What is Lhakar? How did Lhakar Diaries Begin?
The following is a short interview I did with Phayul Media, the popular Tibetan news platform based in Dharamsala, India, in the summer of 2022 (they published it a year later in 2023).
Here are a list of questions they asked for this less than 10mins interview:
- How did the Lhakar movement become a medium for dissidence inside Tibet?
- Why do you think this movement struck a cord with Tibetans in exile?
- Is a movement like Lhakar seemingly a milder medium and are they likely to become an alternative in the times to come?
- What role does Lhakar Diaries play against the larger backdrop of the Lhakar movement?
