The Tale of Freedom in
Exile
A Land of Lamas, Lakes and Landscapes
Tibet is one of the oldest
civilisations that exist in
the world. Perched in the
bosom of the Himalayas it
is the one and only place
in the World ‘Buddhism’
as a religion was practiced
properly. It is also the seat
of the ‘Dalai Lama’ or the
Ocean of Wisdom, the
spiritual father of
Buddhists all over the
world. Once one of the
most happiest lands in the
world, but at present
under the imperial rule of
China.

The People’s Republic of China started
its claim on Tibet from the very days of
Chairman Mao Tsetung. In 1950, the
People’s Liberation Army invaded Tibet
and proclaimed the ‘Liberation of
Tibet’. Till 1959 they made several
hideous ideas to the rest of the world
to hide their real motives. This became
so intense in 1959 that many of the
holy sites in Tibet were destroyed. It
was during this time that the ‘Dalai
Lama’ got political asylum in India. At
the same time Peking issued a ‘cultural
revolution’ to destroy the Tibetan
culture. In 1965 Peking proclaims the
creation of ‘Tibet Autonomous
Region’, another set of lies claiming
that Tibet was a prosperous land
under them. What has started by Mao
is continuing still to the regime of
Jiang Zemin.
The Dalai Lama
The word ‘Dalai Lama’ means ‘Ocean of
Wisdom’. This name was given to the
greatest of the Tibetan Lamas by a
Mongolian King way back in the BCs. A
Dalai Lama is believed to be the reincarnation of his predecessors. Including
the present one there had been all together
14 Dalai Lamas. Unlike the rest 13 Dalai
Lamas it was the 14th one who gained much
acceptance in the Global scene. He was
awarded by many nations in respect of his
efforts to keep peace and the upliftment of
Tibetan culture. The greatest price in
recognition to his efforts was the Nobel
Peace Prize of 1989. The Dalai Lama has
authored a number of books among them
Freedom in Exile, stands different. It is his
life history as well as the history of Tibet. If
Tibet is ever free the Dalai Lama plans to
make it a demilitarized, arms free, peace
loving bio sphere. For more info click on to

Tibet on Communism
Communism is one of the greatest ideologies all over the world. The sharing
of wealth is a great theme. But unfortunately the reality is bitter always; the
ideology always ends up as a dream-even in Communist China. The sickle
and the hammer signifying the working class and the red colour signifying
the blood of the martyrs………seeing these elite ideas of communism even
HH the Dalai Lama too once wanted to join the Communist Party. HH says
in his biography, Freedom in Exile. “I remain at a loss to explain how it
happened, how the noble ideals of so many good men and women became
transformed into senseless barbarity. Nor can I understand what motivated
those people within the Chinese leadership who actively counselled the total
destruction of the Tibetan race. It seems that China is a country which has
lost its faith, as result of which the Chinese people have themselves,
endured unspeakable misery --- all in the name of Communism.” This was
what happened when people moved away from the true communist ideals
and spirit. Instead they turned to the ways of the old emperors. Now
Liberators=Emperors; all in the name of communism. For further

The Chinese Effect on Tibet
Lahasa City
Tibet is the Buddhist world prior to
the Chinese aggression. Once Tibet
was a solemn state; without bothering
any other nation. Tibet is now just a
game reserve or an amusement park
made by the Chinese. Many of the
ancient monasteries and relics were
bombarded by the PLA. Now the wild
life and the pristine virgin forest too is
at the verge of destruction. Tibet has
now become the site for disposing
Chinese nuclear waste. The people
are made to practice un-conventional
ways of agriculture causing the
destruction of the arable land and
causing famines. More over
Rice/Wheat has taken over Barley,
the staple food of Tibetans. For

Tibetan Government in Exile
The Kashang in Session
with HH the Dalai Lama
Unlike other forms of
Governments, Tibet’s governmental
structure is a three tire one. All
governmental posts used to have a
monk and a civilian head. The first
and for most of them is the
‘Kashag’, similar to the cabinet or
a body of seven elders/monks. The
head of the Kashag is called Kalon
Tripa. The two other bodies that
come after the Kashag are ‘The
Tibetan Supreme Justice
Commission’ and ‘The Assembly of
the Tibetan People's Deputies’. The
aim of all these groups is to keep
the Tibetan cause alive. The
present head quarters of the
Tibetan Government in Exile is at
Dharmashala in India. For more

Why Should We Protest?
Why the Big Question
Tibet is one of the issues most of the
world’s powers have carefully
ignored. So unlike the Palestine and
Kashmir issues the Tibetan issue is
not an ‘issue’ for most of us. Not to
get the super power China’s
displeasure most of our respective
nations tend to say nothing on this
respect. Many of the low cost Chinese
articles that come to our markets are
made at Tibetan labor camps or at
Chinese Gulags/ maximum security
prisons. This actually is not a good
think because whenever we are
keeping quiet the Tibetans are made
to dwindle into a minority. So it is
our turn to inform our respective
nations t be with Tibet. Now China
has crossed all sorts of limits and
this should stop and it is now the
duty of the whole humanity to
provide Tibet a place in the societies.
