I remember reading articles in Frontline praising the worker’s paradise that North Korea is. These guys are beyond ridiculous. But I am curious if there’s any evidence out there that the communist parties are arm-twisting Congress on this issue. I won’t be surprised if the Congress didn’t need any arm-twisting.

the Indian government also is struggling with the fact that many Tibetans here, especially youths, have grown increasingly militant in favor of independence for their homeland. The Dalai Lama, however, endorses greater autonomy for Tibet under Chinese suzerainty

How scary it is for India to have so many disgruntled youth , especially the ones who feel they don’t belong to India. What happens if the Dalai lama’s influence wanes & theres still no deal ?

When will we learn, look at what the Nazi’s did..nobody said or did anything till it was too late. Countries invaded, cultures destroyed, genocide practised, All it takes is for one to stand up and be recognized..at this point in time it’s Tibets turn..she will be decimated and her people scattered..but she will prevail. we should all hold our heads down in disgust at what we have let China get away with. Yes all countries have their skeletons in the closets, but none so blatant as China.

I am 10 years old and wonder what the world will be like..When China does become a superpower..

India needs to first “stand up and defend certain inalienable rights” of the majority of its own citizens who live in conditions that any tibetan or chinese would find deplorable and dehumanizing, before it lectures other nations on human rights.

As for the equivalency between India’s stranglehold over Kashmir to China’s over Tibet, a better comparison is India’s rule over the tibeto-burmese northeastern states. Its sheer hypocrisy to condemn China over Tibet but give India a pass over its own occupation of the northeastern states.

India is in the process of becoming a great power. All things considered it’s development track as a nation is following a normal pattern after independence. The next 20 years of it’s progress will focus on infrastructure particularly in areas of governmental efficiency and transportation. As for it’s geo-political standing in the world, slowly it’s gaining a weight of importance.

India and China probably will have major conflicts in 2040-60.

blockquote>no. they died, or we killed them. Who is this “we” Razib? Since when did you become a white european? Its amusing to see a colored immigrant like you identify with the whites who did those things to the natives americans

This is a good topic of discussion. What is the relationship of the Indian immigrant who swears fealty to the nation founded by the original settlers? Can he reject the sins of the original settlers yet share in the fruits of their toil?
