QUOTE OF THE DAY

" What is Tibet? Is it just another myth? Fact or fiction? A tourist paradise? "the Roof of the World"? Shangri-la? The argument continues on and on. But to be short and simple Tibet is a land; a land with an endangered culture currently at the verge of sure extinction. It is a political reality; of dominion, of colonialism, of hegemony.

Who is responsible for this? China can be the first answer. But is it true? Aren’t we too responsible? Our silence; our indifference…didn’t it caused this cultural annihilation! "
