I am happy to inform you that the project of cataloguing and indexing some 1,500 archival files from the National Archives of India, The Prime Ministers' Museum and Library (PMML, formerly known as the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library or NMML) and other State Archives has been completed. This represents a corpus of historical documents collected over the last 25/30 years.
A young Tibetan research scholar, Tenzin Dekyong, daughter of the great scholar (and friend) Thubten Samphel, former secretary of the Department of Information and International Relations of the Central Tibetan Administration, Dharamsala and first director of the Tibetan Policy Institute, has worked hard for more than two months on the project as Research Assistant.
The documents are hosted at the Pavilion of Tibetan Culture, Auroville.
A database will be released shortly, and these files will be accessible on demand for interested scholars.
I am grateful to my colleagues at the Pavilion for their constant support.
