And that goes a little. Please excuse us for not being able to give this lecture in delhi as wed planned. But the doctor strongly advised me to stay here in toronto. To. Journalist tensing lives in doubt im sorry. Its 6 30 in the morning and shes making her daily visit to the dalai lamas temple complex. On the way people spin these prayer wheels they believe that this ritual will bring good luck 10. Singh is praying for the dalai lama right now. Its actually the only light to the tibetan so even though all its a very Small Community here ill be happy madness to create our own little mini tibet here in terms of the most residents and the temple is just up there so we took one of the poles down to the tibetan strategic that Early Morning and also if the evening that this is really important part of this activity. Tensing works hard to preserve tibets cultural heritage. Weve been true to later that morning she arrives in the newsroom of the voice of tibet Radio Station where shes the editor in chief the station provides its listeners with content on life in tibet and in the Exile Community to band has been part of the peoples republic of china since 1951 so the region covers about 12 percent of chinas total area its tensing was born in india and has never been to the bat. Chinese censorship makes it hard for her and her staff to find out whats really going on that. Our target audience is that that was inserted that its like they fired me and that they were in there so theyre going to make anything any story from inside tibet of course its its a challenge because you dont know the place but with the advent of technology that if the debt went off in a different different channels like social media and apps. We do find you know a lot of options to try to get inside tibet but at the same time china is spending huge by the entry sources to stop all this flow of information an estimated 6000000 tibetans live in china in recent years only a few of them have managed to leave the country because the government is making emigration more difficult. This editor was smuggled out of china as a child were not going to identify him because hes afraid that the chinese authorities will punish his parents who still live there. My mother and i stay in touch with each other but we only use when chatter chinese out my mother is still in tibet and after we finish she doesnt contact me again for at least a week and we keep opening new we each other counts. So we try to get around the surveillance. Over the research little. About 10000 tibet and exiles live in datums salam which is located about 200 kilometers west of the chinese border the city has sometimes called little lost or a reference to the capital of tibet. Tashi tearing helped the dalai lama escape to india in 1959 after chinas army moved into parts of tibet. To put down a Popular Uprising touching was a tibetan soldier at the time. Right now hes visiting a small museum thats devoted to the conflict between tibet and china. Until 950 tibet enjoyed a good deal of autonomy then the new communist Chinese Government sent troops to occupy the region battens put up stiff resistance for the next several years but their forces were outnumbered the dalai lama fled to india in 1959. It was a difficult journey through the himalayas and china now ruled all of tibet. Good that. I accept the fact that ill never see tibet again. Broken off contact with my relatives there. Big grew up under chinese rule. Ive dedicated my life to the dalai lama. My relatives and i simply view things differently. The minute. Tashi tearing soon followed his spiritual leader into indian exile in return for his Loyal Service he was allowed to stay at the dalai lamas residence for the rest of his life even kept cattle in a stable than today tash hes 82 years out the memories of tibets Armed Conflict with china in the 1950 s. Are still vivid. You think. Both of the vineyard up what you might your gore those were very difficult times you know we had to finish off some comrades whod been wounded and. We told them to close their eyes and think about his holiness the dalai lama we said goodbye to him at the Indian Border it was like our father leaving us. And. When we went back to fight the walk over there with richard there are. A large crowd has gathered at the temple complex for the dalai lamas 1st public appearance since he left the hospital many here are concerned about his health hes 84 years old now and chest infections can be dangerous for elderly people. The dalai lama is an enormously popular figure around the world jew in large part to his charismatic personality. And he now seems on the road to recovery. Tensing poll done well broadcast a report about this event on her Radio Station its the only way that tibetans in china will hear about it. Actually you know. That is in the form of somebody that he just said that he has resumed his activities. But at the same time im very worried that you know his resume to do that is this right now deceased as an elephant he doesnt see what he has to believe. To more this. The dalai lama describes himself as a simple Buddhist Monk but to do better hes a symbol of peaceful protest and the struggle for control independence in 2011 he announced that he would step down as the official leader of the tibet and community outside china but he continues to speak out on political issues. Said indias the severity isnt that good torture brainwash but mainly more of this fear. So now. Are some journeys more interludes through or more or severe. Oh openminded chinese you said daisy replace the last. 70 years and their policy is. Not effective. The dalai lama knows that china will never are now an