India should allow free flow of Tibetans to Indian universities and allow them close to Indian national status. India should use its "so called" friendly relations to pressure China for a more objective dialogue with Dalai Lama or representatives of Tibet. A high Chinese military presence in Tibet is a security threat to India and therefore should negotiate for a open border via Tibet and convert Tibet to military free zone. Tibet should be the new Hong Kong for business between India and China. Whether India wants it or not, historical connections to this spiritual nation in Tibet makes India party to the conflict directly or indirectly. China very well is aware of it, and should acknowledge the same although India can stay away from any negotiations but act as a facilitator. Together Chindia can solve the Tibetan issue thus allowing Tibetans to preserve their spiritual identity whilst carrying the Chinese passport.

We dont protect our lands why should we interfere in other's affairs. Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, Aksai Chin and now Arunanchal Pradesh. India has done its duty towards Tibet by giving refuge to Dalai Lama. If we want to do something for Tibetiens then yes let them come in and give refuge to them instead voicing their freedom struggle. We allow Bangladeshis to come. Statistics show that there are 2 million illegal Bangladeshis staying in India. They are doing nothing but planning terrorist activities the one which was unfolded in Goa and the which unfortunately happened in Hyderabad blasts. Why did Kargil happen because our own jawans left the bunkers empty and went for a stroll and to regain it we have to sacrifice another 2000 of our soldiers to regain our own bunkers and even then we had a golden chance and reason to reoccpy POK but unfortunately no such orders were issued. Supporting Tibet is okay understood but politics says we cannot make one enemy who is as strong as ourselves and besides india has very troubled neighbours Pakistan, Bangladesh but could survive because of its military might over them. China is a different case. I am not saying we should be scared of them no...If forced a war then okay we will see them too...but we will not fight them for a third reason. We are a country called India not USA who needles around with everyone's internal affairs.
