This is the status of mind of the Australian PM. But he is dictating India on the Uranium issue. What a Joke! It is really pathetic to know that the Australian PM is very much way behind on his authority of human rights. We are neighbours of China but we are supporting the cause of Tibetans and we have suffered for it. But Australia is well developed country and it has no reason to tow the line of chinese misadventure in Tibet
Have you ever thought what could be the reason as to why Australia doesn't want to go against Chinese wishes, but takes India lightly?
a) Ofcourse the first concern is economic. WE should also develop such economic muscle, so that others give you the respect that you deserve.
b) Militarily also they are very strong, and in the interest of the nation, they behave and show their body language accordingly. Whereas we are not that strong militarily, and we dont present ourselves in a strong manner in the international arena. The result is nobody takes you seriously. Look at how we deal with Pakistan (like taling to them for peace, sending trains and busses to Pak, etc.), talking to Hurriyat, etc. and see how the Chinest treat Dalai Lama, and how we respect the Hurriyat leaders!?
Its time that we also change our attitude, and learn our lessons from countries like China and Israel, etc.

All the issues u discussed are different. One can't compare Kashmir issue with Palestine ot Tibet. Palestine & Tibet were occupied by powers but Kasmir was merged with India with the will of people.The Hindu King & Muslim Prime Minister both wanted Kasmir as a otomonous terrotery of India.
Offcourse in any deal one can't satisfy 100% people. Pakistan started taking revenge of Bangladesh with us through fiancing unsatisfied people of Kashmir against India.
We treat them nicely beacuse we think they are our people. No Indian can think to wash our kashmiris from Kashmir.
But in palestine & tibet both the power want to wash out the people of the land. so they treat them badly.

Dear Friends, i appreciate your views. But you have to look into the history also, when the struggle for freedom of young students in Tinamanen Square ended in a great massacre, the world leaders just pumped their condemnations and then slept on it. but when the Indian army fights the terrorists in Indian Held Kashmir (thats how i have to say now) there is large hue and cry and accusations of violation of human rights. Please let me know one incidnet in China or in Australia or even in USA as to what action those govts have taken in case of such an alleged violation of human rights. When blacks were beaten to death by white police man in US (which we all saw in the TV clippings) their Govt just suspended them and what is the status of that case? What is the outcome of great massacre of Tinamanen? Is there any outrage in UN? No never there is such thing. but look into the Gujarat Fake Encounter episode. The Supreme court is following the case. To an extent i agree with what you said - its the political will which we lack in enforcing a strict regimen and policy implementation for the welfare of our people. Right from Shri MM Singh, Mr. Somnath Chatterjee to the last ranked politician make such a sound against judicial activisim - sorry in their words it is called as judicial overstepping. Why the Supreme Court of India has to step into this issues if there is political action is initiated for the good of the people.