independent event but he continues to demand that the all foreigners in beijing guarantee freedom of opinion and freedom of religion for the people of his homeland. A hope for. I always 0. The chinese sort of power. Is that bit of strength or is it saw. That there is more decisive. Role ron paul is much more stronger than the ball. The dalai lama is concerned about who will succeed him as the tibetan spiritual leader and that china may try to influence the process but just because he was opposed to beijings policies intervent he does not reject marxist philosophy out of hand. Good waltz from germany. Where in europe industrialisation is a war good for true. Of exploitation so he stepped forward there right. Then. Per his Economy Today is equal distribution. By fully sort of button wire or it be so into the. Describe a city sort of a social corner with to the skull. Oh marxist. To get back at the Radio Station tensing belden and her colleagues are preparing reports about the dalai lamas latest public appearance. As a respected International Figure and Nobel Peace Prize laureate he also plays a key role in brazing farms for the tibetan Exile Community. Not just so west of tibet i think many of the news media not just news media. Walking sin if theyre. Dependent on. If it comes to getting its foreign aids from. Like all our leaders to. Nonprofit open theres issue and we saw that dependent on foreign funds so i think all of that when you think about that had to go once his otherness passes away its going to be his challenge for us. Around lunchtime 10 sings friend 10 since when do you stops by the Radio Station for a visit hes a writer and independence activist he and tensing often debate the Current Situation in tibet. Tensing will be satisfied with nothing less than full independence for to batten on and admits that this could course some problems for Ethnic Chinese who now live there and. Other one. And that new tibets of course would have the chinese also you know of course the. Uneasier been living in tibet is almost double the population of tibet and theyve been there for a long time. So we have to find a reasonable time period to see once debate is free an independent. Who are the ones who have to walk back to their own country and who may continue to stay we have to offer a new tibet was tensing believes that this position goes too far this issue and many others devising Exile Community tensing offers polite criticism of tenzin and other radical activists. There are some into the who when they talk about it. Without looking at their intention in a way when they make some come out against against it and that is something that is not really taken there by the major lot so thats how the trip tension comes about. But tensing doesnt let political differences affect her personal relations she knows a lot of people in her neighborhood the tibetans in dharamsala dont mix very much with the citys indian residents. 10 sings extended family lives in houses that are next door to each other the family has been in india for 2 generations. They marry only other tibetans tensing son is now away at boarding school she hopes to pass along to him the traditions of her culture and religion. They are for this in the foreign land here and we have to protect our culture we have to protect our you know tradition and so in order to protect and sustain our culture family life is very important and lets make sure that gets to know how in florida. Along with keeping the tradition alive. Tensing lives with her mother who 76 years old she belongs to the 1st generation of tibetan exiles shes pleased that her daughter has made a better life for herself in india. I never learned to read all right i was my parents only child and i cant even write my own name. But here in india my daughter was able to get an education and im proud of that. But there were no opportunities like that in tibet when i was growing up. Maybe its different today but thats what it was like back then. Well yes. Dharamsala has become a Tourist Destination over the last few decades due in part to it simi plantation climate and thriving buddhist culture many of the tibetan residents work in the tourism industry. Tensing grow up on the citys main street there are lots of souvenir shops here her parents used to own this one. Today her sister in law works here the family used to make a good living with the shop but not anymore. And pushing. The city has changed a lot these days business at the shops is down because too many of them sell the same goods and the restaurants have fewer customers because of all the fast food shops. This is. The situation of the exiles is complicated by the fact that the Indian Government hasnt made much of an effort to integrate them into society. Especially with the legal documents that they have an india its very hard to get a job. Other than listen to that administration though its hard to get a job that they want. So most of most of the time they end up either immigrating to the vest or doing some paid it is this here. Tensing is nice tents in runs or start up company that sounds clothing and cosmetics. She has University Degrees in both Business Administration and fashion marketing. She attended college in delhi but preferred to return to dharamsala after she completed her studies. In my class we have like 5 today. Its always a lot easier to stay if you dont need people we know so we hardly talk to indians not that we dont want to tell to but then they have a Little French speaking we find it more. Tedious to believe it is. And then we also hate told morning english are in so. Because of that maybe all the a lot of people only just stay with our own Community