THE TIBET MUSEUM PORTRAYS “TRUTH ABOUT TIBET’S HISTORY”: SIKYONG

The Tibet Museum portrays “truth about Tibet’s history”: Sikyong

Tibet post International

Wednesday, 18 May 2016 14:33 Shalkie, Tibet Post International

Dharamshala — The Tibet Museum of Department of Information and International Relations, CTA, commenced it’s three-day celebration of 39th International Museum Day by launching the museum’s exhibition catalog, “A Long Look Homeward” and a promotional video.

Sikyong Dr Lobsang Sangay was the chief-guest and launched the catalog. Mr Sonam N. Dagpo, Secretary of DIIR launched the promotional video of the museum. The Tibet Museum was established in 1998 and graced by His Holiness Dalai Lama, with the purpose to document, preserve, research, exhibit and educate on the matters related to Tibetan history, culture and the present issue.

The event saw Dr Sangay, Mr Tashi Phuntsok, Secretary of DIIR and Mr Tashi Phuntsok Director of the Tibet Museum addressing the audience on the importance and success of the museum in preserving the Tibetan culture, heritage and the stories of undying struggles of Tibetan people under the Chinese oppression. The museum is the proof of China’s attempts to create a false image of contentment and prosperity in Tibet.

Speaking to TPI, Sikyong said “Tibet issue is an issue of truth and justice. Truth is on our side and Justice is what we deserve, so this is the truth about Tibet’s history, this is the truth about occupation and oppression. China’s narrative says that Tibet is happy and content with the Chinese government. This is our true narrative in response to Chinese narrative.”

His message to the current world leaders regarding their passive approach towards the Tibet issue is “What Tibetans are facing and suffering is real so if they see, they must stand for the basic principles of their country which they claim to be democracy and freedom for all”.

Every year May 18th is celebrated as International Museum Day with the participation 142 countries and more than 35,000 museums.

Whole Tyrant – Red China’s Cultural Warfare on Tibet

Red China’s Cultural Warfare on Tibet

Red China’s Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong initiated Cultural Warfare on Tibet as part of his Campaign called ‘Cultural Revolution’ that started on May 16, 1966. This brutal Campaign of Cultural Repression, Political Oppression, and Economic Suppression to wipe out Tibetan Identity continues unabated. Cultural Revolution is not a relic of China’s past history. I ask people to break their silence to oppose Red China’s Cultural Warfare on Tibet.

THE WASHINGTON POST

CHINESE PAPERS BREAK SILENCE ON CULTURAL REVOLUTION, SAYING IT COULD NOT, WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN

By EMILY RAUHALA MAY 17, 2016.

**Red China’s Cultural Warfare on Tibet. Chinese citizens view writings and slogans in 1967 at the height of the decade-long Cultural Revolution. (AP Photo)**

Trust us, they say, the past is in the past.

Two newspapers linked to the Communist Party have broken the silence on the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution, publishing editorials meant to assure readers that the party has granted the country “immunity” from political chaos and social unrest.

The editorials, published by the state-owned People’s Daily and the Global Times, were rare public comments on a decade-long disaster that former party chairman Mao Zedong unleashed and that his party now prefers to play down, recast or ignore.

But the articles broke no new ground, rehashing the official line determined by a clutch of cadres in a 1981 resolution.In it, they condemned the violence of the era, blamed Mao and his close associates, and advised everyone to move on. The Chinese people never got a say.

In a piece published Tuesday, the People’s Daily hewed closely to the old line, noting that “history always advances.”
“There will not be re-enactment of a mistake like the Cultural Revolution,” it said.

An editorial in the Global Times, a newspaper known for its nationalist tone, hit at the same theme more forcefully: “We have bid farewell to the Cultural Revolution. We can say it once again today that the Cultural Revolution cannot and will not come back.”

The papers aim to instill confidence. They tell readers that what was decided in 1981 was not contingency or compromise but “unshakably scientific and authoritative” fact. They emphasize that the Chinese people have decided, unequivocally, to push ahead.

This is standard policy on several historical questions, from the Great Famine to the Tiananmen Square protests. As a result, when party papers write boldly about eyes fixed forward, it casts our gaze back, reminding us of how China’s past is shaping the present — and spooking the ruling party along the way.

Over the years, some survivors of that brutal decade have come forward to tell their stories, calling for truth and accountability, wanting to address old wounds. Under President Xi Jinping, though, the space for reflection has narrowed.

