Hyderabad Lights a candle for Tibet

At a time when Tibetan people and supporters of thr Tibetan cause gathered to light a candle for Tibet, Hyderabad too was on the move.
Students For A Free Tibet,as part of its festival of protests,with other Tibet support groups organised a candle light vigil at Indiira Park at 18.30 pm.
Tibetan people and local residents of Hyderabad gathered to condemn the illegal occupation of Tibet by the Chineese forces. Tying an orange ribbon on her hand, Tsamchoe, a research scholar at the Central University of Hyderabad and a member of Students for A Free Tibet commented that " all freedom loving people from diverse nationalities should unite to combat China's attrocites on Tibetan people".
Candle for Tibet did provide an oppurtunity for uniting people and was a spectacle, not to be missed,
After series of prayers and speeches, a 3 metre long candle was lighted by Dr. MN Rajesh, a specialist on Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Studies.
The lighting of the candle was followed by Indian and Tibetan national Anthem. While people lit candles the place was filled with slogans like "Tibet ki Azaadi, Bharat ki Suraksha", "UNO we want justice" ,"One World, One Dream, Free Tibet". "Say Yes To Freedom In Tibet".

Certainly it was an evening to remember.
