Tibet

(The story of a forgotten nation)

For centuries, living in peace and tranquility, humble and righteous, happy and contented, were the faithfully religious people from the roof of the world --- Tibetans. All ended with the advent of the atheist Chinese communist onslaught that came burning, killing, looting, raping and destroying, and thrown the heavenly kingdom into hell. Twenty percent people of the nation were slaughtered, ninety-nine percent monasteries plundered and burnt, monks were sent to labor camps and nuns were raped and forced to marry. Religion to them was a laughing stock and so to worship was a crime! Cultural genocide, environmental destruction and exploitation of natural resources have since then been intensely going on for the past 50 years.

Fortunately, their spiritual and temporal leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama succeeded escaping the Chinese assassination attempt into India along with many of his followers as refugees who brought the struggle here and fought this epic battle against the Communist China for 50 years.

Thus, our screening of the documentary film, 'Tibet: Cry of The Snow lion' on March 10, coincides with the historic uprising of Tibetans on March 10, 1959 against the Chinese invasion. This film depicts the unimaginable pains of the Tibetans and their courage for the struggle which we tend to forget. Please come, if not help, let's at least know the pains that this forgotten nation is undergoing. Let's stand for a cause!