Xi has moved in many ways to bolster Mao’s reputation, drawing a single line between revolutionary struggle, World War II and the era of “national rejuvenation” that he says is underway.
But Xi, a survivor of the Cultural Revolution, knows well that marshaling Mao is dangerous business; when you invite people to rally around the party’s founder, you risk overshadowing the party itself.

The truth is that the party’s stance on the Cultural Revolution is not accepted as fact.

It is questioned by survivors who want their trauma acknowledged and by neo-Maoists who think talk of “calamity” is overblown. Some see shades of Mao in Xi’s moves to consolidate power; others dismiss the comparison outright.

In an editorial published in the run-up to the anniversary, even the Global Times acknowledged the split, saying the Cultural Revolution “remains divisive” and has become a “proxy” for clashes between “rightists” and “leftists” debating “China’s political route.”

Which is why Tuesday’s twin editorials seem to open, not close, the question of what the Cultural Revolution means and what that, in turn, means for the party.
The party asks for faith. Its papers beg the question: Does it yet trust itself?

Whole Trouble – Never Ending Cultural Revolution Troubling Tibet

Trouble in Tibet – Never Ending Cultural Revolution

Red China formally launched her Cultural Revolution on May 16, 1966 paving the Road to Tibet’s Serfdom. On its 50th Anniversary, Tibetans experience the same sense of horror for the Cultural Revolution has never ended. World should not remain silent on this human tragedy.

CHINA WAS SILENT ON ITS 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION

Jun Mai, South China Morning Post May 16, 2016, 11:01 PM

**TROUBLE IN TIBET – NEVER ENDING CULTURAL REVOLUTION. TIANANMEN SQUARE, BEIJING ON MAY 16, 2016. 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION.**

Reuters/Kim Kyung-Hoon Paramilitary solders stand guard at Tiananmen Square where the portrait of late Chinese chairman Mao Zedong is seen, on the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cultural Revolution in Beijing, China, May 16, 2016.

Mainland media met the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cultural Revolution with silence in a reflection of Beijing’s eagerness to contain discussion and avoid embarrassment over one of the most tumultuous periods in Chinese history.

A party directive issued on May 16, 1966, that launched a campaign to rid the country of “representatives of the bourgeoisie” plunged the nation into 10 years of turmoil and violent class struggle that would leave at least 1.72 million dead.

In a speech on China’s economy first made public last Tuesday, President Xi Jinping called the revolution a “decade of catastrophe” that had stalled the country’s industrialization.

But when the anniversary arrived, while international media dug through photo and story archives to provide extensive coverage, official Chinese outlets such as People’s Daily stayed away from the topic.

The website ifeng.com, which belongs to the Hong Kong-based Phoenix Media Group, briefly ran a piece featuring street interviews with people on the mainland, asking them their thoughts on the revolution.

One woman, asked for the worst part of the revolution, replied that it was the Nanking Massacre – an event which in fact happened almost 30 years earlier, in 1937 during the Japanese invasion of China.
A man said he had no memory of what happened in “ancient times,” while some said they would take part in the revolution because “everyone was doing it.”

**TROUBLE IN TIBET – NEVER ENDING CULTURAL REVOLUTION. TIANANMEN SQUARE, BEIJING ON MAY 16, 2016.**

Reuters/Kim Kyung-Hoon A cleaner sweeps ground in front of the Mausoleum of late Chinese chairman Mao Zedong at Tiananmen Square on the 50th anniversary of the start of the Cultural Revolution in Beijing, China, May 16, 2016.

The report was deleted from the website, then reappeared and was deleted for a second time.

This month’s publication of Yanhuang Chunqiu, a monthly political magazine run by party liberals, was delayed a week as its editors and censor disagreed over articles on the revolution. One article was removed, a source close to the magazine said.

No official commemoration was held on the mainland, following the lead of previous anniversary dates, and online discussions on Weibo were censored.
Foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei offered a single sentence in response to a question about the anniversary in yesterday’s daily press briefing.

“The Chinese government already made the correct verdict on it long ago,” Hong said.

MOTHER OF FIVE DIED IN 145th KNOWN TIBET SELF-IMMOLATION PROTESTS

**Atlas of Emotions – Knowing Emotions of Sonam Tso Tibetan Mother of Five. Where is her Mind Map? Was she thinking of Freedom??? Is it Fear or Defiance of Chinese Rule???**

(TibetanReview.net, May 08, 2016) – A belated report caused by China’s clampdown on communication channels and tight restrictions on the local people says a Tibetan mother of five died after she carried out a protest self-immolation near a monastery in Dzoege (Chinese: Ruo’ergai) County of Ngaba (Aba) Prefecture, Sichuan Province, on Mar 23.

