Bloody Campaign to Free Tibet

One artist is willing to do what it takes to show the world how he feels about the situation in Tibet. Living in India, artist Mahesh Yadav uses his own blood in his art in a plea for Tibet's freedom. Let's take a look.

Prior to his journey to Shimla, Yadav exhibited his mission at Dharamshala, the seat of Tibetan Government in-exile.

[Dr. Mahesh Yadav, Crusader for Tibetan Homeland]:
"The new US President Barak Obama can give new direction to the world. We are hopeful that Obama will do something for Tibet. Earlier also, I made a portrait of Obama and draft an appeal with my own blood, and we are very much hopeful that he (Obama) will put some pressure on China."

The 45-year-old medical practitioner Mahesh Yadav has been campaigning for the last thirteen years, in his own unique way - he writes letters and paints pictures of renowned freedom fighters using blood drawn from his own his body. He does this all the in the cause of Tibet's freedom.

He claims to have written several 'blood-written-letters' to Indian Prime Minister and the President urging them to find a peaceful solution for the Tibetan freedom struggle.

He has also written letters scribbled in blood to the United Nations and apex body of Human Rights at Geneva, for the Tibetan cause.

Reportedly, Mahesh has written around 6,000 letters and sketched 600 portraits over the past one decade.

This unique crusader has drawn the attention of almost all the Tibetans who in turn have appreciated his sacrifice of vital fluid for their cause.

[Nawang, Tibetan Welfare Officer at the CTA]:
"Yes, Dr. Mahesh Yadav's blood campaign and his message of appeal to the new president Barack Obama, and this will get more support from the American people as well. The new president will also get more support for the issue of Tibet."

Tibetan exiles all over the world have been staging protests against the alleged Chinese suppression in their homeland. The Tibetans' campaign assumed a political dimension particularly after widespread uprising in Tibet in March 2008.
