Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Around 6,000 Tibetan soldiers who saw active service in the Special Frontier Force, an Indian paramilitary group which fought for the Indian army from 1963, will get their pension from the Indian government. This welcome new ruling follows lengthy campaigns and negotiations. Veterans who have waited for years are hoping that their pensions will now be paid and alleviate the poverty which has afflicted many Tibetan ex servicemen.
