RE:Read History carefully

Comparing Sikkim with Tibet is unfortunate.
Chinese PLA invaded Tibet, and afterwards there were several armes uprisings agains the chinese there. Tibetan refugees continue migrating to India even now.Also, the China is moving the han chinese into Tibet in a large scale and tibetans are already a minority in their state.
India did not send a single platoon to 'capture' Sikkim. Sikkim is one of the quietest states of India and exercise peaceful elections, electing only sikkimese who rule their state. No non-sikkimese indian can buy land in Sikkim (as in other states of india where minority communities are majority).