People know. Tensing already has 30000 followers on instagram shed like to move to the us one day and set up a business there. Actually the thing is i think there is a lot more opportunity when it comes to the west it is the thing is if you stay in india you have a normal life and then but then when you want to make a future plan or something i think its better when it. Really comes to. The rescue really i think its all because of the issues that even of their. Own the money gets. To hailey owens. More than 90000 to better next hours live in india many of them are affiliated with the Tibetan Youth Congress an International Nongovernmental organization that promotes tibet and independence. Its members also take part in social welfare activities that benefit the Exile Community. Most of the tibetans who go to the worst who go to. The go america or europe or australia where they are going there just so the. Could provide for their families but also their children and their children to have a good education so thats why theyre there and then once they are settled and. Theyre making enough money that it will deploy and we see a lot of debate is contributing to the Society Careers contributed to the movement which is a positive side. By. The organization can still call out several 1000 people for a Tibetan Independence rally in delhi but the crowds are getting smaller in the 1990 s. Such demonstrations one big media events that often drew hollywood celebrities but today this movement is attracting less attention than it used to and. I. Am. A reporter for radio free tibet is here to cover the demonstration but thats about the extent of the media presence. Tensing pelton visits the stations office in delhi she and a reporter take a look at photographs from the rally. There were some clashes with police but otherwise they say that the event was a success. To journalists walk through delhis government district the Exile Community is grateful that theyve been able to find refuge in India Economic ties between india and china are gradually improving but political tensions remain and the presence of the tibetan exiles here is a sensitive topic for both countries. So for the time being it appears that india will take no further steps to integrate it to better and population. How can i say the Indian Government as a government when the tibetans dont really have the right to citizenship of course the citizenship act of india has made some provisions it allows some tibetans from citizenship but that also comes with a lot of conditions so these conditions make it really difficult for the tibetans to get this right. This evening a group of intellectuals and activists are meeting at the house of tens in soon do in dharamsala. Most of these people have started to brought their pleas that the administration of us President Donald Trump is taking a tough stand on trade with china. But many fear that beijing will continue to spread its economic influence around the while not just as you will and that will be bad news for Tibetan Independence. Today almost 150 countries are trading with china and theyre benefiting from chinas occupation of tibet and chinas. Violation of human rights and tibet which has resulted to more than 155. 00 tibetans killing themselves self immolation burning themselves. So these are direct results of global trade everybodys involvement and everybody is benefiting from this. The tibetan Exile Community is divided about how best to achieve their goal of cultural and political independence. Theres. I think the struggle has come to a level where theres a lot of stagnancy and nobody wants to listen to the other one and i feel that we have come to a stage where you know maybe if you could have afforded the kind of. In the kind of personal attachment that you could have if you ideology. But now is the stage where if we have to find that Common Ground and find that unifying factor out. But all tibetan exiles agree that education is the key to preserving their traditions they have set up schools wherever theyve settled like this one interim sylar. But classes are taught by Buddhist Monks into baton and in english it is essential for the children to learn to read and write. In china 40 percent of all tibetans are still illiterate and the number of those who speak to better is falling. Here is even Young Children learn buddhist meditation techniques. The school is hosting a special event today tensing belden is running a bit late shes here to attend the annual recital sponsored by the Tibetan Institute of performing arts. 1000 people have crowded into the School Auditorium to enjoy traditional music and dancing. Many are overcome with emotion as the tibetan flag is carried on to the stage the flag was banned by the Chinese Government in 1959. That the performance filled the audience with National Pride and served as a reminder that the exiles main goal is independence for their homeland. A number of people here say that they still dream of returning to tibet. Rather than. On her way home Tenzing Calderon once again visits the temple complex. She prays that the dalai lama will have a long life so that he can continue to lead his people. Yeah. Yeah. Any successor to the dalai lama will be chosen according to the buddhist principle of reincarnation china says it has the right to choose that successor since it controls tibet but the current dalai lama rejects that notion. He is not his monks are practicing martial arts techniques they too hope that one day theyll be able to return to to bat. But china refuses to hold talks with the exiles and this policy will not likely change anytime soon. Oh my heavens ive been saying that you are to.
