Dharamshala, India Hotel Tibet Conference Room
Twenty scholars and translators met to discuss the problems and solutions to rendering foreign words, scientific, technical and other terms in the Tibetan language. Since AMI had also translated a number of Western books into Tibetan, opinion and feedback was sought from the participants on the merits and failings of these translations.
The translation of Aung San Suu Kyi's Freedom
from Fear, and Palden Gyal's The
Offering and Other Poems were also launched on the occasion.

Tibet in the Post-Deng Era May 17 to 18, 1994 |
||||
|
Dharamshala, India Department of Information and International Relations
This seminar was held under our Occupied
Tibet Studies Programme. A number of Tibetan China-experts contributed
papers on: Life of Deng Xiaoping, Changes in China & Implications for Tibet,
China after Deng: Scenarios & Strategies, Literary and Cultural Conjectures
on Changes in China, No Freedom on a Plate: Scenarios in Post-Deng Tibet.
The papers and the discussions clearly brought out the complexities
of China's many problems including leadership succession, corruption,
economic disparity, social dislocation and ideological bankruptcy. Many
suggestions were also presented for the Tibetan government and people
to benefit from the impending crisis in China.
All the China experts at his seminar were near unanimous in their conclusion
that the death of Deng Xiaopeng would not alter Chinese policies in Tibet
nor contribute to any discernable changes in Sino-Tibetan relationships.
The proceedings of this seminar have been published in 1995. See our
books published under the
Occupied Tibet Series for more information.

The two themes of the seminar were:
Contemporary Development in Tibetan Literature
Suggestions for the improvement of the literary journal Jang-zhon
About fifty writers, scholars and interested people attended and there
was energetic discussion and debate for and against modern writing as
opposed to classical writing; also on the need for a writing that would
better express the problems of Tibetans in this present day. There were
also many ideas for making Jang-zhon a more interesting and relevant journal.
On this occasion the 6th issue of Jang-zhon was launched by Kalön
Sonam Topgyal, Minister of Home Affairs. This is the first issue of the
journal under AMI management.
