GUWAHATI, March 21 - Mor Desh aru Mor Manuh, the Assamese translation of My Land and My People, the autobiography of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, will be released by the spiritual leader at IIT Guwahati on April 2.

The book, the first Assamese version of any book written by the Tibetan spiritual leader, is being published by Lawyer�s Book Stall, which is celebrating its 75th year of inception.

Besides releasing the book, the Dalai Lama will deliver a public talk and participate in an interactive session at the programme jointly organised by Lawyer�s Book Stall and IIT Guwahati.
