Since the inception of this section, till date six books have been published and this year a half-yearly journal named ‘Bhotvani’ was launched on the auspicious occasion of the birthday of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The Journal was launched by Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche “His Eminence Kalon Tripa,” at the new LTWA Conference Hall amidst renowned scholars, professionals and dignitaries. Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche gave a short speech during the Journal: “Today from Gangchen Kyishong, we have started a Revolution in Hindi and through this initiative we should keep the momentum of this revolution. This is a revolution in two ways. One, its a revolution in Hindi and second, ‘Bhot’ or Tibet in one sense is actually a designation of national characteristic and in another sense is of a regional characteristic. The ‘Vaani’ refers to its language and that language is in Hindi. So the revolution that has been born in this Hindi language must be sustained.”
