My depiction of Tibet's borders with India are based on these sources:
- 1:
DK Atlas of World History
(2000 edition, pg. 262), showing Tibet's borders in 800 AD, with northern India (the entire length of the Ganges, almost to the Indus river) under Tibet's control.
- 2:
Huhai.net's
map of
Asia in 750 AD
, which shows Tibetan control over Kamarupa, Bengal, and Pala.

- 4: Google Book's
"History of Tibet"
(Page 54), makes several notes of
Nepal
's
Licchavi dynasty
as vassals of Tibet, and also says that India's
Pala Empire
under King
Dharmapala
accepted Tibetan overlordship.
- 5: Google Book's
"Ancient India"
, (Page 632), describes Tibetan activities during the reigns of Songtsan Gampo and King Harsha of Kannauj. Also describes the Tibetan subjucation of Kamarupa and Kannauj after the death of King Harsha.
- 6: Wikipedia's article about Tibetan King
Songtsan Gampo
states that Tibet and Nepal invaded India in 648 AD and defeated Harsha's successor, after the Indian King had attacked a Chinese envoy named Wang Xuanze. (That statement referenced with
