At War with the Utopia of Modernity

Shiraz Janjua, Associate Producer

Former SOF guest Pankaj Mishra has written a very interesting analysis about the current situation in Tibet:

“Tibetans’ rage is directed not at communist rule, but the consumerist threat to their traditions and sacred lands.”
‘If any of these said persons come in love unto us, we cannot in conscience lay violent hands upon them, but give them free egress and regress unto our town. For we are bound by the law of God and man to do good unto all men and evil to no man.’
