We must support the Tibetans
by Vemuri Srikanth on Mar 19, 2008 10:51 PM

We have come a long way Gandhi.He would have stood by his principles even at the costy of his life.
The present day has brought much more prsperity to India than he could have imagined.Many benefit from the overflowing riches.
But sticking to ideals? At least remotely? NO
The present governments pay lip service to his ideas ,while brazenly paying homage to China.
.Ignore its incursions into our land ,take all of the communists' claims of territory seriously,ignore the violence being perpetrated in China on Tibetans ,on ITS OWN PEOPLE ,and concentrate only on the economic benefits accruing out of its relationship with the Politburo. We are busy getting close with the leaders(great ones they surely are) but not with the people.Such short sighted policies will never do any good.
Please, stop being timid and too clever for your own good. Do what is right in the case of China. Stop stooping to its ill gotten power
