later in the 1970s, the 14th Dalai Lama, who had backed it since 1961, also withdrew his support but now supports The Middle Way Approach.[1][2][3][4]
