Veteran Indian journalist, long-time Tibet supporter and Tibetologist Vijay Kranti launched his new book, “China’s Colonial Games in Tibet,” in Dharamshala on Friday.

Kranti said the endeavour behind the book was to present, in a single volume, a comprehensive narrative of the major colonial challenges and issues that the Tibetan people continue to face under China’s rule.
