Tibetan poet Tenzin Tsundue addressing faculty and students of English department of Carmel College in Nuvem.
PANAJIDepartment of English, Carmel College of Arts, Science and Commerce for Women at Nuvem, organised a guest lecture delivered by the popular activist and Tibetan poet Tenzin Tsundue on September 26 in the college auditorium. Over a hundred students who attended the talk were enthralled at the inspirational lecture delivered by Tsundue, who spoke about his refugee identity, his activist- patriotism and recited some of his celebrated poems from his collection "Kora" which has sold more than 50,000 copies all over the globe and has run into its fourteenth edition. Tenzin Tsundue outlined the three steps needed to inspire writers to write: keen observation, a different perspective and articulation. His powerful poems reflected his Buddhist ethos, his Tibetanism and his endless search for an identity as an Indo-Tibetan refugee operating from Dharamshala, HP. He spoke about his exile, his experience in the prisons, life as a refugee without any citizenship and his dream of a liberated Tibet from the shackles of Chinese oppression.
