Trinley Gyatso (also spelled Trinle Gyatso and Thinle Gyatso; 28 December 1856 – 25 April 1875) was the 12th Dalai Lama of Tibet. His short life coincided with a time of major political unrest and wars among Tibet's neighbours. The British Empire, which controlled India, was expanding its influence northwards, while the Qing dynasty, weakened by the Opium Wars and the Taiping Rebellion, lost influence in Tibet, leaving the Tibetans politically adrift. He was recognised as a reincarnation of the Dalai Lama in 1858 and enthroned in 1860. Read more on Wikipedia

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. 12th Dalai Lama is the 4,126th most popular politician (up from 4,212th in 2019), the 274th most popular biography from China (up from 323rd in 2019) and the 169th most popular Chinese Politician.

The 12th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is most famous for being the first Dalai Lama to be born in Tibet. He was also the first Dalai Lama to be born in a free Tibet.
