Freedom & Struggle in Exile.
Young Tibetans are more radical and determined than the previous generation and are writing a new chapter in the history of freedom for Tibet. In Dharamsala, the seat of the Dalai Lama's government in exile in India, we see the new "trendy" activists who are fans of both rock music and Tibetan opera, who surf on the Web, and stage regular demonstrations in protest against the violence of the Chinese forces occupying the country, defending the identity and culture which China has been stifling and attempting to eradicate over the last fifty years. Some were born in exile to refugee parents, others have arrived recently from their occupied country, secretly crossing the Himalayas. These new members of the resistance movement have sworn that they will continue their struggle for freedom to be restored to Tibet and the people of Tibet - soon.
