The people of the Samyeling Tibetan Colony (Majnu Ka Tilla) in Delhi have decided to observe every Wednesday as “Vegetarian Day” for a year. The decision comes as a mark of respect, and to acknowledge the kindness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the Tibetan people, and the practice will run until His Holiness’s birthday next year. The Indians and Nepalese living in the colony have welcomed the idea.
