(en) Dramatic Events in Lhasa : « A few days earlier, I had received a letter from His Holiness who was then at Lhuntse Dzong with some of His senior officials, trying to set up a temporary government there. The letter read in part : "You have led the Chushi Gandrug force with unshakeable determination to resist the Chinese occupation army for the great national cause of defending the freedom of Tibet. I confer on you the rank of 'DZASAK'(the highest military rank equivalent to General) in recognition for your service to the country. The present situation calls for a continuance of your brave struggle with the same determination and courage." »

(en) Colin Goldner, The Myth of Tibet. How a dictatorial regime of monks is romantically transfigured, traduction publiée sur le site eunacom.net d’un article en allemand paru dans la revue diesseits sous le titre Mythos Tibet [# 49/1999, pp. 14-15] : « one cannot trust, in principle, the pronouncements of the exiled Tibet supporters-scenario: These are, if not totally invented out of thin air, as a rule hopelessly exaggerated and/or refer to no longer actual happenings. The contention of the Dalai Lama’s exiled government that "the daily life of the Tibetans in their own land" are dictated by "torture, mental terror, discrimination and a total disrespect for of human dignity" is pure propaganda meant to collect sympathy points or monetary contributions; such accusations do not reflect today’s realities in Tibet. Likewise, the accusations of forced abortions and blanket area sterilizations of Tibetan women, of a flooding of the land by Chinese colonists, of systematic destruction of the Tibetan cultural heritage do not agree with the facts ».

(en) Keila Diehl, Echoes from Dharamsala: music in the life of a Tibetan refugee community, University of California Press, 2002, (ISBN978-0-520-23044-6), p. 116 : « From the start, the government of India has granted Tibetans a large degree of autonomy in running the internal affairs of their communities, allowing Dharamsala’s government-in-exile to regulate welfare programs, an internal voluntary taxation system, schools, employment opportunities, and other aspects. »
Astrid Fossier, La communauté internationale et la question tibétaine, Irenees, juin 2003 : « Seule l’Inde, qui a accordé le droit d’asile au dalaï-lama en 1959, ainsi qu’à son entourage, aux membres de son gouvernement puis aux milliers de Tibétains réfugiés, exprime aujourd’hui une position claire à l’égard du gouvernement tibétain en exil. »
Audrey Garric, Le dalaï-lama renonce à son rôle politique mais pas à son influence, 10 mars 2011, « Mais en 1990, par souci d'amorcer une démocratisation du régime, il cesse de nommer les membres du cabinet, désignés depuis par le Parlement. Puis, en 2001, il décide de modifier la Constitution : le gouvernement devient dirigé par un premier ministre élu par les Tibétains en exil, soit près de 150 000 personnes – vote auquel ne participent pas les 6 millions de Tibétains de Chine. Le rôle politique du dalaï-lama se voit alors restreint à des fonctions honorifiques, telles qu'un rôle de représentation sur la scène internationale ou la nomination de trois des quarante-trois députés du Parlement. »
Martine Bulard, Chine-Tibet, des identités communes, article publié le 30 avril 2008 sur le blogue Planète Asie : « Rappelons que les Nations unies n’ont jamais inclus le Tibet dans les pays à décoloniser (avant comme après 1971 – date du remplacement de Taïwan par la Chine populaire) et qu’aucun pays n’a reconnu le « gouvernement » tibétain en exil et donc la possibilité d’une indépendance ».
(en) Mike Ely, The True Story of Maoist Revolution in Tibet, The Earthly Dreams of the Dalai Lama, in Revolutionary Worker, #767, August 7, 1994 : « U.S. imperialism was never particularly interested in Tibet--except as a platform for pressuring China. The U.S. never intended to install the lamaists as rulers over some future "independent Tibet." Like every other government in the world, the U.S. government officially held that Tibet was historically part of China, and the U.S. government never recognized the Dalai Lama's organization as a legal "government-in-exile." »
(en) Fiona McConnell, De facto, displaced, tacit: the sovereign articulation of the Tibetan Government in Exile, in Political Geography, 28, 2009, 343-352 : « The Tibetan Government in Exile (TGIE) remains internationally unrecognized and lacks de jure sovereignty over territory in both Tibet and in exile. However, this exiled administration claims legitimacy as the official representative of the Tibetan population, performs a number of state-like functions in relation to its diasporic ‘citizenry’ and attempts to make its voice heard within the international community. ».
