Nobody can help a man who does not want to help himself. Dalai Lama should first be clear about his stand-he wants an autonomous Tibet within China; he does not want violence and believes in pursuation! Obviously he is trying to make omlette without breaking the egg! He should realise his nonviolence will not work with a rogue nation like China. He must take into consideration the profile of the opponent before trying out ahimsa. Going by the statements he makes every other day, it appears he is more against his own countrymen than China, the aggressor! Chinese are very clear and they care a tuppence for international opinion or Dalai Lama. What India thinks in this issue is immaterial. India's pussilanimity in any issue over the centuries is well-known for it has always been guided by the impractical Gandhian ideology. But the country, castrated into impotence,always puts up a brave front by making a virtue of of its inability to act!

It's Dalai Lama's belief, from his training in Buddhism, that he can achieve at leat autonomy for his people through peaceful methods. He may or may not succeed. That does not mean he give up good beliefs!
