In the realm of geopolitics and international relations, the Tibet-China dispute remains a focal point, particularly regarding the Dalai Lama's role and influence. Puran Chettri's article titled "The Dalai Lama’s Trip to the US is to Prepare for the Transfer of Assets and the Recognition of the 15th Dalai Lama" which was published on Storify (website) is a deeply misleading piece, laced with speculative claims, and unsubstantiated narratives. This article aims to reveal Mr. Chettri’s misleading assertions, expose the underlying propaganda, and highlight how such writings serve to undermine Tibetan-Indian relations while aligning suspiciously with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda.
Shaksgam shows the limits of that progress. It proves that even when one corner of the relationship is being cooled, another is being heated sometimes deliberately, sometimes opportunistically, always with the same outcome: India is kept reacting, never simply building.
For ordinary Indians, this isn’t about abstract mistrust. It is about the soldier who stands through a Ladakh night where the wind can kill. It is about families who still carry 2020 in their bones. It is about Ladakhi communities watching maps and roads and “corridors” tighten around them. It is about the quiet fear that the next “incident” will again arrive after a round of talks that promised calm.
