The ninth edition of the Miss Tibet Beauty Pageant 2010 kicked off with the swimsuit round on Friday (June 4, 2010), held at Funky Town in Dharamshala, India.
There are only four participants in the contest.
Three judges checked the participant’s figure, confidence, poise and presentation in the swimsuit round.
What would you say if Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) doesn’t know or care about the country’s geography? That is what happened in Nepal. A calendar spotted in a sinior ministry official’s office told that the Mt. Everest is located in Nepal – India border. Mt. Everest is situated in Nepal at the border of Nepal and Tibet – it sure is written below in small letters. Does that mean Tibet is in India?
It is to be noted that the calendar was manufacturered by an India based company.
India had been claiming Buddha was born in India and now they can claim Mt. Everest too. (source)
