Once again, the Tibet movement has become a public talk for the world. On March 10, the Tibet supporters demonstrated in the Tibet capital Lhasa and in many other countries whereas the natives of Tibet were celebrating the 49th anniversary of the revolt that took place against the Chinese control over Tibet.
The demonstration in the capital Lhasa became violent. As a result, the Chinese soldiers, present there followed the offensive policy and fired at the unarmed demonstrators. The Tibetan demonstrators correct toll is not yet known as the Chinese Government is well known for its strong policies to deal with the demonstrators.
It is said the media house was not allowed to gather all the facts. After many days of this incident, when there was an international pressure, the Chinese Government allowed the international journalists to go to Lhasa.
The Tibetans religious leader Dalai Lama and the ousted Government of Tibet have been taking asylum at a place known, as Macleodganj near Dharamshala in the state of Himachal Pradesh in India. Despite it the Tibetans have been provided with privileges so that they can easily earn their livelihood, Whereas China does not like this cooperation and help being given to Tibet.
But in spite of it, India following its policy of universal brotherhood is continuing its support to the Tibet movement and at the same time is improving its relations with China. India has always given its silent and moral support to Tibet and it will continue doing it. But India had never added fuel to fire because of this movement.
As India has got freedom by following the Gandhian principles of truth and non-violence, in the same way India expects Dalai Lama, the leader of the Tibet movement to follow it. Not only this, Dalai Lama himself favours peace, non-violence, love and fraternity that he is known among the few peace messengers of the world.
Dalai Lama condemned the violent scuffle occurred on March, 10 in Lhasa, between the Chinese army and the Tibetan demonstrators and did not say even a single word to encourage the violent demonstrators.
Despite such a big incident Dalai Lama advised the Tibetan demonstrators to oppose peacefully and in a non violent way, Whereas China is holding Dalai Lama responsible for inciting these demonstrators. The Tibetans demonstrate every year against the Chinese Government to liberate themselves from the Chinese rule.
