| Although
the hunger strike camp is erected in a filthy slum in the capital city
of India, the Tibetans refused to allow the slum to live inside themselves.
Tibetan women are so beautiful and even though conditions are less than
ideal, they always wear clean traditional colorful "chupas" (Tibetan dress);
and the married women wear a multi-colored apron to signify they are married.
I watched the Tibetan men and women volunteers care for each protester
in the morning. I discovered today that many of the care-givers have taken
a vow to replace any member of the original six if one should die. Dawa
Gyalpo, the leader of the protesters, looked like he was receiving a bath
by committee as he sat in front of an open sewer which was used as a public
bathroom. |
