INDIA'S HOLD ON THE TIBETIAN ISSUE

                                            Tibet claims that china treats them as a minority while China claims that the Dalai Lama has a hand in all the happenings. The truth is that Tibet has been fighting for years for their independence,and this is the first time it has become such an international affair.China is not ready to taken any further step since the Olympics is to be held in Beijing.The other nations are not ready to back off from china keeping in mind thie socio-economic relations that had existed for years.

                                           Now it would be interesting to see India's hold on this issue.The present goverment has said that it considers Tibet to be a part of China and it won't in any way help or support the tibetian supporters.This was evident in the way they stopped the emigres from marching,leading a silent protest in India.

                                           But the oppositon party considers that India should shed out fears and should support the tibetians ,for what they are suffering is not from inferiority but Genocide.The media has also flashed news that India should back up the Tibetians.

Now let us review what would happen if India supports Tibet.

• The event would just boomerang back to India.The Chinese government has held a firm position in accepting that the Kashmir problem shouldnt be taken to the Un and it is not of international affairs.
  
• The other thing is that we had a pact with China about our Sino-Indian border conflict and at this time if we do anything against them then it would really turn up to be turmoil.
  
• We have earlier given refuge to the Dalai Lama long back.But India doesn't need to poke its nose at this point into this affair.Even this is not going to affect the Political parties in any way.
