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.
The Indian government is reported to have announced that Tibetan refugees holding Indian passports can surrender them and revert to their refugee status. There will be no penalty incurred. Tibetans are reluctant to hold an Indian passport because it renders them ineligible for benefits and privileges handed out by the Tibetan Government-in-exile. People cannot hold a passport as well as an Identify Certificate (IC).
