In the episode of All Things Policy, Rakshith explores the complexities surrounding the reincarnation process of the Dalai Lama and China's attempts to influence it. Tenzing Dhamdul, a Tibetan refugee and research associate at the Foundation for Non-Violent Alternatives in Delhi, explains the traditional steps involved in identifying a Dalai Lama, which includes interpreting signs, conducting tests, and ultimately recognizing the reincarnated individual. Dhamdul also discusses how China seeks to control this process to ensure the next Dalai Lama aligns with its political interests.
