Young Tibetans have grappled for years with the radical idea of a Tibet without the Dalai Lama. Now, as His Holiness steps down, Tenzin Tsundue traces their difficult moment of change

My Gandhian guru, Rajiv Voraji, once told me a tale of a small kingdom ruled by a brute who’d break his subjects’ backs with heavy taxes while he made merry. The poor farmers, unable to revolt, left for a jungle. When the king’s rations finished, he realised his mistake and journeyed to the jungle, knelt down and begged them to return, saying, “I am not your king but your servant.”

By Phurbu Thinley

Dharamsala, March 23: Tibet’s Parliament in exile will hold far-reaching discussion to make all necessary amendments to The Charter of Tibetans in Exile that will formally legalise the Dalai Lama’s decision to pass on his political power to an elected leadership.

The Parliament on Monday constituted a high-level special committee headed by the Prime Minister Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche with the task to find ways to amend the Tibetan constitution to facilitate the smooth transition of Dalai Lama's political power to an elected leadership. Deputy Speaker Gyari Dolma and member of the parliament Mr Lhamo Kyab were the other members of the committee.

The committee was instructed by the parliament to submit a report on the matter by Wednesday.

Spanish High Court allows appeal for dropped cases against Chinese repression PDF Stampa E-mail

By Kalsang Rinchen


Dharamsala, March 15 - The Spanish High Court has issued a court ruling allowing the Comité de Apoyo al Tíbet (CAT) and the Fundación Casa del Tíbet to appeal the Audiencia Nacionals’ decision to shelve a lawsuit against three Chinese ministers and five senior communist party officials. 

In February 2010, Judge Santiago Pedráz of the Central Court Nº 1 said the court could no longer handle the case after a new law restricted its powers to investigate human rights cases abroad. Pedráz said the investigation would have to be dropped against the Chinese leaders due to the change in the law regarding universal jurisdiction in 2009, as the lawsuit neither involved Spanish victims nor were the accused on Spanish soil.

Viewpoint: Dalai Lama's exile challenge for Tibetans

It is true that for China and for most of us, we will not see much difference in the short term if his plan goes ahead. The Dalai Lama has said that he will continue travelling around the world as a religious leader and will still speak on Tibetan issues, albeit in a personal capacity.The Dalai Lama's promise on 10 March to step down from his position as head of the Tibetan government has already been described by the Chinese government and his critics as "a trick".

So this is not a monastic vow of silence or an end to his role as the figurehead of the Tibetan people and as the most powerful voice through which their concerns will be expressed.
