CTA’s China Dialogue Push Unwise at This Stage, Says Veteran Indian Journalist and Tibetologist Vijay Kranti
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. The volume brings together a series of essays developed from presentations by leading communicators and experts delivered during nearly 30 international webinars on key Tibet–China issues held between 2020 and 2023, organised by Kranti in collaboration with the Tibetan Youth Congress. 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.
