Tibet after the Dalai Lama

Interesting read about the Dalai Lama in The Economist, and speculation - well a little - on what lies in store for the Tibetan cause with the 14th Dalai Lama now 76. The Karmapa Lama may come into play as the next Dalai Lama will be young, and there will be a regency for 15 - 20 years once he is located. Here's the link:

Also posting a publication by Human Rights watch on the wide scale repression and abuse in Tibet since the 2008 Lhasa uprising. As usual it makes for grim, but necessary reading. The real extent of Chinese atrocities may never be known.
