The Tibetan Youth Congress approached me to be their keynote speaker at the end of a large rally and hunger strike in front of the Chinese consulate in Manhattan. Their peaceful event brought 10,000 supporters, mostly white Americans and Tibetans. Traffic was stopped for a few blocks. There was heavy police presence. Rumors floated that the Chinese officials in the consulate across the street were photographing the participants to black list them. I deeply believe in the Tibetan cause at many levels - spiritual, human rights, and geopolitical. It is unfortunate that USA has abandoned them due to Chinese pressure. My talk explains why Tibet is geopolitically strategic for USA and India. Watch the Video |
