the media ventures of the famous naturalist and explorer. 2 celebrated alexander from the world's 250. 4 again on a 4 year job discovery. expedition in boyd on. in april 2019 the dalai lama tibet's spiritual leader was released from hospital where he'd undergone treatment for a chest infection he returned to daytime salaam a city in northern india that's home to the tibetan exile community and met with some of his followers. i'm sure you've heard them had some mouth problems has an attitude always will you please excuse us for not being able to give this lecture in there is we'd planned. but the doctors strongly advised me to stay here

in toronto. to. journalist tensing lives in that i'm sorry. it's 6 30 in the morning and she's making her daily visit to the dalai lama's temple complex. on the way people spin these prayer wheels they believe that this ritual will bring good luck tensing is praying for the dalai lama right now. that's the only attitude the tibetans even though it's a very small community here we have to manage to create our own little mini exhibit

here into the most residences and the temple is just up there so we took one hole down at the tibetans turn to that early morning and also if the evening that this is really important part of activity. tensing works hard to preserve tibet's cultural heritage. and. later that morning she arrives in the newsroom of the voice of tibet radio station where she's the editor in chief the station provides its listeners with content tom's life in tibet and in the exile community to band has been part of the people's republic of china since 1951 so the region covers about 12 percent of china's total area. tensing was born in india and has never been to bant. chinese censorship makes it hard for her and her staff to find out what's really going on there.

our target audience is the tibetans inside at that it's like when you fire a week and they were in there so they're going to make anything any story from inside tibet of course it's it's had this because you don't know the place but with the advent of technology that the death band of you know different different channels like social media. we do find you know a lot of options to try to get inside tibet but at the same time china is spending huge now the entry sources to stop all this flow of information an estimated 6000000 tibetans live in china in recent years only a few of them have managed to leave the country because the government is making emigration more difficult. this editor was smuggled out of china as a child we're not going to identify him because he's afraid that the chinese authorities will punish his parents who still live there. and there was.

my mother and i stay in touch with each other but we only use we chatter chinese and. my mother is still in tibet and after we finish she doesn't contact me again for at least a week and we keep opening new we each had a count. so we try to get around the surveillance. of the research. about 10000 tibet and exiles live in dharam sala which is located about 200 kilometers west of the chinese border the city has sometimes called little last or a reference to the capital of tibet. tashi tearing helped the dalai lama escape to india in 1959 after china's army moved into parts of tibet to put down a popular uprising tashi was a tibetan soldier at the time. right now he's visiting

a small museum that's devoted to the conflict between tibet and china. until 950 tibet enjoyed a good deal of autonomy then the new communist chinese government sent troops to occupy the region to battens put up stiff resistance for the next several years but their forces were outnumbered the dalai lama fled to india in 1959. it was a difficult journey through the himalayas and china now ruled all of tibet. good that. i accept the fact that i'll never see tibet again. broken off contact with my relatives there. big grew up under chinese rule. our dedicated my life to the dalai lama. my relatives and i simply view things differently.

one of. your. tash eats herring soon followed his spiritual leader into indian exile in return for his loyal service he was allowed to stay at the dalai lama's residence for the rest of his life even kept cattle in the stable than today tash he's 82 years old the memories of tibet's armed conflict with china in the 1950 s. are still vivid. if you think. both of the window but your mother gord those were very difficult times you know we had to finish off some comrades who'd been wounded and. we told them to close their eyes and think about his holiness the dalai lama we said goodbye to him at the indian border it was like our father leaving us. and then we went back to fight that walk over there both which are dead are. a large crowd has

gathered at the temple complex for the dalai lama's 1st public appearance since he left the hospital many here are concerned about his health he's 84 years old now and chest infections can be dangerous for elderly people. the dalai lama is an enormously popular figure around the world jew in large part to his charismatic personality. and he now seems on the road to recovery. tensing pelton will broadcast a report about this event on her radio station it's the only way that tibetans in china will hear about it. actually lead. to that is in the furnace i'm very happy to see that he has resumed his activities. but at the same time i'm very

