चीन ने तिब्बत में धार्मिक उत्पीड़न बढ़ाया
भारत सरकार इस उत्पीड़न का विरोध करे

Synopsis

The world's largest Tibetan Buddhist study center, Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, faces increased Chinese military presence, heightened surveillance, and stricter regulations on monks' and nuns' residency and registration. These actions are part of China's broader strategy to control Buddhist institutions and limit religious freedom, continuing a history of tension and unrest in Tibet.

Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, recognised as the world's largest Tibetan Buddhist study center, has witnessed a sharp rise in Chinese military presence, signifying intensified surveillance and stricter regulations on religious practices, the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) reported.

CTA reported on December 20, 2024, that approximately 400 Chinese military personnel had been deployed to the academy in Serthar County, Karze (Chinese: Ganzi), located in the Tibetan Kham region, now part of Sichuan Province. The deployment was accompanied by helicopter surveillance, indicating increased monitoring of the significant religious site.

Sources reveal that Chinese authorities plan to enforce new regulations at Larung Gar in 2025. These include limiting residency to a maximum of 15 years and implementing mandatory registration for all monks and nuns. Furthermore, the government aims to reduce the number of religious practitioners at the academy, with reports stating that Chinese students are being directed to leave the institution.
