.If his family is saying that he was a Tibetan, then who are you to argue that it's not true? Also, I don't think it is fair to judge Tenzing Norgay as a traitor or anything else. He was poor, and he did what he thought was the right thing to do by accepting the Indian passport. If the Nepalese government at that time was really proud of him, I think they should have shown it by at least giving the man a passport to travel to England.
