A short travellogue
Tibet is an occupied territory: so you feel the presence of the chinese military everywhere.
You can only go to Tibet as a group: the chinese authority doesN't issue individual visa. That way they have a better control....Lot's of people gathered in Kathmandu, Nepal and from there get to Tibet in a group. People must likely get in Tibet by plane and get out by trucks because the chinese authority have the reputation to block you in the territory, pretending that the plane is full of military. Your visa expired and you have to pay fees!!!!!
When I went to Tibet, no Americans were allowed to get in because it was the commémoration of the 40th anniversay of the liberation (!?) of Tibet, that's the way Chinese promote what they are doing to Tibetans : liberation of religion.
If a tourist as a photo of the Dalai Lama, the whole groups is expulsed and the guide is put in jail. Chinese search are frequent. They look at the borders for what they call tibetan propanganda!!!! : books for example.
I have a lot to say about Tibetan: they are nice, smiling even with there situation and very palyfull, even adult play tricks and have a great sens of humor.
I have travelled a little bit (in africa also ) but it is in Tibet that I lived through the most difficult thing: a woman wanted to give me her child (a baby) pointing at her belley wanting me to know that another one was coming....... very difficult.......
Good for noW
Have a good day and sorry for the mistakes, my first language is French.

The Road Ahead
The Student For A free Tibet, Hyderabad chapter is relatively a new chapter. its been just one month since the chapter was innaugarated. its been managed by a commitee of students. the chapter operates from the Central University of Hyderabad. the chapter isnt registered yet though a letter for registration has been submitted to the Dean of Students welfare-University of Hyderabad.
The aim of the SFT Hyderabad chapter is to spread awareness regarding the tibetian freedom struggle amongst the members of the students community. the commitee has been at work evr since the chpter was innaugrated and has been recieving good support from the campus community. the members of SFT have been instrumental in spreading awareness at personal level. the members discuss the issue of tibet with the students and in turn make them aware of the Tibetian freedom struggle and try to seek their support in the movement. The chapter aims at organising semknars,lectures and documentary screenings on the Tibetian cause.
Very soon you would be able see some more posts regarding our work in the campus.
