I am born and brought up in kalimpong. i see this TIBET MIRROR press whenever i take a walk to main road. i see lots of people specially the westerners taking pictures of the the press. We the citizens living there rarely understand the importance of the press not only in the history of tibet but to the kalimpong itself. wouldn't it be a good subject for the local channels of kaimpong to show to its viewers? who is owning the place right now? is there anything that the authorities are doing about it? can an individual or the organisation take the initiative in restoring the lost glory for the visitors? thank you to all those people behind this beautiful website.

There are not many early pictures of Tibetan refugees from the 1959 era to be seen. As such the few rare pictures that have come up in recent times are the 'Shakabpa' collection, posted on line entitled 'The Tibetan Exodus'. I am surprised that the Tibetan Library in Dharamsala, India does not possess much historical pictures of the early life of Tibetan refugees. Nice Pictures indeed.

'Gettyimages' has a whole collection of photographs of Darjeling from the early 1880s to 1990s. You could easily share them with your netizns. Happy decade. Sonam. Dear Anuj,
