Seems somehow Tibetans in Tibet still have higher fertility than Tibetans in exile (and still a bit above replacement of 2.1) , and the newborns would sure to receive brainwashing from CCP.

And combined with literally no one immigrating due to China's border control, the share of exile would even become lower, which makes the future even darker.

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lobga, also known as Lobga Rangzen, following his self-immolation at the UN headquarters in New York on Thursday evening. Lobga was a tireless advocate for Tibet who devoted himself to peacefully raising awareness of the human rights crisis in Tibet, and he will be remembered for his unwavering commitment to justice and the Tibetan cause. Lobga’s passing is one day after the implementation of China’s new so-called Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress Law.

“In his final statement, which he posted on his Facebook account, Lobga warned that China’s policies threaten the very survival of Tibetan identity, language, and culture, and called on all Tibetans to be united in their fight for the cause of the Tibetan struggle. While we mourn this tragic loss, it is imperative that the international community heed the message behind his profound despair by addressing the worsening human rights situation in Tibet and holding the Chinese government accountable for its policies of repression and forced assimilation.”

He was live-streaming everything on his facebook account and has a pre-recorded video explaining why. May he rest in power 🙏🙏

I'm just curious about what the environment, daily life, and food are like.

When Tibetans first fled their Chinese invaders, most of them crossed into India and were resettled in different locations. This documents the early settlement in Mundgod, south India, which is now home to Drepung Monastery, Ganden Monastery, other monasteries and nunneries, schools, and remaining resident Tibetans.

My colleague and I are in the final stages of publishing a Tibetan language learning textbook, and we're trying to fill in a few remaining authentic images to support our learning activities.

We are currently in need of some simple signs written in Tibetan for beginning learners who are learning to read the alphabet (for example, road signs, restaurant or café signs, storefront signs). We have been given a few pictures but they are blurry and/or have Chinese writing that is more prominent than the actual Tibetan script (like the picture attached to this post).

If you are in Tibet and can send us a photo (or if you already have a photo) that you'd be willing to let us publish in the textbook, we would be incredibly grateful and we would happily credit your contribution in the photo credits section of the book.

If you're interested in helping, please reply here or send me a DM and I can provide you more information about our project!