worried that you know he says interest. it is this right now this is does the law need that it has to be larger than the tick more or less. the dalai lama describes himself as a simple buddhist monk but to do better he's a symbol of peaceful protest and the struggle for control independence in 2011 he announced that he would step down as the official leader of the tibetan community outside china but he continues to speak out on political issues. 70 years the various met that. quarter brainwash but mainly more lists. so now. there are some very nice more interlude to do or more of said the. open minded chinese who said the place the last. 70 years

to see is. not effective the dalai lama knows that china will never are now an independent event but he continues to demand that the all foreigners in beijing guarantee freedom of opinion and freedom of religion for the people of his homeland. i all is a. the chinese sort of power. is weapon. of strength or is it still. very. good it's more decisive. long run. it is a much more stronger than a ball but. it wasn't the dalai lama is concerned about who will succeed him as the

tibetan spiritual leader and that china may try to influence the process but just because he is opposed to beijing's policies in tibet he does not reject marxist philosophy out of hand. good waltz from germany. where in europe industry there's a ship. there's a war good for true or. do most exploitation so he stand for dare right. and then. per his economy today is equal distribution. dead bought by fully sort of but by or it be so into the. described by a surface it sort of a so sure to the skull sub 0 marxist.

back at the radio station tensing belden and her colleagues are preparing reports about the dalai lama's latest public appearance. as a respected international figure and nobel peace prize laureate he also plays a key role in brazing funds for the tibetan exile community. not just source of tibet i think many of the media not just news media all the. walking scene they have their own hugely dependent on. if it comes to getting its foreign aid from. our latest. nonprofit organization we saw that dependent on foreign funds so i think all of the need think about that to go once his otherness passes away it's going to be his

challenge for us. around lunchtime 10 sings friend $0.10 and do stops by the radio station for a visit he's a writer and independence activist helium tensing often debate the current situation in tibet. 10 soon will be satisfied with nothing less than full independence for tibetan on and admits that this could cause some problems for ethnic chinese who now live downtown and. other one issue and that new debates of course would have chinese also you know of course the. uneasier been living in tibet almost double the population of tibet and they've been there for a long time. so we have to find a reasonable time period to see once debate is free an independent. who are the ones who have to walk back to their own country and who may continue to

stay you have to offer a new tibet has tensing believes that this position goes too far this issue and many others divines the exile community tensing offers polite criticism of tenzin and other radical activists. there are some into the who when they talk about it. without looking at their intentions in a way when they make some remarks against against it and that is something that is not really taken there by the major lot so that's how the trip tension comes about . but tensing doesn't let political differences affect her personal relations she knows a lot of people in her neighborhood the tibetans in dharamsala don't mix very much with the city's indian residents.

10 sings extended family lives in houses that are next door to each other the family has been in india for 2 generations. they marry only other tibetans stenstrom son is now away at boarding school she hopes to pass along to him the traditions of her contre and religion. the tibetans are a minority we are for a nurse in the foreign land here and we have to protect our culture we have to protect our you know tradition and are there so in order to protect and sustain our culture family life is very important and always make sure that gets to know how it brought up. along with keeping the tradition alive. tensing lives with her mother who 76 years old she belongs to the 1st generation of tibetan exiles she's pleased that her daughter has made

a better life for herself in india. pirlo did i never learned to read all right i was my parents only child and i can't even write my own name. but here in india my daughter was able to get an education and i'm proud of that. work there were no opportunities like that in tibet when i was growing up. maybe it's different today but that's what it was like back then. dharamsala has become a tourist destination over the last few decades doing parts to it scenic location climate and thriving buddhist culture many of the tibetan residents work in the tourism industry. tensing grow up on the city's main street there are lots of souvenir shops here

parents used to own this one. today her sister in law works here the family used to make a good living with the shop but not anymore. this city has changed a lot these days business at the shops is down because too many of them sell the same goods and the restaurants have fewer customers. because of all the fast food shops. this is don't. you know why didn't the situation of the x. ounces complicated by the fact that the indian government hasn't made much of an effort to integrate them into society. especially with the legal documents that they have in india you know it's very hard to get a job in other than listen to that administration you know it's hard to get a job that they want. so most of most of the time the end of immigrating to the

vest or. is this here. tensing is nice tents in runs or start up company that sounds clothing and cosmetics. she has university degrees in both business administration and fashion marketing. she attended college in delhi but preferred to return to dharamsala after she completed her studies. in my class we have like 5 to bangalore so. it's always easier to stay if you don't need people we know so we have to talk to indians not that we don't want to tell to but then we have a little phrase why don't we find it more in what. he did to be we didn't use and then we also hate talking in english in so. because of that maybe a lot of people only just david our own community people know.

