Nefarious water wars

By: Jayadeva Ranade Express News Service [01 Sep 2010]

Savants and sages from India continue to ascend the high Himalayas in search of nirvana. The Mansorovar Lake in Tibet, which is venerated by Hindus, at one level symbolises the importance of the waters of Tibet for India.

Tibetan Political Review [Wednesday, August 25, 2010]

By The Tibetan Political Review Editorial Board

Of all the potential Kalon Tripa and Chitue candidates, little is yet known about what they actually stand for. That is because, so far, the statements by and about the candidates have been largely about the candidates themselves, rather than what policies they would implement if elected. This is a problem that Tibetan democracy must address if it is to mature.

The Dalai Lama: A monk on the move

E-mail Print PDF
Hindustan Times [August 23, 2010]

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is 75 but still a true globetrotter, so much so that he doesn't really need to unpack. He's made 11 trips just in the last seven months - to places within India and outside to speak on peace, non-violence, Buddhism and even environmental concerns. And last year, the Dalai Lama made 20 visits abroad including the US, Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Canada and France.
