Tawang prepares for the Visit by Dal Lama

[ravichaudhary]

I do not understand what Dalai Lama has to do with our country. He is serving nothing except an estrangement between India and China. One of the reason for bitter relationship between India and China. He should be kicked out of our country if we want to see some progress in future.

Could I suggest you read up some history, general history.

Ravi ji, Thanks a lot for this very informative n' enlightening post. I second with your view point 'bout China, It was never our friend and in fact never will be therefore govt must get rid of their defensive mode.

The Indians were silly to give up Tibet on a platter to China.

It was a betrayal of the Tibetan and the Indian interests.

Until they did, Tibet was an independent Country, and India had a long and peaceful border, since the Vedic times. Certainly there was no invasion of Tibet by Indians or vice versa.

There was trade, and more importantly exchanges of ideas and philosophy, which meant that both Tibetan and Indian ethos, had a common source.

There are many places in Tibet which are sacred to Indians and Hindus. Buddhism

Tibet is also important to India, as it is the source of the Major rivers that flow in to India- the Brahmaputra being just one.

The Tibetans have nothing in common with the Chinese. Since 1947 what has been happening is that, The Chinese have been flooding Tibet with their people, ( The Han Chinese) enslaving the Tibetans, and ethnically cleansing Tibet of Tibetans

Giving up Tibet also allowed the Chinese to have a direct access to Pakistan, Myanmar, and Nepal Bhutan etc.

China is no friend of Indians or India. The way to keep your enemy busy is to keep him far from your borders. By cravenly handing over Tibet, Nehru and co made a big blunder, a price , our soldiers paid in 1962, we are paying now, and will pay well into the future.

The Dalai Lama is also a symbol of free Tibet.

Maybe we will re open the Tibet question, and discuss the Tibet- Chinese Border.

Let us not be so hasty as to fall into the ‘Chini- Hindi Bhai Bhai’ rhetoric.

There is corruption in US but generally at a sophisticated level. China supplied uranium for atomic weapons to Pakistan - recently in news. It's policy has been to strengthen enemies of India in order to keep India busy. China is not unbeatable. It lost to tiny Vietnam in 1979. Dalai lama is just for a show. If not him, China will find something else to start a dispute with India. What happened to Akshai Chin that China won from India in 1962 skirmish? I bet India will never get that back. And what about the part of Kashmir that Pakistan gave away to China?
