Tibetan Uprising Day 2024 and a Half-Forgotten Human Rights Disaster

Protesters on Tibetan Uprising Day at Pariser Platz. Berlin, March 10, 2024. Photograph by me (Edith Haimberger). All rights reserved.

"Tibetans inside Tibet: We are with you!"

— sign at Berlin protest on March 10, 2024

The red, yellow and blue colours of Tibet's flag flew across the Pariser Platz square behind Brandenburg Gate on Sunday as some 80 protesters gathered for Tibetan Uprising Day.

Reeducation camps for Uyghur Muslims in China, more rarely developments in Hong Kong, and controversies around the Dalai Lama who is the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, may dominate international news headlines.

But the plight of inhabitants in the Tibetan region that the protestors portrayed in signs, speeches, and information panels yesterday is no longer common knowledge.

A youngish man in jeans and a puffer jacket, who was walking across the square on Sunday, asked the police officer beside him who had mentioned Tibet, "Was ist das?" ('What is it?') The police officer, at least, knew the answer.

Miniature History In 1950 the Chinese People's Liberation Army invaded the remote region bordering Nepal. Ever since then, the autonomy or even the independence of Tibet has been hotly disputed, as well as the measures through which the ruling Chinese Communist Party governs the country. Tibetan Uprising Day marks the anniversary of a revolt in 1959.

'Many of us standing here today,' a speaker wearing traditional embroidered clothing told the crowd in Berlin, 'have never been in Tibet.'

Instead the protesters on Sunday were often exiles, many second-generation.

Their relatives in Tibet face systematic repression.

"Menschenrechte für Tibet" "Freiheit für Tibet"

— 'Human rights for Tibet' and 'Freedom for Tibet.' Signs at the Berlin protest on March 10, 2024.

The Berlin speakers accused the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of cultural genocide. Children as young as 5 years old are sent to residential boarding schools where they are educated as Chinese, while Tibetan language and culture are forbidden.

Monasteries and convents that were destroyed in the mid-20th century and only partly rebuilt in the 1980s remain vulnerable.

The Chinese government has been building massive hydroelectric dams in Tibet. Permission from Tibetans is not asked, a reporter from Tibet.tv said at the protest in Berlin. Instead, entire villages and monasteries, dating back even to the times where Europe was in the Middle Ages, are destroyed.

Local Tibetans who protest mega-dam projects are arrested and, at times, beaten.

A-Nya Sengdra, a nomad in Qinghai province, is in the middle of a 7-year prison sentence on charges like 'provoking trouble.' In a 2020 press release from the UN's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, experts say that he had been active for example against "illegal hunting and poaching of endangered animals."

As his prison sentence continues, friends are worried for his health.

Outside Tibet, in his Indian exile of Dharamshala, the Dalai Lama has also spoken enigmatically about his successor as spiritual leader. He is 88 years old. The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama has a spiritual dimension for Tibetan Buddhists, but the Chinese Communist Party — a secular body —wants the next Dalai Lama to be approved by them first.

But, also explaining why Tibet is seldom in news headlines, it is difficult to obtain information from within the region. Writing for the Human Rights Watch website in 2022, an expert spoke of

draconian controls on the flow of information between Tibet and the outside world *

The Heyday of International Awareness of Tibet In the 1980s and 90s and early 2000s, Tibet was a cause célèbre. Actress Sharon Stone and actor Richard Gere, who are Tibetan Buddhist, spoke out in favour of its independence. The Tibet-inspired American fantasy film The Golden Child (1986) earned $149.4 million at the box office. In 1997, two films followed: Kundun, directed by Martin Scorsese, and Seven Years in Tibet . When this reporter arrived in Germany in 2006, a string of Tibetan prayer flags crossed above a neighbourhood street. Tourists were drawn to Tibet — this has not changed: it is estimated that 15 million of them visited in 2015. But Tibet was not just famous in cultural spheres. In 1989, the Dalai Lama won the Nobel Prize for Peace.

*

Tenuous links exist between Tibetans in countries like Germany and Tibetans in the Tibetan Autonomous Region. But the CCP's surveillance extends beyond international borders. Telephone calls may be monitored, participation in protests by Tibetans in exile become a problem for relatives.

Young women at the Tibetan protest in Berlin, Germany, speak out against the Chinese Communist Party's gathering of DNA as part of a surveillance programme. Photograph taken by me (Edith Haimberger), on Sunday, March 10, 2024. All rights reserved.

