A time will come soon when the conservative Tibetan society will break out of its traditional shackles and accept such shows with open arms.

These Tibetan refugee girls are both from India and from overseas. The beauty pageant will take place in the first week of October.

I have picked a Chinese film at a Tibetan film festival purely for the breathtaking special effects and not for any political reason.

For the first time perhaps since Margaret Thatcher, we will have at the head of the Conservative Party someone who is genuinely an equal match for Tony Blair.
