Fast for Losar

March 2, 2014;

Tenpa Dhargyal, a Tibetan student, has started a 72 hour fast to mark Losar, the Tibetan New Year. Tenpa is fasting in front of the Martyrs Pillar in the Tsuglakhang temple in McLeod Ganj. “We can’t forget the brave actions of our martyrs and thousands of Tibetans who continue to fight against the repression in Tibet,” said Tenpa, who is a student at the Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, Sarah. Since the 2008 pan-Tibet protests against Chinese government, Tibetan exiles have muted celebrations of Losar.
