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?

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS? Islam BOOMS Globally as Millions in the West ABANDON Church And Faith

Between 2010 and 2020, the world’s population grew—and so did most major religious groups. Christianity remains the largest religion at 2.3 billion, but its global share fell to 28.8% as more people left the faith, especially in Western nations. Islam experienced the fastest growth, adding 347 million to reach 2 billion globally, fueled by high fertility rates and youthful populations. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated rose to 24.2%, driven by secular trends in countries like China, the U.S., and Japan. Demographic shifts suggest Islam could match Christianity by mid-century. #GlobalFaith #Christianity #Islam #ReligionTrends #ReligiousGrowth #FaithShift #ReligionReport #WorldDemographics #ChristianDecline #IslamRise #ReligiousChange #Unaffiliated #SecularTrends #SubSaharanAfrica #FertilityRates #YouthPopulation #ReligiousSwitching #WesternSecularism #ReligionStats #GlobalPopulation #ReligionIn2020 #Buddhism #Hinduism #Judaism #FaithStats #MidCenturyProjections #ReligionMatters #WorldReligionReport #ReligiousFuture #GlobalReligion #ReligiousLandscape Also Read Authorities Launch Probe into Allegations of Sikh Conversions to Christianity in Pilibhit :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/probe-into-allegations-of-sikh-conversions-in-pilibhit-011-4156455.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~

Elon Musk Steps Down From DOGE Role But Vows To ‘Advise’ Trump, Eyes Trillion-Dollar Reform Legacy

Elon Musk has officially stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) but vowed to continue advising U.S. President Donald Trump. Musk, wearing a “Dogefather” T-shirt, promised the project will thrive beyond his tenure and reduce a trillion dollars in government waste. He will now refocus on Tesla, SpaceX, and X but remains Trump’s “friend and adviser.” Trump praised Musk’s historic reform work and said he’s “really not leaving.” Despite scaling back political donations, Musk hinted DOGE is just beginning—calling it “a way of life, like Buddhism.” #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #DOGE #GovernmentReform #WhiteHouse #Tesla #SpaceX #X #TrillionDollarPlan #WasteReduction #MuskTrump #OvalOffice #PoliticalNews #USPolitics #MuskResigns #DOGEFuture #TheDogefather #ElonStepsDown #FederalEfficiency #GovernmentNews
