Nobody is holding anybody's breath. It is a question of looking at the future based on current possibilities. Tibetans are not part of China and the more the Chinese play games, the more Dalai Lama's position will get diluted and Tibetans will stop at nothing short of independence. Even the mighty soviet state could not prevent various republics from getting independence eventually. China like them is strong in some ways but very weak in others. We cannot stay out of the Tibet issue as you want us to because Tibet impacts our security, our water, our territorial integrity in the north and northeast. Do not allow confusion about the Kashmir and Tibet issues to cloud your judgement.
