Tibetan Independence day was marked with a “Majestic Walk” event organised by Students for a Free Tibet, with activists showcasing Tibetan culture on the streets of McLeod Ganj. Feb 13 is the anniversary of the declaration of Tibetan independence by HH the 13th Dalai Lama in Simla in 1913, to highlight the Tibetan Cultural Resistance. In Tibet, all events marking this day are banned by the Chinese authorities.
