Many have rushed in with comments without understanding the basics. We should be more responsible though we remain anonymous behind the postings.
Correct me if I am wrong with solid facts. Tibet issue came to the fore in 1959 after the Tibetans rose against Chinese rule. Dalai Lama fled to India with over one lakh followers and established govt in excile. No country has recognised them. Dalai Lama wants only autonomy and not independence. To my best knowledge, these are the facts.
If we go beyond history, we will be left high & dry. Why provoke others when we have enough enemies within, I mean those who create problems by the dozen? I am sure we all appreciate tough action against trouble makers. In our democracy, our govt has to answer all & sundry to the extent even confirmed guilty go scotch free.
As much as we cherish our system, let us not interfere in others. All countries want the Olympics to go ahead. We will be like a sore thumb to shout from the rooftops without understanding the basics.
Let us not forget, we have many within us who will not flinch in getting outside help in formenting trouble. I do not think we can do much on the Tibetan issue except give some moral support. That will give us the high ground in telling others off when faced with similar problems from time to time.
We should take a hard & long look in the mirror. We have our flaws. Let us fix them than be a world policeman. We are not even a UNSC Permanent Member.