Surveillance within Tibet is so severe that human rights organizations and activists reported in 2022 that the CCP are gathering DNA on a large scale — of hundreds of thousands of people, including schoolchildren — to track dissidents.

*

The Tibet Initiative Deutschland and the Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker, two non-governmental groups, co-organized the Berlin protest on March 10.

The Gesellschaft noted on their social media that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will travel to China in April.

In Tibetan communities in the country and abroad there are conflicting opinions on how to resist the Chinese Communist Party. Peacefully, through classic forms of protest? Through self-immolation?

"We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."

— Quoted during the March 10 protest. From Martin Luther King, Jr.: Letter from a Birmingham Jail (1963) [Wikiquote]

A speaker from the Tibet Initiative Deutschland described his group's campaign to persuade municipalities across Germany to raise the flag of Tibet over their town halls for Tibetan Uprising Day in solidarity. Over 400, he said, had agreed.

Efforts at the federal level by the German chancellor, foreign minister, and others on behalf of minorities' civil and political rights, however, are apparently often undermined by German corporations.

A representative of the Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker told the crowd in front of the German Foreign Ministry yesterday:

Corporations doing business within China — the German foreign ministry reports in its China-Strategie publication that there are 5,000 of these — lobby for silence, fearing financial losses.

Top Long-Distance Bike Routes from Manali to Surrounding Attractions

Manali is a picturesque hill station nestled in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh. Its stunning landscapes, cool weather, and adrenaline-pumping adventure activities make it a magnet for thrill-seeking travelers. One of the best ways to experience Manali is by getting a bike on rent in Manali and setting out on an epic long-distance ride.

If you're up for a challenging bike adventure, Manali offers routes leading to some incredible destinations. Here are my top picks for long-distance bike routes starting from Manali:

Manali to Leh

The Manali to Leh highway is every biker's ultimate bucket list route. Covering a staggering 490 km over high mountain passes, it takes you through some of the most jaw-dropping scenery in India. Crossing mountain passes like Rohtang La, Baralacha La, Lachulung La, Tanglang La, and the More Plains, a bike rental in Manali is the perfect way to conquer this route. Allow at least 5-6 days to complete the ride.

Manali to Spiti Valley

The route from Manali to Spiti Valley traverses rivers, valleys, monasteries, and remote mountain towns. Riding through the stunning Lahaul and Spiti districts of Himachal, this adventurous 390 km journey takes you over the dizzying Rohtang Pass. Key stops along the way include Batal, Chandratal Lake, Losar, and Kaza. You'll need 4-5 days minimum for this route.

Manali to Kaza via Kunzum Pass

For an alternate route to Spiti Valley, take the road from Manali to Kaza via the sacred Kunzum Pass. This challenging route passes through the Chandra and Bhaga river valleys before climbing up to Kunzum Pass (4,551m). Beyond lies the amazing moonscapes of Spiti. Camping overnight by Chandratal Lake is a highlight. Expect at least 5-6 days for this long-distance ride.

Manali to Khardung La via Leh

Extreme bikers can ride all the way from Manali to Khardung La, claimed to be the world's highest motorable pass. This requires first covering the Manali to Leh highway before continuing onwards to Nubra Valley. The total distance is around 650 crazy kilometers! Crossing both Rohtang La and Khardung La passes is not for the faint-hearted. Plan for 8-10 days minimum to complete the route.

Manali to Dharamshala

Looking for a slightly shorter long-distance route? Ride from Manali to Dharamshala, covering 240 km over 2 high-altitude passes. Pass by the scenic Bhuntar and Kangra Valley along the way before reaching the residence of the Dalai Lama in Mcleodganj. This ride can be completed in 3-4 days.

No matter which epic route you choose, come prepared for the challenging terrain. Get your bike rental in Manali from a reputed agency that provides well-serviced, high-quality bikes suited for long distances. Carry basic toolkits and spares, and essentials like spare fuel and engine oil. Pack adequately warm and waterproof clothing. And finally, don't forget to securely attach your luggage to the bike.

Conclusion

Long-distance biking around Manali is an experience like no other and this experience becomes much better when you get a bike on rent in Manali too. Witnessing the breathtaking landscape while conquering those high mountain passes will create lifelong memories. Let the thrill of the ride motivate you through the tough spots. Just ride safe, stop when tired, and enjoy the magical journey! Have you taken any of these iconic Manali bike routes?
