#OTD in 1989, the Dalai Lama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Re-upping my op-ed w/ Madhura Balasubramaniam, written on his 88th b'day this year, where we argue that in recognition of six decades of service to our land and our people, India must confer the #BharatRatna upon the #DalaiLama.

Excited to be part of a panel on #Tibetan Muslim Perspectives at the #Tibet Film Festival in Berlin today with filmmaker Omyer Lassu.
Will be discussing three powerful films: Valley of the Heroes (2013), Lhasa Kache (2017), Durmig (2021).

A big shoutout to the good folks at Rang De!
Had invested in two agripreneurs, both of whom have fully repaid their loans with interest.
Do consider supporting this initiative which provides "affordable credit to unbanked communities”.
