The opening line of the domestic brief titled 'Tibetan leader dead' (# 179) was a total disaster. How can you call the passing of DW Dongtotsang an end of an era in the Tibetan history? It is definitely not the end of an era. The struggle goes on. It is a known fact that His Holiness the Dalai Lama was escorted by a contigent of Khampa resistance fighters, many of whose bravery is the stuff of legends. This article hurts the sentiments of all those living and the offspring of other heroes of Tibet, many of whom live a life of penury in Nepal and India.
