I dont want to waste space here. Please read Raman's letter to Aamair Khan at least about the kashmir issue to get a few of these points. Briefly, the differences revolve around Ethnicity, demographics, special status for the region, pandit exodus, Pak involvement to an extreme, legal accession instrument and not forceful annexation, etc etc.

LOL ... waste of space? that's a lame argument used when you don't have an argument ... if you don't want waste of space, don't write at all, because what you write is in deed a waste of space. and who is raman, and what is his letter to amir khan so important?
1. ethnicity - kashmir had a majority of muslims at independece ... pakistan is supporting the muslims there to lead a separatist movement. any attempt by Indian govt. to support freedom of tibet from china, constitutes an act of support to separatism ... why is it so difficult for you to understand?
demographics - kashmir is in mountains, tibet is a plateau - roof of the world ... tibet is connected to china and has a longer border than kashmir has with mainland India.
special status - that was granted by India to kashmir ... which in fact makes kashmir different from other Indian states. tibet is part of china and enjoys no special status
pak involvement to extreme - when pak is involved, we call it to extreme, when we do it, it is not. talk about yr double standards LOL ... Indian govt. should just stay out of it.
legal/not forceful - tibet is legally part of China ... india-pakistan and have fought wars over kashmir ... Indian govt. should stay out of tibet issue ... if we openly support tibet's separatist movement, we could face a war with China.

Loan Shark - You don't even know the meaning of demographics. It's pointess to argue with you. Go to China if you like it so much. You only can belong there.

Rajeev Srinivasan has pointed out: In Tibet, Communism is wiping out an Indic faith, Tibetan Buddhism. In Jammu & Kashmir, Islam is wiping out another Indic faith, Hinduism. But any comparison between the two situations is erroneous and entirely out of place. The full text is posted at Indiannotion.com

so, why is indic faith suddenly so important? faith is personal ... it's a human belief ... besides, there is no evidence that chinese govt. is converting buddhists in tibet into some other religion like christianity or islam or whatever ... anyway, some people will switch religions ... happens all the time
