He was the editor of Tibetan Review for the longest period of 19 years. His critical, and sometimes sarcastic essays and editorials, devoid of intellectual pretentions, have become the hallmark of the Review and were responsible for the nick name 'Editor' by which his asquaintances call him. |

Lhasang Tsering
During the years the magazine grew from a factual bulletin to a wide spread platform for political, social and cultural discussions around Tibet. During the 3 decades Tibetan Review never lost its objectivity and independence. In the year 1986, during Mr. Wangyal's residence in the USA, no less a person than Mr. Lhasang Tsering, former president of the Tibetan Youth Congress and author of many political essays did the editor's job. |

With this issue I am leaving Tibetan Review for personal reasons. The new editor is Mr. Pema Thinley, former executive editor of Tibetan Bulletin, Dharamsala. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all the correspondents and contributors who helped me keep the magazine going over the years. I am also grateful to the readers for their patience and support. I would like to request them all to extend the same kindness and cooperation to the new editor. Thank you.
