Tibetan exiles gathered at the Tibetan Children’s’ Village Day school in McLeod Ganj, Dharamshala to commemorate the “Tibet-China Peace Treaty of 821-822 AD – secure the past, shape the future”. The organisers, Students for a Free Tibet, chose this day to mark 101 years since the proclamation of Tibetan independence by the thirteenth Dalai Lama. A replica of the stone pillar with the engraving of the Treaty which still stands in front of the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa was put on display for public viewing.
