Tsarong received a traditional Tibetan education, and he showed an early interest in military affairs. In 1936, he joined the Tibetan army, and he quickly rose through the ranks. By the early 1940s, he was one of the most senior military commanders in Tibet.
In 1949, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) invaded Tibet. Tsarong led the Tibetan resistance to the PLA, but he was eventually forced to retreat to India. He lived in exile in India for several years, and he continued to be a vocal critic of the Chinese occupation of Tibet.
In 1959, Tsarong returned to Tibet, and he was appointed as the Minister of Defense. He served in this position for several years, and he played a key role in the modernization of the Tibetan army. He also helped to establish the Tibetan Special Frontier Force, which was a paramilitary force that was trained by the United States.
In 1965, Tsarong was appointed as the Prime Minister of Tibet. He served in this position for five years, and he oversaw a period of significant economic and social development in Tibet. He also played a key role in the negotiations with the Chinese government, which led to the signing of the Seventeen Point Agreement in 1951.
Tsarong resigned as Prime Minister in 1970, and he retired from public life. He died in Lhasa in 1999.
