Dalai Lama issue: India can’t be compliant to China or seen as insensitive to Tibetans, says Robert Barnett

Dalai Lama at 90: China’s Challenge and the Future of Tibetan Leadership

As the Dalai Lama turns 90, he declares his successor will not be born in China—defying Beijing’s succession claims. China, which once called Tibetan Buddhism “poison,” insists it will approve any reincarnation. India backs the Tibetan leader, with PM Modi and Minister Kiren Rijiju supporting religious autonomy. The threat of two Dalai Lamas—one genuine, one Chinese-appointed—echoes the Panchen Lama crisis. With global attention rising, the future of Tibetan Buddhism hinges on protecting its sacred, sovereign traditions. #DalaiLama90 #Tibet #ChinaTibet #ReligiousFreedom #TibetanBuddhism #PanchenLama #DalaiLamaSuccession #IndiaSupportsTibet #BeijingVsDharamshala #ModiOnTibet #TibetanRights #GlobalFaith #FreeTibet #SpiritualLeadership #CommunistChina #CulturalHeritage #KirenRijiju #TibetUnderThreat #ChinaInterference #SacredTraditions #TibetanStruggle #AsiaGeopolitics #TwoDalaiLamas #ReincarnationBattle #DalaiLamaStatement Also Read Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?
