The Tibet Express (Bod-Kyi-Bang-Chen) is legally registered under the Information department and Press of Indian government. It is the first ever independent Tibetan weekly newsletter in our Tibetan society and till date, it is being widely distributed in around twenty different countries.
The head office of this weekly newsletter is based at Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh and its branch agencies are based in the most populated exile settlements Byllakuppe and Mundgod. (Its branch agency based in Kathmandu, Nepal has been compelled to close on 5th March 2009 after the regional reporter was detained by local police. He was released after paying the sum of Nepali Rupees six and half lakhs as bribe, but legally stopped us to continue our work there. Therefore, the branch agency based in Nepal is temporarily closed). The newsletter Bod-kyi-bang-chen is being printed and distributed simultaneously in Dharamsala, Mundgod and Byllakuppe.
Anyone can enter our website from both the addresses either tibetexpress.net or bangchen.net and both have same content. One can enrich one’s knowledge from our website by choosing any language either English or Tibetan or Chinese and also the readers can do online discussion and debate on any topic. Especially, one can get updated information about in and outside Tibet in our Tibetan web-version and one can participate in discussion through blog as well. We keep on working hard on tri-lingual discussion forums, articles on religion and culture, monasteries in exile, Tibetan settlements, etc.
We try our level best to translate any articles written by foreign learned and scholars on Tibetan issues, or any other important contemporary studies, articles written by Tibetans in other languages like English or Chinese. Khawa Karpo Tibet Culture Centre has published four books so far and whenever we find any book in other language which are important for Tibet and Tibetans, then we’ll surely work hard to translate and publish them. We have translated Wang Lixiong’s two important articles on Tibet and have kept in our paper, and it has received much appreciation and acknowledgement from our readers.