Sonam Tso, believed to be in her 50s, told her husband, Kelsang Gyatso, who was walking with her on the circuit path running around Dzoege’s Sera Monastery, to go keep going while she proceeded to a nearby prayer-wheel room, promising to catch up with him later, said Dharamshala-based Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) May 7. However, the woman, who belonged to Dotsa Village in the county’s Akyi Township, then set herself alight.

“A young monk heard her call out for the return of the Dalai Lama (Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader) and for freedom for Tibet as she burned,” the Tibetan Service of Radio Free Asia (Washington) Jun 6 quoted a local source as saying.

The young monk and Tso’s husband, alerted by the monk’s shout that a self-immolation had taken place, rushed to her and struggled to put out the flames. An elderly monk named Tsultrim, Tso’s uncle, then took her inside the monastery. She was later put in a vehicle to be taken to hospital but died while still in the monastery compound.

Following the incident, Chinese police detained Tso’s uncle for eight days for discussing the incident with other people. They forced him to delete the photos he had taken of Tso’s protest. Tso’s husband was also reported to have been called in for questioning three times.

Besides her husband, Tso is said to be survived by two sons and three daughters.

Tso’s action, which came after nearly a month since a young monk burned himself and died in the province’s Kardze (Ganzi) Prefecture, brings to 145 the number of known such self-immolations across Chinese ruled Tibet since 2009.

TCHRD said Sonam Tso had left a message before her self-immolation, but its contents remain unknown.

On 4 May 2016, a sudden mass death of fish in the Lichu River in Minyak Lhagang, Dartsedo County in Karze Prefecture brought hundreds of local Tibetans out on the street, protesting against a lithium mining company (Ronda Lithium Co Ltd) that released mine waste into the Lichu River, a tributary of Nakchu/Yalong river, the biggest river that merges with Yangtse downstream.

Tibet-Minyak-2016-212 — **Whole Trouble – Chinese Mining in Minyak County, Kham Province, Tibet**

Dharamshala — More than 100 Tibetans have protested against Chinese mining operations at a site considered sacred by local Tibetan residents, drawing a large police force to the area and prompting fears of clashes.

‘The protest took place at Yulshok Gargye in Minyak County, Kham Province of eastern Tibet (Ch: Minya Konka, Kangding County, Sichuan, China),” on May 4, 2016,’ Aka Penpa, a monk from South India told the TPI.

‘Chinese authorities deployed dozens of police forces in vehicles to the protest site, immediately after the event,’ TPI’s source said.
“The situation is still very tense, as there are growing fears among the locals that the security crackdown, may take place in the open sky,” sources said, adding: “It is also unknown whether or not the Chinese authorities arrested any of these Tibetan protesters.”

Mt Minyak Gangkar is one of the highest mountains in Kham region of eastern Tibet, which is located near Dartsedo City. It is with elevation of 7556m. The town of Dartsedo was an important trade center between Tibet and China, and for centuries its importance lay on the tea-horse trade. Mt Minyak Gangkar is one of the most sacred snow capped mountain in the Kham region.

Mining operations in Tibet have led to frequent standoffs with Tibetans who accuse Chinese firms of disrupting sites of spiritual significance and polluting the environment as they extract local wealth.

China starts construction of Tibet’s biggest hydropower plant on upper reaches of Yangtze River
Power plant expected to provide electricity to developed eastern provinces

PUBLISHED : Saturday, 30 April, 2016, 4:01am

LI JING

China has started construction of the first hydropower station on the Jinsha River – part of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River – that will supply electricity to the economically well-off regions in the country’s east, official media reported.

The Suwalong hydro power project at the junction of Mangkam county in Tibet and Batang county in Sichuan province has a design capacity of 1.2 gigawatts and will be able to generate about 5,400 gigawatt hours of electricity a year when completed in 2021, Xinhua reported.

The design capacity is more than double that of the Zangmu hydropower plant, Tibet’s largest existing hydro project, which was completed in October on the Yarlung Zongbo river.
It is hoped that the 18 billion yuan (HK$21.5 billion) Suwalong dam, could pave the way for other projects in the headwaters of the adjacent Nu (Salween) and Lancang (Mekong) rivers to “fuel development” of hydro power in Tibet, the official website Tibet.cn reported.

China’s second largest dam the Xiluodu dam, under construction along the Jinsha River in Yongshan County, Yunnan near the border Sichuan.

