10th March is observed as Tibetan National Uprising Day which commemorates the 1959 Tibetan uprising against the presence of the People’s Republic of China in Tibet. It was the day when Chinese government entered and captured the capital of Tibet, Lhasa and the flight of the His Holiness The Dalai Lama into exile.
After 1959, every year thousands of Tibetan people and their supporters all around the world gather together to the street to mark the anniversary of Tibetan National Uprising Day and also to show that Tibet is not a part of China.
This year our school staff along with the people residing at Bir and Chauntra assembled together at Sughbagh ground and had the main function there. After that a function and a peace march were held at Palampur to bring awareness in India and the world at large that ‘Tibet is not a part of China.’
