About Insights From The Roof Of The World: Conversations on Tibet
Insights from the Roof of the World: Conversations on Tibet is a series of podcasts and conversations by FNVA which seeks a deeper understanding of developments in Tibet under Chinese occupation with the policies of the Communist Party of China seeking to eliminate Tibet’s distinct cultural identity and history. Listeners will gain insights to 'ground realities' in Tibet through conversations with Tibetans, Western and Asian scholars, writers, China watchers, environmentalists and security experts in Tibet and hear aspirations of young Tibetans, some who have undertaken perilous journeys to escape Chinese occupation. The Foundation for Non-Violent Alternatives (FNVA) is a Delhi-based think-tank tracking developments in Tibet, China, and the Himalayan region & their implications for India's security.
FNVA Talks is a series by the Foundation for Non-violent Alternatives (FNVA) that brings public engagements with key experts, leaders and stakeholders in the Himalayan region.
This FNVA Talks with Dr. Gerald Roche was held virtually on 20th August, 2026 on "Intensifying Language Oppression in Tibet: From Invasion to Ethnic Unity". It was held when Tibetans worldwide held prayers and protest as it marked the 49 day since Tibetan Martyr Lobga Rangzen sacrificed his life for Tibet by committing self-immolating outside the United Nations in New York.
The talk was moderated by FNVA Research Associate Rinzin Namgyal.

#Ep30 Unsilenced: Voices of Young Tibetans - Tenzin Woesel Takrang la in conversation with Tenzing Damdul
Unsilenced: Voices of Young Tibetans is a podcast series where we have conversations with young Tibetans who will offer an interesting view of their lives as exiled Tibetans and their future aspiration. The podcast is also a tribute to all those brave Tibetans in Tibet who were silenced both physically and mentally by the Chinese occupiers.
In this episode, we engage with Tenzin Woesel Takrang la. He is the India national coordinator of the Voluntary Tibet Advocacy Group (V-TAG).
In this podcast, Tenzin Woesel la reveals what inspired him to be actively involved in the Tibetan Movement. He shares us his experience as a Tibetan youth advocating for Tibet. Furthermore, with China's growing oppression of Tibet, including the implementation of the 'Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress,' he highlights the opportunities, challenges, and prospects for the Tibetan movement, particularly the youth's involvement.
