Since ethnically and culturally Tibetans are different from the Chinese and even conceding China ruled it for long periods of time in the past does not make it an automatic choice to rule over them for ever. All the more when Tibetans have been fighting for decades for independence and autonomy. It is important to preserve independent cultures. If China does not listen or understand it will disintegrate like Yugoslavia and Russia one day or the other. The world should take note of this and convene a round table conference on Tibet or conduct seminars and conferences all over the world to highlight the problem. It's a foregone conclusion that Tibet will become independent of China at some point of time in history. The better it is done now as once the present Dalai Lama passes away, there will be leadership crisis and extreme violence involving China and Tibet. The world should pay attention to this. It should not become another Palestine problem.

What shit are you talking.
Wthically the entire North East India are different from us. In fact the North and south Indians are different ethnically. So then should India give independence to them. Please go and see the economic development Tibetans have had.They could never have had it without China. Some jobless Tibetans are creating issue with the support of the Americans. I am a frequent visitor to China and there is no Human rights violation at all. The only thing if we just cannot talk crap and do voolnt strikes etc which is the mian reason for the lasck of development of India.

How did you infer that there was no human rights violation in China. Did you visit the labour camps or jails in China? Human rights did not and does not exist in China. Were you born after Tinnamen Square? Please read more about China before commenting.

Tibet was an Independent nation. China occupied it with armed forces( Nehru was gunning for international glory by involving himself in the Korean War. )

Dear Shubasrikrishna, you need to study the history of India carefully. North East has always been a part of the country culturally if not politically. It is the strong undercurrent of cultural unity that has kept the nation together. India is one country and will always remain so notwithstanding quislings like you who will do anything to see it dismembered. Take off your coloured glasses given by Mccaulay and Marxists look at the country; you will find only unity amid all the diversity that is external and deceptive.
