On India’s Independence Day, Tibetan Children’s Village School Gopalpur organized a function in the school. The Indian national flag was hoisted before the school hall to mark the day. This is the day for all the Tibetans to express our gratitude to the people and the Government of India for having given us political asylum and for their economic, social and moral support when we Tibetans are passing through the darkest period in our history. Mahatma Gandhi’s freedom struggle against the colonial power has been an inspiration for Tibetans and following his foot step in achieving our freedom from one of the super powers of the world today.
