Instagram Spotlight India #HogsAbroad

India is a beautiful explosion of colors, sounds, smells, tastes and people. As Mark Twain remarked, "So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked." 

U of A students who participated on the U of A Tibetans in Exile Today: India 2015 program captured some special moments from their time and shared them with us. Namaste!

Looking back at this summer with so much joy in my heart. While most of it was spent gearing up for Senior Year (which technically starts on Monday) and building a greenhouse, much of it was spent in India, out of my comfort zone. Thankful for new experiences & new friends. #TEXT2015

"The Chinese government does not believe in the, what I call, right to conscientious ideas. It's not like you see people engaging in violence in Tibet. They sing a song about Tibetan culture and identity and are put in prison...I think as a human, you should be able to sing-singing songs is not a crime!" T.
