What's next for Tibet?

What's next for Tibet? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with the Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government in Exile, Professor Samdhong Rinpoche, and two activists for Tibetan sovereignty. Since fleeing from Tibet in 1959, the Dalai Lama has advocated for a nonviolent relationship with China. But some Tibetans feel this might not be an effective approach. How does an exiled diaspora resist a totalitarian government? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What's in store for the future of Tibet? It's Your Call, with Sandip Roy, and you.

Guests:
Professor Samdhong Rinpoche, Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government in Exile

Canyon Sam, Chinese-American activist and author of Sky Train: Tibetan Women on the Edge of History

Kunsang Kelden, a Tibetan living in exile, and former board member for Students for a Free Tibet.
