We Simply Adore INDIA

The government and the people of India welcomed us with open arms when we knocked at her door for sanctuary. India not only provided us refuge but also education to our children and helped us to stand on our feet. We have been living in India for the last six decades and in the process have accumulated a large number of debts to the government and people of India for their kind hospitality. If India had not granted us political asylum and wiped our tears, we would not have survived as we are surviving now. Words cannot express how grateful we are to the government and the people of India. India has provided us with all the necessary tools to safeguard our unique language, culture, history, and traditions and keep the spirit of Tibetan nationalism alive. No country has done as much as India has done for us. We rely on India like we rely on the sun. We have reasons to believe that India will stand by us like a rock and never let us down under the pressure of Beijing. We simply adore India. It is this message which we want to convey to the 1.35 billion people of India on the sixtieth year of our exile in India.