The Suwalong project will also boost local social and economic development in Tibet, according to the website.
Construction of the 112-metre-high dam is expected to start next year.

Developed by China Huadian Corp, the Suwalong dam is being built at a time when the weak grid infrastructure and falling demand for electricity has left many hydropower stations lying idle in the mountainous southwest region.

More that 20,000 GWh of hydro electricity were not used in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, which neighbour Tibet, in 2014. Energy experts estimated that enough water to generate 40,000 GWh was simply allowed to run through turbines in the region last year.

The Xiluodu double-curvature arch dam was built by China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGPC). It is the second largest dam in China, next only to the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) in terms of size, construction cost and generating capacity.

The new dam was constructed in the lower Jinsha River, which is a major tributary of the Yangtze River. The dam is located on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River between Yunnan Province and Sichuan Province.

Construction of the CNY50.34bn ($6.2bn) dam project began in December 2005, with the concreting commencing in 2008. Construction of the dam was completed in 2013.

With a reservoir capacity of 12.67 billion cubic metre (bcm) and flood control capacity of 4.65bcm, the Xiluodu Dam and TGD is capable of preventing floods up to 4.6bcm in the middle and lower parts of the Yangtze.

LARGEST EVER PHOTO FESTIVAL ON TIBETAN CIVILIZATION ‘THANK-YOU DALAI LAMA’

Tuesday, April 19, 2016

New Delhi: ‘Thank you Dalai Lama’ the world’s biggest photo festival is being presented at All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society (AIFACS). The festival that started last week will go on till 15th April, 2016 is based on internationally acclaimed Indian photo journalist Vijay Kranti’s pictorial work of the past four decades. Presented in all the four galleries of AIFACS, this show is the largest ever photo-exhibition on Dalai Lama and Tibetan Civilization till date.

This event is a sumptuous treat to the eyes and soul for those who love PHOTOGRAPHY, DALAI LAMA and BUDDHISM. For a special treat to the art lovers, a live demonstration of most exotic spiritual fine arts of Tibet is going on during the festival. These art pieces are demonstrated by reputed Tibetan artists of- THANGKA PAINTING, SAND MANDALA PAINTING and BUTTER SCULPTURE.

“This photo-festival is an Indian photographer’s artistic tribute to the success story of a peaceful and brave refugee community, its monk leader the Dalai Lama and their magnanimous hosts — the people and Government of India”, says Vijay Kranti.

This exhibition is the concluding show of Vijay’s five year long photo-festival titled “BUDDHA’s HOME COMING” which started in March 2011 at Barcelona in Spain. Other shows in this series included one at India International Centre, New Delhi during the “Ceremony of Bodhi Awakening” in March 2012, one at the Museum of Fine Arts of Panjab University, Chandigarh in April 2013 and the last one in Sydney, Australia in June 2014.

Vijay Kranti also added “It’s a humble acknowledgement on behalf of Indian citizens that HH Dalai Lama and Tibetan refugee community have made very creative use of Indian hospitality. The benevolent presence of HH Dalai Lama in India as our honoured guest since 1959 has enriched India’s spiritual, social and cultural life enormously in so many ways”.

About 300 photo exhibits along with slide shows based on over 500 images present an intimate photo-study of Dalai Lama, Tibetan culture and Tibetan refugee community in this photo festival.

“Dalai Lama is considered as the reincarnation of Lord Buddha. His coming and adopting India as his second home has proved a blessing in disguise for India. Looking at the enormous contributions he has made to India’s spiritual and cultural life, I look at his presence in India as the second home coming of Buddha after a long gap of over 2500 years,” says Vijay Kranti.

A senior Indian journalist, an accomplished photographer and an acclaimed Tibetologist, Vijay Kranti started his professional interaction with the Tibetan community and its leader, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, on a newspaper assignment in 1972. Since then he has been writing frequently on various aspects of Tibet and has extensively photographed the cultural and social life of the Tibetan community. His coffee table book “Dalai Lama – The Nobel Peace Laureate Speaks” which is based on photography and personal interviews with Dalai Lama, stands out as the only book of its kind in the international market. His latest comic book “Dalai Lama – The Soldier of Peace”, published in English, Tibetan and Hindi has also been quite popular too.

Over past four decades Vijay Kranti has evolved an impressive photo-archive on various aspects of Tibetan life. This collection is acknowledged as the largest and aesthetically rich photo-documentation of Tibetan life and culture across the globe. Mr. Kranti has been frequently invited to many countries including Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, the USA, UK, Canada, Spain and Australia to present his photo-exhibitions and photo based talk shows on Tibet.

