New York — "Orwell himself would be hard pressed to invent a better vocabulary of totalitarian management. But ultimately the message of the Chinese authorities' terms for Tibetans is clear: political nonconformity will be punished, severely." said Sophie Richardson, China director of Human Rights Watch.

Dharamshala — Following His Holiness the Dalai Lama's trip to the contested territory, Arunachal Pradesh, and accusations from China that India has violated its commitments and put border dispute settlements at risk, the Indian government has made assertions that there is no change in policy regarding the Tibet Autonomous Region or border disputes with China.

Dharamshala — “These are clear signs where things that happened behind closed doors before is now done in open, in that sense the government is just letting the fact be seen by public,” the democratically elected Tibetan Prime Minister said in an exclusive interview with NDTV this week.
