Tibetans around the world are celebrating the 46th anniversary of their

Democracy Day.

Among the exiled Tibetan community in India and elsewhere, formal and

informal celebrations are being held Saturday.

At a Tibetan school in New Delhi, a gathering of people heard speeches by

dignitaries including a representative of Tibetan spiritual leader, the

Dalai Lama. Students at the school performed Tibetan cultural songs and

dances for those in attendance.

On September 2, 1960, a 13-member assembly of Tibetan exiles met for the

first time in Dharamsala, northern India. The Tibetan community observes

this day each year as Democracy Day.
