(TibetanReview.net, Feb15’23) – There is no Independence Day in the official annual calendar of the exile Tibetan administration, which may partly be because Tibet is still under Chinese occupation rule. However, as before, two of the main Tibetan or Tibet campaign organizations marked the 110th anniversary of Tibetan Independence Day of Feb 13 in Dharamshala and Delhi. As a part of the grand celebrations, Tibetans performed songs and dances, which demonstrated the Tibetan culture and aspiration for independence, reported the ibtimes.co.in Feb 12. The protesters carried banners “China Fails Human Rights”, “Tibet is Not Part of China”, “Free Tibet China Out” and many more, reported the ANI news service Feb 13. The day marks the issuance of a proclamation of Tibet’s independence on Feb 13, 1913 by the 13th Dalai Lama.
