About Us
Birth of NDPT
Political parties; based on different ideologies; is a key requirement of a functional democracy. One major drawback with Tibetan democracy in exile was the lack of proper political parties. Members to the assembly of Tibetan People’s Deputies are still elected on the basis of the Three Regions of Tibet. In addition to this, the four major sects of Buddhism and the Pre – Buddhist Bon faith each elect their own representatives. Read More

Political Activities
The NDPT considers it of primary importance to keep alive the freedom struggle among our own people- especially among the younger generation whom His Holiness the Dalai Lama has called ‘the seeds of future Tibet’. In pursuit of this goal the NDPT hosts talks, seminars and other programs in schools and universities to inform and motivate the students.
At the same time we believe it is equally important to keep alive the issue of Tibet on the world stage. We seek to do this through various activities aimed at informing the general public as well as reminding the world leaders about the ongoing tragedy of Tibet and China’s crimes against humanity.
