Tibetans-in-exile recently marked the  64th anniversary of ‘Democracy Day’ in Dharamshala to mark the day of establishing democracy for Tibetans.

The day marked the inception of the Tibetan democratic system in exile.

On this day, the Tibetan parliament-in-exile was established in 1960 following the arrival of the Dalai Lama and 80,000 Tibetans in exile in Dharamshala, reported ANI.

While speaking to ANI, a resident of Dharamshala expressed his pleasure on the occasion and said the day is very special for Tibetan people.

“In 1960, Dalai Lama declared the democracy system, started some members of parliament from the different regions of Tibet and then set up the democracy parliament system. A huge number of people from the three regions and also five sectarians of Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet. Since that, we have got a democracy system, as gradually we have the increased members of parliament from different regions,” he added.

In early 1959 during the Tibetan uprising,their spiritual leader (Nobel Peace Winner) spiritual leader Dalai Lama and his retinue fled Tibet with the help of the CIA's Special Activities Division, crossing into India on 30 March 1959.

He is based in Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh since then.
