Demand of 80 MPs: Dalai Lama Should Be Awarded Bharat Ratna!

 

In a rare show of cross-party unity, over 80 Members of Parliament across India have called for awarding the Bharat Ratna — the country’s highest civilian honour — to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. This collective appeal reflects growing recognition of the Dalai Lama's lifelong commitment to peace, compassion, and spiritual values, not just for Tibetans but for humanity as a whole.

Born in 1935 in Taktser, Tibet, the Dalai Lama has been a global symbol of non-violence and harmony. After taking refuge in India in 1959, he established the Tibetan government-in-exile in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh. For over six decades, he has lived in India and promoted values deeply rooted in Indian philosophy, including ahimsa (non-violence) and karuna (compassion).

The MPs advocating for this honor argue that the Dalai Lama has become a global ambassador of India's soft power, especially through his teachings on Buddhism, interfaith dialogue, and human ethics. Despite receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and numerous international awards, the Bharat Ratna remains notably absent from his accolades.



The move is also symbolic — a gesture of India’s appreciation for the Tibetan spiritual leader’s contribution to Indo-Tibetan friendship and global peace. It comes at a time when the geopolitical landscape is shifting, and honoring the Dalai Lama would reaffirm India’s commitment to democratic values, human rights, and cultural harmony.

The RD News Network will continue to follow this story closely as public support grows for this historic demand. Will the government heed the collective voice of its lawmakers and bestow the Bharat Ratna upon one of the world's most revered spiritual leaders?
