Bending backwards to please a potential enemy is foolishness.
Agreed we can not shut doors but why go out of your way to please the Chinese. Pranab Mukherjee looks weak in his knees when he says that Dalai Lama is our guest but he can NOT protest ! Thats stupid to say in a democracy.
There is a Supreme Court ruling of 1991 which says Tibetans have every right to peaceful protests. That way Pranab Mukherjee is in direct violation of the Court ruling.
But govt weak reaction to this crisis looks shameful. All for sruvival at the cost of national pride & principles ?
To please CPM whose Masters are in Beijing ? CPM supported China during 1962 war. CPM celebrated when Chinese exploded nuclear bomb. Where as they didnt even support Indian govt when we went nuclear in 1998.

India has always allowed peaceful protests by the Tibetans. And as long as the Tibetans protest is peaceful without disruption of the Olympic Torch Relay there should not be any problem.

If you have a gd idea golden ..if all the 14 crore muslim agree to leave India then Perhaps Indian public and politiicans may develop opinion to free Kashmir on the basis of religion identity ..and btw they way you have all the freedom to leave the land of Hindus, no body is stopping you to go to Pakistan . We already gave a huge Hindu land( Pakistan and Bangladesh) to Muslim invaders ..so dont ask for more .. looking for freedom go an search there.

The one message that we get from all this is "NEVER BELIEVE THE CHINESE". They are unreliable and expansionist with border conflicts with all their neighbours. They have armed Pakistan with nuclear arms in an attempt to checkmate India. They have occupied 90,000 sq km of Indian territory in Arunachal and Aksai Chin and they are claiming much more. The Chinese rulers did not have any compuction in brutally killing scores of young Chinese who demanded freedom. Why should we have any sympathy for China?
We should support all the separatist movements in China from Tibetians to Uighurs. That way, the Chinese will never have the time to think of attacking India
