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.
In a decisive message delivered to the 15th Tibetan Religious Conference, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama affirmed that the sacred institution of the Dalai Lama will continue. In a pre-recorded video, the spiritual leader declared that the recognition of his next reincarnation will be carried out exclusively by the Gaden Phodrang Trust, the spiritual office he established. With this announcement, His Holiness has laid to rest years of speculation and firmly placed the future of the Dalai Lama lineage in the hands of Tibetans, untainted by political interference.
