  • Destination Image for Pilgrimage and Tourism: a Study in Mount Kailash Region of Tibet
    FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA • ISSN 1336-6157 (hard copy) • ISSN 2454-1001 (online) DESTINATION IMAGE FOR PILGRIMAGE AND TOURISM: A STUDY IN MOUNT KAILASH REGION OF TIBET Premangshu CHAKRABARTY A*, Sanjoy Kumar SADHUKHAN B Received: April 28, 2020 | Revised: September 15, 2020 | Accepted: October 12, 2020 Paper No. 20-62/2-567 Abstract The study focuses on rituals performed during Kailash - Manasarover pilgrimage while investigating travel motivation aspects and the satisfaction level of visitors. Circumambulation of Mount Kailash and bathing in sacred Manasarover Lake of western Tibet are popular pilgrimage tourism rituals for which journeys are made annually despite of terrain hardship and adverse climatic condition. We have used ethnographic methods in collection of field data that include personal interviews, focus group discussions, questionnaire surveys and online surveys. One of the objectives of the study is to address the research gap on the role of destination image that motivates the devotees of different religious background to undertake such pilgrimage. We also pay attention on attributes that influence the selection of the individual pilgrimage routes initiated from Indian territory. The method adopted for analysis is qualitative involving software support for mapping. The discussion reveals the evolution of a distinctive cultural landscape that encourages pluralism with reference to a sustainable mechanism of coexistence for the pilgrimage tourism development. Key words Circumambulation, sacred, ritual, pilgrim tourists, route, landscape, pluralism. INTRODUCTION Pilgrimage is a process of establishing a rapport with the sacred geography by sending the message of the landscape that has been imbedded in the myths, leg- ends and tales. In shaping the pilgrimage experience, the myths have important part (Sopher, 1987).

  • 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Xinjiang are appended at the end of this report. The constitution, which cites the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, states that citizens have freedom of religious belief but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” and does not define “normal.” Despite Chairman Xi Jinping’s decree that all members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be “unyielding Marxist atheists,” the government continued to exercise control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents that it perceived as threatening state or CCP interests, according to religious groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international media reports. The government recognizes five official religions – Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. Only religious groups belonging to the five state- sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” representing these religions are permitted to register with the government and officially permitted to hold worship services. There continued to be reports of deaths in custody and that the government tortured, physically abused, arrested, detained, sentenced to prison, subjected to forced indoctrination in CCP ideology, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices. There were several reports of individuals committing suicide in detention, or, according to sources, as a result of being threatened and surveilled. In December Pastor Wang Yi was tried in secret and sentenced to nine years in prison by a court in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in connection to his peaceful advocacy for religious freedom.

  • Socio-Economic Dimensions of Tibetan Medicine in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China1 Part Two
    Asian Medicine 4 (2008) 492–514 brill.nl/asme Socio-Economic Dimensions of Tibetan Medicine in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China1 Part Two Th eresia Hofer Abstract Th is article investigates some of the socio-economic dimensions of contemporary Tibetan medi- cal practices in the rural areas of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), China. Th e article is divided into two parts. Part One, printed in the last issue of the journal, deals with traditional medical practitioners and their medical practices within the governmental health care system in the TAR. It sheds light on the workings and the eff ects that the commodification of the offi cial health care system have had on its Tibetan medical practitioners, most of whom now work as hybrid practitioners and incorporate Chinese-style biomedicine into their practice. I argue that several historical, social and political factors have brought about unequal access and availability of Tibetan medicine as compared to Chinese style biomedical care in the rural areas. Special attention is given to the role of the re-introduction of the Co-operative Medical Services (CMS) scheme in the sidelining of Tibetan medical practices in the rural areas. Part Two describes the work of private Tibetan medical practitioners and explores some of the social dynamics and ethical dilemmas that have arisen for them due to the commodifi cation of the offi cial system and the re-introduction of the CMS. Both parts focus on the situation in the Tsang or Shigatse region of the western and central TAR, hence enabling there to be useful comparisons with medical practices in the capital Lhasa, where most of the anthropological literature has focused on so far.