This photo-festival is curated by a well known fashion photographer Akshat Kranti Mahajan.

BACKGROUND: In 1959 a handful of Tibetan refugees (just 80,000) followed their deposed monk ruler and spiritual leader the Dalai Lama into India. They arrived in a hopeless shape — no physical assets, no international language skills, no knowledge about the functioning of modern world politics or business. Simply nothing to shake hands with the strange new world…….

While Indian Prime Minister (Late) Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru ensured rehabilitation and a favorable and free environment to the refugees, many friendly international organizations came forward with financial, material and moral support to help them handle their trauma. Encouraged by this support, the Dalai Lama persuaded the exiled community to start a process of national reconstruction around whatever manpower and talent was available. 57 years later today, India has emerged as the largest reservoir of authentic Tibetan culture and Tibetan identity in the world. Vijay Kranti has been closely watching and documenting this rebirth of Tibetan civilization since 1972.

This photo-festival is an Indian photographer’s visual tribute to the success story of this brave and peaceful refugee community, its monk leader the Dalai Lama and their magnanimous hosts — the people and government of India.

Whole Aggression – Occupation of Tibet is a shameless act of Naked Aggression

Red China’s Occupation of Tibet – Shameless Act of Naked Aggression

Tibet’s military occupation describes ‘The Naked Truth’. The word ‘NAKED’ means completely unclothed, bare, nude, uncovered, exposed, plain, or stark. Publication of Nude Photo images in social media is not of much concern. Red China’s unprovoked attack, Red China’s use of her armed forces violating international laws, and Red China’s destructively hostile and aggressive actions constitute ‘The Naked Truth’ and this Shameless Act of Naked Aggression is cause of pain and suffering across Land of Tibet. There is no controversy; Queen of Red China is Shameless, has no clothes, and cannot hide or conceal her acts of aggression.

NUDE PHOTOS IN TIBET GET MIXED REACTION

Reaction to nude photos posted online of a woman at a sacred lake in the Tibet autonomous region has been mixed.

Negative comments followed the posting of the images earlier this week, but there were also many internet users who supported the nude photography and criticized Sina Weibo user YouchumDolkar for posting private images.

“Nudity does not necessarily imply sex, and nudity does not mean vulgarism,” said Weibo user Miaoira.

The photographer was not detained by the police, as reported by some media, according to Wang Jin, head of the publicity department of Nagarze county, Tibet. That was confirmed by the police in Lhasa, the regional capital.

However, Wang said, such photography would not be welcomed by ethnic groups, and public nudity is forbidden by the country’s public security regulations.

“Yamdrok Lake is one of the sacred lakes in Tibet, and it is of major significance to its people. Any action that desecrates the lake is forbidden,” Wang said.

YouchumDolkar, a female netizen, first posted the nude photos on Monday.

She condemned the actions of the male photographer and the woman for what she said was their “way of thinking without any cultural or moral principles”.

She added another post on Thursday saying, “I only wanted more people to know about the local customs in Tibet” and “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”

The posts had more than 2,370 comments and 390 reposts as of Thursday.

Accompanying the posts was a screen shot of a WeChat “Moment” in which the photographer explained that the woman who posed for the camera simply wanted to create a memory of the sacred spot because she was able to visit Tibet in the prime of her life.

Beijing News had reported on Wednesday that the police had placed the photographer－identified only as Yufeixiong in his social media account－in administrative detention for 10 days after receiving reports about the nude photo shoot from local residents.

The photographer did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday .

The Sichuan–Tibet Highway is known as China’s most dangerous highway. The highway begins in Chengdu, the capital of southwestern China’s Sichuan province, and ends in Lhasa, the capital City of Tibet. The highway spans 2,142 km, or 1331 miles, over 14 mountains (some with glaciers), runs through ancient forests, and crosses many rivers.

Because of the steep inclines of the landscape, the road was constructed with many curves and zigzags. Running through valleys, up and down mountains, and across or along rapid rivers, the route is made even more perilous by the fact that it is not fully paved with proper roads in some places.

Originally called the Kangding-Tibet Highway, this lengthy road will take the most dedicated traveler 44 hours to drive, but can take up to 15 days for someone who wants to stop and see all the sights (like a glacier or two) along the way.

A group of adventurous drivers took 11 sports cars on a journey along the famously perilous Sichuan–Tibet Highway, six of which didn’t even make it halfway. The disastrous results from the ill-advised adventure include a Ferrari and a Maserati with damages like broken axles and sheared tires.
