ISSUE TIBET
by tapankanti mandal on Mar 24, 2008 12:10 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

IT IS NOT A SEPERATE ISSUE. TIBET IS THE INTEGRAL PART OF CHINA. KASMIR IS THE INTEGRAL PART OF INDIA. BUT DO THESE KINDS OF IDEAS COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. ALL ETHNIC COMMUNITIES SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEVELOPE THEMSLVES IN WAYS THEY WANT. WORLD LEADERS TO SIT TOGATHER. DAYS OF IMPERIALISM SHOULD HAVE A FULLSTOP. JUST NOW. WORLD CAN NOT PROSPER KEEPING BEHIND THOSE UNREST. PEACE CAN NOT BE IMPOSED BY BRUTAL FORCE. IT IS INFECTOUS. STATE ARMY CAN KILL THOUSANDS, BUT NOT ALL. YOU CAN NOT SIT IDLE WHEN NEIGHBOUR'S HOUSE IS BURNING. IT CAN BURN YOURS ALSO. EVERY CITZENS OF THE SHOULD BE UNITED TO FIGHT AGAINST THESE TORTOURES. BE IT AGAINST ANY PART OF THE WORLD. THANK TO THINK ABOUT.

Someone on forum said "We cannot have double stndards, if we say that kashmir is an integral part of india so is tibet an integral part of china"

This comparison is apples to oranges. Kashmir was annexed to India legally. Whether it was morally right is a different point. Suppose you pay by the nose to buy a property, occupy it and then realize that the property was stolen. What do you do ? Give it up easily ? You paid for it already !

When India parted with a part of its land to Pakistan on the basis of religion, why was this basis not strictly followed ? If Pakistan became a Muslim country, shouldnt India have become a non-Muslim country ? Our pseudo-secular leaders made it a secular country. We have more muslims in India than in Pakistan.

I would compare this with the previous owner of the house you bought still occupying the bathroom saying he likes the bathroom since he has emotions attached to it. So we make special rules in this new house (Muslim law) we bought where the original owner can occupy the bathroom when he needs it. Funny thing is this house belonged to our ancestors to begin with.

If Muslims can get a minority status in other states, shouldnt Hindus get a minority status in Kashmir ? Instead we make a special article where non-Kashmiris cannot settle or own property in Kashmir. Hindu pandits have been driven away by ethnic cleansing. This does not compare with Tibet where China has been moving Han settlers in Tibet to change the demographics

Agreed 100%, Milind, well said.
And, why only Hindus ??? Shouldn't Buddhists, Christians, Parsis and other genuine patriotic Indians also have the right to buy land in Kashmir ???

Yes Angelo,

All Indians should be allowed to buy land in Kashmir. If you noticed, I said "India should have been a non-Muslim country". I did not say Hindu country. Besides there in only one law for Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians and Parsis. The special law is only for Muslims and this fact cannot make India a secular country by definition.
