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 Peoples Republic of China started

its claim on Tibet from the very days of

Chairman Mao Tsetung. In 1950, the
Peoples 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

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 martyrsseeing 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 further

Tibetan Government in Exile

The Kashang in
Session with HH the
Dalai Lama

Unlike other forms of Governments,

Tibets 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.

Why Should
We
Tibet is one of the issues most of the
powers have carefully ignored.
Protest? worlds
So unlike the Palestine and Kashmir

Why the Big

Question

issues the Tibetan issue is not an

issue for most of us. Not to get the
super power Chinas 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.
