Francis Younghusband, the leader of the British military mission to Tibet in 1903–04, perceived the indigenous people of the country he had invaded as both possessing certain positive qualities and as severely lacking others. In his 1910 history of relations between India, Tibet and Britain he wrote: Summarizing the characteristics of the Tibetans, we may say, then, that while they are affable outwardly and crafty within, as most dependent people have to be; while they are dirty and lazy; and while their religion is degraded, and they show no signs of either intellectual or spiritual progress, yet at heart they are not an unkindly or unsociable people, and they have undoubtedly strong religious feelings. [...] And there are in them latent potentialities for good, which only await the right touch to bring them into being
