[email protected] Publisher’s Note Tibetan Parliamentary & Policy Research Centre is happy to bring out the compilation of debates, discussion and questions on Tibet or issues related to Tibet in both the houses of Indian Parliament in two volumes. Through this publication, I wish to thank on behalf of the Tibetan people, the People and Government of India for their consistent sympathy, support and hospitality extended to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Refugees over the last 46 years and the hope that this will continue till we return to Tibet. Few exceptions are unavoidable. We also remain ever grateful to all the Indian Policy makers for keeping the Tibetan issue alive, which also serves India’s National Interest. We look forward to their continued support. We hope this publication will come handy to researchers as well as activists as a ready reference. We have tried our best over the last two years to compile all available materials. However there may be oversight, for which we are totally responsible and we seek your valuable input to enable us to add and improve in our future publications. We have tried to be as diligent and correct as possible to transcribe from the original sources. I wish to thank the Library of the Indian Parliament and the Nehru Memorial Library for giving us access to the materials.
