In this thought-provoking conversation, Yeshi Dawa, Senior Researcher at the 108 Peace Institute, joins Arun Anand, author and columnist known for his extensive writings on China and Tibet, to unpack one of the most pressing issues in the Tibetan freedom struggle – the succession of the Dalai Lama.
We explore:
Why the Dalai Lama’s role is central to Tibetan Buddhism and identity
How China is trying to control the next Dalai Lama’s selection and “legitimize” its choice
The stance of Tibetan spiritual and political leadership on China’s claim
The global community’s reaction and any diplomatic steps being taken
The cultural, religious, and political consequences if China installs its own Dalai Lama
This deep-dive offers rare insights into how Beijing’s strategy could reshape Tibet’s future – and why the world should be paying attention.
