Election proceedings for panchayat polls put off
Uttarakhand State Election Commissioner Sushil Kumar has indefinitely postponed all election proceedings, including nominations for the proposed three-tier panchayat elections. The decision follows an order of the Uttarakhand High Court issued on Monday. In the case of 'Ganesh Dutt Kandpal vs the State of Uttarakhand', the court ruled that 'due to the promulgation of reservation rules for panchayat elections not being notified, reservation determination and the entire proceedings related to it are postponed till further orders'. The nominations were originally scheduled to be held from Wednesday to Saturday.

"China Has Nothing To Do With The Institution Of Dalai Lama": Pema Khandu
Dharamshala (Himachal Pradesh): In a pointed remark aimed at China, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu emphasised the distinct identity of the Dalai Lama's institution, Gaden Phodrang Trust, saying that "China has nothing to do with the institution", it is rooted in Tibet and revered by the people of the Himalayan belt. Arunachal Pradesh CM is in Dharamshala, attending the Dalai Lama's birthday eve celebrations Speaking to ANI, "China doesn't have a field to comment on His Holiness' institution, because obviously I believe that Buddhism is there in China, but the Dalai Lama institution is not there, that is in Tibet, and all the residents of the Himalayan belt recognise it." He further emphasised that China's connection to the Dalai Lama's institution is non-existent, stating, "China has nothing to do with the institution of the Dalai Lama, because it was not there in China. It is near Tibet and its people, and the people who follow it in the Himalayan belt, it is theirs." During the event, Mr Khandu expressed his honor in being part of the historic occasion, saying, "It is an honour for us to celebrate the 90th birthday (of the Dalai Lama), and I came here to represent especially my people of Arunachal Pradesh, to be in this historic process." Earlier, the 14th Dalai Lama shared a birthday message on X, expressing his appreciation for the celebrations being held in his honour by urging people to focus on cultivating compassion and peace of mind. In a post on X, the Dalai Lama wrote, "On the occasion of my 90th birthday, I understand that well-wishers and friends in many places, including Tibetan communities, are gathering for celebrations. I particularly appreciate the fact that many of you are using the occasion to engage in initiatives that highlight the importance of compassion, warm-heartedness, and altruism." 90th Birthday Message On the occasion of my 90th birthday, I understand that well-wishers and friends in many places, including Tibetan communities, are gathering for celebrations. I particularly appreciate the fact that many of you are using the occasion to engage in… — Dalai Lama (@DalaiLama) July 5, 2025 He humbly referred to himself as "just a simple Buddhist monk" and noted that he doesn't normally engage in birthday celebrations. However, he wished to share some thoughts on the occasion. "While it is important to work for material development, it is vital to focus on achieving peace of mind through cultivating a good heart and by being compassionate, not just toward near and dear ones, but toward everyone. Through this, you will contribute to making the world a better place," the Tibetan leader affirmed. Celebrations are underway in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, ahead of the 90th birthday of the Tibetan spiritual leader, the 14th Dalai Lama. According to the Gregorian calendar, the Dalai Lama's birthday is officially observed on July 6. The occasion is being marked with festive spirit and devotion by Tibetan communities and followers across the region. On July 2, the Dalai Lama stated that the Gaden Phodrang Trust, a foundation established by him, can only recognise future reincarnations, and no one else has the authority to decide on the matter. This statement rules out any say for China in the process of naming the next Dalai Lama.

Dalai Lama at 90: A life of faith and resistance
On July 6, the 14th Dalai Lama—Tenzin Gyatso—turns 90. But this is no ordinary birthday. It marks nine decades of a spiritual journey intertwined with one of the world's most enduring political struggles: Tibet's fight for autonomy. Born Lhamo Thondup in 1935, he was recognised as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama at the tender age of two. He was formally enthroned by age five. By the time he was 15, the Dalai became the spiritual and political leader of the peaceful Himalayan country. However, the winds of change in China were about to cause a major upheaval in Tibet. Even though Tibet enjoyed a 'de facto' independent period in the early 1900s, the Republicans and the Communists retained a claim over Tibet being part of China. When the Communists came to power with Mao Zedong's leadership in 1949, the regime sought to secure the formal 'reunification' of Tibet with China. After Tibet refused to do so, the Chinese invaded Tibet's eastern province in October 1950. They secured a 17-point 'Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet' in 1951. But tensions simmered. By 1959, Tibetans rose up in Lhasa. The uprising was crushed. Fearing for his life, the Dalai Lama fled across the Himalayas into India, along with 80,000 followers. Since then, Dharamshala has been the home to the Dalai, and the Tibetan government-in-exile. The Dalai Lama advocated for the Tibetan cause internationally. He sought, though unsuccessfully, to get the United Nations to intervene in Tibet. He travelled the world, met politicians and presented various proposals to get a 'just solution' for his country and people. His representatives also held talks with Chinese authorities on several occasions to find a solution. After years of unrest in Tibet, Beijing intensified its political control and repressive measures in the region. China unleashed a new wave of economic modernisation, tourism and construction in Tibet. This enriched the rising middle class but also allowed the non-Tibetan population to increase in the region. Over the years, the Dalai Lama modified his demands and sought 'genuine autonomy for all Tibetans living in the three traditional provinces of Tibet within the framework of the People's Republic of China.' For his efforts, the 14th Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. In 2011, he decided to separate the political leadership of the Tibetan movement from the spiritual one. The current government in exile is modelled on an elected parliamentary system with judicial, legislative and executive branches. It primarily attends to the welfare of the Tibetan exile community in India. Even as the world celebrates his birthday, a question looms ahead: what happens after him? He had previously hinted at the possibility of ending the tradition of reincarnation or selecting a successor from outside Tibet. More recently, he asserted that the succession plan will be decided by a trust, not the Chinese government. The statement sparked a response from Beijing, which has said any succession must be 'approved' by the Central Government. As the Dalai Lama turns 90, the struggle for his people's identity, faith, and political voice is far from over. In exile, he remains the heart of a movement, grounded in compassion but shaped by decades of resistance. Credits: Presentation: Sharmada Venkatasubramanian Camera: Johan Sathya Das Script: V.

'I'm a Simple Buddhist monk': Dalai Lama marks landmark 90th birthday
TIBET: Calling himself a "simple Buddhist monk" who usually didn't celebrate birthdays, the Dalai Lama marked his 90th on Sunday by praying for peace after China insisted it would have final say on who succeeded the Tibetan spiritual leader. Chanting of red-robed monks and nuns rang out from Himalayan hilltop forested temples in India, home to the Dalai Lama since he and thousands of other Tibetans fled Chinese troops who crushed an uprising in their capital Lhasa in 1959. "I am just a simple Buddhist monk; I don't normally engage in birthday celebrations," the Dalai Lama said in a message, thanking those marking it with him for using the opportunity "to cultivate peace of mind and compassion". Dressed in traditional robes and a flowing yellow wrap, walking with the aid of two monks while flashing his trademark beaming smile to thousands of followers, he watched dramatic dance troupes with clanging cymbals and bagpipes before the start of prayers. Beijing condemns the Nobel Peace Prize winner -- who has led a lifelong campaign for greater autonomy for Tibet, a vast high-altitude plateau -- as a rebel and separatist. Alongside the celebrations, however, is the worry for Tibetans in exile that China will name its successor to bolster control over the territory it poured troops into in 1950 and has ruled ever since. That raises the likelihood of rival challengers to the post; one by self-declared atheist Beijing, the other by the Dalai Lama's office based in neighbouring India, a regional rival of China.
