This hour looks at modern day Tibet from a spiritual, political, and cultural perspective. To begin we learn more about Tibetan Buddhism, and the romantic appeal of the religion and the Tibetan people. Next we take a look at modern Tibetan culture and examine what parts are able to thrive and what parts are being subverted by Chinese influence. In the last part of the program we'll examine American foreign policy in Tibet and the role of activists in the diaspora community in India as well as the US.
