Dear Prospective Kalon Tripa?

Election is coming and soon Tibetans in exile will have one of you as their next Kalon Tripa. Your assumption of the position is unique and critical as Tibetan cause will enter  new era of uncertainty and renewed  challenges. You will face not only the challenge of dealing with our adversary to resolve the Tibetan cause but also delivering to those challenges . History will judge and the voters who have bestowed faith and confidence in you will measure your ability to tackle the issues based on your commitment and audacity to confront these challenges. No doubt, the challenges are daunting but voters will expect at least a sincere effort.

During the course of your campaign, you were asked many questions as to how you will deal with various issues confronting our diaspora and you have made sincere effort to answer these issues if you are elected as the next Kalon Tripa. It is also true and expected that no one has Crystal ball to tackle our situation in a concrete way and you have manifest that during your campaign stops.

Now the question is two fold:

Confronting our adversary whether in direct talk or otherwise will continue to be a difficult and daunting task because they will continue to be not trustworthy and sincere. Therefore no matter how much effort and concession we make, there will be not much headway.

However, there can be one issue where you can make sincere effort and  say with conviction that is what can be done to address the education needs of Tibetan children and certainty of employment to those who have graduated from the colleges and Universities. Nation can also prosper only if its citizens and nationals are educated. Our exile government has done a lot in this front but now it is an opportunity for the next Kalon Tripa to give an assurance to our youth that education is key to our nation and that exile government will double their effort that no child is left uneducated and no youth remained unemployed. This is not a wishful thinking but a real opportunity for next Kalon Tripa to bring about real and meaningful change in the life of our youth. It is only education that can confront our adversary in a short and long term. Any takers?
