MUKESH SHARMA, Kalimpong, October 20: The India- Tibet Friendship Society, Kalimpong Branch carried out a rally from 10th Mile Fatak and ended at the Tharpa Choeling Monastery, today, commemorating China?s attack on India 50 years ago (Sino- Indian War). Many Tibetan Organizations mainly the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC), Women?s Association and different other Organizations partook in the rally protesting against China. Also present were the Buddhist monks and the students of Central School for Tibetan. Holding the portraits of Mahatma Gandhi and His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Indian and Tibetan flags, the participants shouted slogans against China. The President, of India- Tibet Friendship Society, PT Bhutia, Secretary, Sonam T Bhutia along with others were also present.

After the rally ended at the Tharpa Choeling Monastery, a meeting was held there, where the GTA Sabhasad, Samuel Gurung lighted the ceremonial lamp. One minute silence was also observed remembering and paying tribute to all the Tibetan martyrs who sacrificed their lives for Tibet and also to the Indian Army Jawans who died during the 1962 war.

President, PT Bhutia, in his address notified that the day is observed all over India as a ?black day?, today. Until now, the country India, has been resisting, but now time has come that people should be aware, he said and added that India do not share its boundary with China. It?s Tibet with whom China has boundary with, he informed. However, there are always talks of boundary infringement, this is happening because there is no unity between the political leaders. Thus, the people need to be united, said Bhutia.

The meeting ended with the National anthem.
