With CPM around, who needs China or Pakistan ? They think India should give up Kashmir or forget Tibetan cause forever. Hitting a raw nerve of India has never been easier for CPM.
CPM knows to divide and conquer. But, sadly, we can't seem to *express* unity on essential principles.
UPA and NDA need to unite when necessary. They do express agreement on some principles like Tibet, nuke deal, Taslima. YES, 1) at least UPA tried to push the US deal. YES, 2), at least NDA tried to tell China what we remember about Tibet. And YES, 3) both Congress and BJP want to keep India united including Kashmir valley, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, etc.
You know what the REAL problem is? NO, the Congress and BJP are not able to espress a common stand on the most basic issues. This hurts almost every Indian very bad. Almost every Indian NEEDS a future independent nation of Tibet. Not really to protect ourselves from China, but actually to uphold our own cultural roots and ethos. We need to understand the difference between Tibet and Kashmir. The same philosophy that will earn independence for Tibet will (ultimately) earn the respect and admiration of Kashmiris. Kashmiris can choose non-violent protest and we must choose non-violent security measures. When Kashmiris see this, they will automatically recognize that they are in the same boat with India. The justification to give in to Chinese claims on Tibet is NOT to compare with *perceived* use of force to continue the alienation of Kashmiri M
