Dalai Lama meets Indian guard from 1959 flight from Tibet

The Tibetan profound pioneer, 81, met Naren Chandra Das, 79, as he visited upper east India.

"Taking a gander at your face, I now acknowledge I should be extremely old as well," he said.

Troops had not been permitted to converse with the Tibetan profound pioneer. "Our obligation was just to monitor and escort him amid his voyage," he said.

The Dalai Lama said thanks to the previous trooper, saying he was, "exceptionally glad" to meet some portion of the group that escorted him to security inside India.

After his escape, he stayed quickly at the Tawang religious community, before settling in Dharamsala, in the north of the nation, which is currently home to the Tibetan government in a state of banishment. Bulk whatsapp sms service provider

In the not so distant future he will visit the religious community to convey lessons.

His visit has incensed China, which keeps up that Arunachal Pradesh is a piece of its region.

As India Considers Action For Wrong Maps, Pak Objects - And Is Told Off

With India considering a proposal that would punish publishers or creators of maps that distort Kashmir with a stiff fine and time in prison, Pakistan has complained to the United Nations -triggering a brusque response from Delhi.

"Pakistan or any other party has no locus standi in our internal legislative matter," said a statement from the Foreign Ministry.

Earlier, Nafees Zakaria, a spokesperson for Pakistan's Foreign Office said India was trying to propagate an "incorrect and legally untenable" map, in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

A letter sent to the UN by Pakistan urged India "to stop acts that are in violation of international law".

As reported first by NDTV a few weeks ago, the Home Ministry has sought feedback on a plan that makes it essential for anyone offering maps online to get a license from the government. Services like Google Maps gather information from satellites and crowd-sourced data. These could become illegal without sanction.   

The proposal also offers a prison term of up to seven years and a fine of Rs. 100 crore for anyone who publishes an incorrect map of  India's borders, including in Kashmir. India has in the past acted against media companies who showed inaccurate maps, but if it becomes law, the bill would impose specific penalties for the first time.

Last year, the government took the Al Jazeera news channel off air for nearly a week, saying it had repeatedly shown incorrect maps of Kashmir.

In 2011, The Economist placed white stickers over a diagram of borders in 28,000 copies on sale in India.

The government's new proposal could be submitted for review to parliament when it meets next in July.