tens in already has 30000 followers on instagram she'd like to move to the us one day and set up a business there. actually the thing is i think there is a lot more opportunity when it comes to the rest it is letting us if you stay in year you have a normal life and then. but then he wanted to make a future plan was something i would spend any. money comes with a thing called the list committee i think it's all because of the way she stayed out there and their own the money gets. to him he owns. all the 90000 tibetan exiles live in india many of them are affiliated with the tibetan youth congress an international non-governmental organization that promotes tibet and independence. its members also take part in social welfare

activities that benefit the exile community. who. complained most of the tibetans who go to the west who go to. the go of america or europe or australia where they are going there just so that they could provide you know for their families but also their children and children to have a good education so that's why they're there and then once there are settled and. they're making enough money to give to deploy and we see a lot of debate is contributing to the society through contributed to the movement which is a positive side i kept. the organization can still call around several 1000 people for a tibetan independence rally in delhi but the crowds are getting smaller in the 1990 s. such demonstrations were big media events that often drew hollywood celebrities but today this movement is attracting less attention than it used to.

i. am. a reporter for radio free tibet is here to cover the demonstration but that's about the extent of the media presence. tensing pelton visits the station's office in delhi she and a reporter take a look at photographs from the rally. there were some clashes with police but otherwise they say that the event was a success. the 2 journalists walk through delhi's government district the exile community is grateful that they've been able to find refuge in india economic ties between india and china are gradually improving but political tensions remain and the presence of the tibetan exiles here is a sensitive topic for both countries. so for the time being it

appears that india will take no further steps to integrate its tibet and population . how can i say the indian government when the tibetans don't really have the right to citizenship of course the citizenship act of india has made some provisions it allows some tibetans from israeli citizenship but that also comes with a lot of conditions so these conditions make it very difficult for the tibetans to get this right. this evening a group of intellectuals and activists are meeting at the house of ten's in to do in dharamsala. most of these people have started abroad they're pleased that the administration of u.s. president donald trump is taking a tough stand on trade with china. but many fear that beijing will continue to spread its economic influence around the while not just as you will and that will be bad news for tibetan independence. today almost

150 countries are trading with china and they're benefiting from china's occupation of tibet and china's. violation of human rights and tibet which has resulted to more than $155.00 tibetans killing themselves self-immolation burning themselves. so these are dotted results of global trade everybody is involved in it and. what is benefiting from this. the tibetan exile community is divided about how best to achieve their goal of cultural and political independence. there's. i think the struggle has come to a level where there's a lot of stagnancy and nobody wants to listen to the other one and i feel that we have come to a stage where you know maybe if you could have afforded the kind of. in the kind of person attachment that you could have with your ideology. earlier but now is the

stage where do we have to find that common ground and find that unifying factor out . but all tibetan exiles agree that education is the key to preserving their traditions they've set up schools wherever they've settled like this one interim selar. the classes are taught by buddhist monks into baton and in english it is sensual for the children to learn to read and write. in china 40 percent of all tibetans are still illiterate and the number of those who speak to better is falling. here is even young children learn buddhist meditation techniques. the school is hosting a special event today tensing belden is running a bit late she's here to attend the annual recital sponsored by the tibetan

institute of performing arts. 1000 people have crowded into this. school auditorium to enjoy traditional music and dancing. many are overcome with emotion as the tibetan flag is carried on to the stage the flag was banned by the chinese government in 1959. but that the performance filled the audience with national pride and served as a reminder that the exiles main goal is independence for their homeland. a number of people here say that they still dream of returning to tibet.

on her way home tenzing poundland once again visits the temple complex. she prays that the dalai lama will have a long life so that he can continue to lead his people. yeah. yeah. it's. any successor to the dalai lama will be chosen according to the buddhist principle of reincarnation china says it has the right to choose that successor since it controls tibet but the current and i lama rejects that notion. is not his monks are practicing martial arts techniques they too hope that one day they'll be able to return to to bat. but china refuses to hold talks with the exiles and this policy will not likely change anytime soon. all those that care to know my
