Happy 75th Independence Day to India! (Economic Times)

Today, Tibetans are a flourishing community in India with the freedom to sustain their culture, identity and political voice, largely due to the magnanimity of India and its people. In the same year of escape to India in 1959, the Tibetans were able to set up a government in exile. Since 1959, the Indian government and the various state governments have supported Tibetans in every possible way to not only survive but thrive as a community. I would like to think of myself as a Tibetan Indian, as I feel Indian, as much as a Tibetan. In fact Tibetans born in India would share the same feeling. During his first interaction with HH the Dalai Lama, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India, stressed on making education a priority and mentioned that the future of the Tibetans in India depended on the quality of education given to them. Following the Chinese crackdown of March 10, Tibetan National Uprising in 1959, thousands of Tibetans fled the Chinese occupation of Tibet and joined their revered leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama in exile.

Nearly a century after it was launched to amplify the voice of India's freedom, Chicago Radio is still around, now a low-profile, small firm selling public address and intercom systems in a saturated market. We put Motwane on one side and Chicago Radio on the other side." He hired a photographer who travelled with him to the meetings with a film and movie cameras, taking pictures and recording priceless footage of meetings, featuring luminaries such as Gandhi, Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and the charismatic Subhas Chandra Bose. Many of these recordings now lie scattered all over the Motwane residence in uptown Mumbai. "He used to keep detailed records of the meetings, he was very meticulous," says Kiran Motwane. The party would cover our expenses and would give us around 6,000 rupees a meeting," says Kiran Motwane. Motwane told the police that he was not a member of the Congress. No evidence was found, and he was freed. He collected the photographs and and newspaper clippings featuring the public meetings in huge albums. He would record the speeches on spool tapes and hand over a copy to the party. "He was in jail for a month and tortured," says Kiran Motwane. "It's true that he was helping the underground police station". Nanik Motwane also helped run a clandestine radio station that broadcast messages from Gandhi and other leaders to counter the imperial propaganda of the state-run broadcaster. Chicago Radio was a curious name for a firm based in Bombay (now Mumbai), where the Motwanes had migrated to in 1919. Nanik Motwane was picked up for allegedly helping the station with equipment and technical assistance. For the next two decades, Chicago Radio became synonymous with the loudspeakers that relayed India's struggle for freedom from imperial rule to the masses.
