All Party Indian Parliamentary Forum for Tibet (APIPFT) is a dynamic forum that brings together political leaders from around the world with a shared objective of supporting and advocating for Tibet. Established by Shri M.C. Chagla in the 1970s, the APIPFT serves as a melting pot of political minds, working collaboratively to amplify the voices of Tibetans, preserve their cultural heritage, and foster a strong bond.
