George Bogle (diplomat)
George Bogle (26 November 1746 – 3 April 1781)〔(Charles Edward Buckland, ''Dictionary of Indian Biography'' )〕〔Stewart, Gordeon T., ''Journeys to Empire: Enlightenment, Imperialism, and the British Encounter with Tibet, 1774–1904'', Cambridge University Press, 2009, p. 15. ISBN 978-0-521-51502-3〕 was a Scottish adventurer and diplomat, the first to establish diplomatic relations with Tibet and to attempt recognition by the Chinese Qing dynasty. His mission is still used today as a reference point in debates between China and Tibetan independence activists.
==Family background==
George Bogle was the third son of a wealthy Glasgow merchant, George Bogle of Daldowie, one of the Tobacco Lords and Anne Sinclair, a gentlewoman directly descended from James I and James II of Scotland. His father had extensive connections in the Scottish landed, commercial, and governmental elite, as well as trading contacts across the British Empire.〔Teltscher, Kate. (2006). ''The High Road to China: George Bogle, the Panchen Lama and the First British Expedition to Tibet'', p. 26. Bloomsbury, London, 2006. ISBN 0-374-21700-9〕
The Scots gentry to whom he belonged were in turn, in the 18th century, a key feature in the British state. Their political allegiance was often managed through patronage. In particular, Henry Dundas was able to offer the younger sons of gentry opportunities in India. This was to be a significant feature in George's career.
