The rallyists met Hunsur MLA G D Harish Gowda on their arrival in Mysuru on Monday.
This rally spanning 15,000 kilometres, covered across more than 20 States in India. Throughout the rally, participants engaged with members of Parliament, members of the
Legislative Assembly, Tibet support groups and news media, while also raising
awareness among the Indian populace about the critical issues facing Tibet.
The primary objective of this rally was to expose the atrocities committed by the
Chinese Communist Regime in Tibet and to oppose its illegitimate rule, which
has persisted for over six decades.
“We aim to draw urgent international attention to the ongoing cultural genocide in Tibet, where China is implementing hard-line policies designed to systematically eradicate Tibetan culture and identity. These policies include the forced enrolment of Tibetan children into colonial-style boarding schools, restricting access to educational activities related to Tibetan culture, and imprisoning teachers and individuals who strive to preserve the Tibetan language”, the press release stated.
Additionally, the forced closure of Tibetan
schools and monastic institutions poses a significant threat to the preservation
of Tibetan culture, language, and spiritual heritage. This blatant violation of
rights and freedoms serves as a stark reminder of the Chinese government’s
relentless efforts to suppress Tibetan identity. Therefore, we call upon the Indian government, along with the international community and non- governmental organisations, to raise their voices in demanding that China put an end to this cultural genocide in Tibet.
For thousands of years, Tibet existed as an independent country, maintaining
harmonious relationships with its neighbours through cultural and civilizational exchanges. However, following the unfortunate occupation of Tibet by the People’s Republic of China in 1959, the historically peaceful Indo-Tibet border was shattered. Driven by its expansionist policies, the Chinese Communist
Regime has instigated infiltration into Indian territory, posing a direct threat to
India’s border security and sovereignty. The developmental projects undertaken
by China in the border regions exacerbate this threat. Therefore, we urge the Indian government to remain vigilant and cautious regarding China’s strategic development initiatives, as they may have far-reaching implications for regional security and stability. As we assert, “Tibet’s Independence is India’s Security.”
We call on the Indian government to adopt a resolution that supports the historical independent status of Tibet and recognises the historical Indo-Tibet border. In recent years, the Chinese communist government has intensified the exploitation of Tibet’s rich mineral resources under the guise of dvelopmental projects, endangering the environment of the Tibetan Plateau and threatening the survival of historically significant sites and monasteries. The damming projects on the Drichu River and other rivers in Tibet will have devastating
implications for the livelihoods of Tibetans and downstream countries. The massive damming initiatives and nuclear production, combined with the dumping of nuclear waste and reckless development policies, are wreaking havoc on Tibet’s environment, subsequently contributing to ecological
imbalance worldwide.
We urge attention from downstream countries regarding these developments on the Tibetan Plateau and call for action to curtail China’s
reckless activities in Tibet. Throughout this bike rally, we will be visiting Tibetan winter markets across India to promote awareness about the ongoing cultural genocide perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Regime in Tibet, as well as to emphasize the importance of unity against China.
Aims and Objectives:
1. We call upon the international community to exert pressure on China to cease its unlawful and ongoing actions aimed at erasing Tibetan culture, and to respect the rights of the Tibetan people to preserve the cultural heritage.
2. Thank the government and people of India for their solidarity, and advocate for the Indian government to adopt a resolution supporting the historical independent status of Tibet to ensure a long term security for India.
3. We urge the international community to protect Tibet’s environment and pressure China to halt its exploitation of Tibet’s natural
resources, which is causing global ecological imbalance.
