    Three steps to counter Xi’s evil plans

    Tucked away in the laps of the Dauladhar range is the political seat of the Tibetan government in exile and home away from the stolen home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and thousands of other Tibetans in the area. It’s been more than sixty-three monsoons since His Holiness started living in Dharamsala and his…

  • India’s Ambiguous Support of One China Policy is Fuelling China’s Aggression

    India’s Ambiguous Support of One China Policy is Fuelling China’s Aggression

    India’s continued ambiguous support of the One China Policy is fueling and welcoming China’s aggression and hunger to grab more former Tibetan areas that lie within the borders of India today. If India wants to fold China backward into the pages of history pushing them into their Middle Kingdom, behind their Great Wall, rejecting the…

  • Ama Adhe: The lioness of Tibet

    Ama Adhe: The lioness of Tibet

    Life under the turquoise blue sky, pristine valleys and snow capped mountains came to an abrupt end when the bloody red stars shrouded the celestial skies. Overnight the quietness and the innocence of the beautiful place where she was born was raped and decimated by Mao’s men. Her family torn, her husband killed, this nomadic…

  • China at the anvil of hammer

    China at the anvil of hammer

    The biggest problem Tibetans are conflicted right now is to face their inner demon of righteous self denial. It gets worse amongst the so called educated elites of the Tibetan diaspora who are not able to align their extremely crooked spines with their conforming political correctness and I don’t want to say anything about the…

  • Reflection on the decade gone. Thoughts for the new one

    Reflection on the decade gone. Thoughts for the new one

    The decade of 2010-2020 saw the expedited decay of the Free Tibet movement on top of its already decomposing state. Tibet transformed in the arena of world politics from a genuine political case of China’s suzerainty over Tibet to a backward shift of moral and human rights issue. 

  • A question every Tibetan must ask before their mirror

    A question every Tibetan must ask before their mirror

    Times have changed but are no longer strange. Beijing just upped the ante and called the pro democracy protesters terrorist. Hong Kong is a hair closer to becoming the next Tiananmen massacre as China warns of playing with fire and hints at military intervention. United States led by Trump has vowed to escalate trade war…

  • This Street has Our Name

    This Street has Our Name

    Few years ago, when I was driving up the hills of Ithaca towards Cornell university, I stumbled upon a street name out of the blue called the Tibet Road. A quiet corner of a single lane road it was, surrounded by the usual quietness of the nature and probably punctuated by the frequent crossing of…

  • To thy neighbor Nepal: be alert, be wary, be cautious

    To thy neighbor Nepal: be alert, be wary, be cautious

    Leaving fear and terror behind, they sought refuge in this holy land. A safe haven it once was, now besieged by greed and polluted souls. Lord Buddha would’ve regretted having born in such a sinful place, where the followers of his Dharma, who sought shelter there are threatened with brutal force and malicious intent.

  • A Challenging Year of the Dog That Just Left us to Think Deeper

    A Challenging Year of the Dog That Just Left us to Think Deeper

    As the year of the Earth Dog comes to an end and the year of the Earth Pig ushers in, I can’t wait to wish my fellow Tibetans especially the ones inside Tibet a very happy losar. Although my only cynical displeasure is that this year Tibetan New Year falls on the same day as…

  • Born free yet imprisoned to a catalsymic history

    Born free yet imprisoned to a catalsymic history

    These days I feel like I have become a thorn. Not that I revolted against the CTA nor did I disrespected HHDL in any manner, shape or form. Honestly and with all sincerity, it is far fetched for me to even imagine to revolt against our own, when we have an enemy before us eating…
