Dalai Lama: I Am a Son of India
If you thought His Holiness the Dalai Lama was 100% Tibetan, think again.
I am a son of India, he declared during questions after his appearance at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit in New Delhi. Not only has India been his transplanted home since he fled Tibet about 50 years ago, but this body has survived by Indian daals, Indian rice, so therefore I describe myself as a son of India.
He also considers himself a messenger of India (a line the audience ate up with applause) because he espouses ancient Indian thought, especially the gospel of non-violent action related with a compassionate mind.
He also noted the India was the only country, in his view, where all the major religions live together with respect.
