Such a show of force in a demoratic country was unecessary. Peaceful dissent is the right of every citizen, however unpalatable it may be to the powers that rule and to totalitarian regimes. What should have been a celebration turned out to be a fiasco. The Chinese should talk to HH Dalai Lama and arrive at a mutually acceptable solution. Except the Communists, who serve the interest of their foreign masters, the rest of india is with the Tibetans.
