On the occasion of India's 72nd Independence Day, Dr Lobsang Sangay, president of Tibetan-government-in-exile, said India has grown in leaps and bounds since 1947 and today it stands as a global power.
After unfurling the Indian national flag at Kashag, the Tibetan Secretariat in Dharamshala, Sangay said, "Since independence, India's literacy rate has gone upto 74 per cent from 12 per cent in 1947.
"The economy is the fifth largest in the world. Politically India has become a global power. In the last 70 plus years, India has achieved a lot.
Dr Lobsang said India has done more for Tibetans than any other country. The meeting was attended by Tibetan ministers, secretaries and senior officials.
