some indians like bhutia and me are staying away from the olympics not because china is hosting it, but because human rights have been violated.
yes human rights are being violated elsewhere too. but we dont have the opportunity to show our solidarity with them.
china happens to host this olympic and this is a good opportunity.
by boycotting this olympic we are trying to show not only to china but to the whole world that the human lives are more important, human rights cannot be violated anywhere.
what happens if we miss couple of olympics and save few lives? is that not going to be worth it?
