CHINESE ON BUSINESS VISABy: Aneek Chakrabarty | Thursday , 5 Nov '09 0:10:02 AM Reply | Forward I am not going to talk too much, but trying to come to the point straight. We are a country of One billion plus. We have enough human resource to handle our needs. So why do we need to bring people from China to help us. May be I am not that smart the need of India. Can someone help me understand? It is like digging canals to bring crocodiles.

Never be scared with China.By: Varghese Joseph | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 9:50:36 AM Reply | Forward Is there any other place where China has eyed? Just not listen to these attackers. India, go strong. Never fall into such foolish traps. India should act stronger in the international forum against China. Jai Hind Bharat.

Look in the mirrorBy: Chin Chinchu | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 8:45:59 AM Reply | Forward Ma Zhaoxu has to look in the mirror to see who is to blame: His masters have attacked India, oppose India in every forum in the world and provide financial, military and moral support to enemies of India and Ma blames Dalai Lama! May be Ma is a desciple of Quereshi of Pakistan.

TibetBy: Raja | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 8:14:31 AM Reply | Forward I grudgingly have to disagree with the the consensus here. Tibet had been a subordinate and protected by China for many centuries before the British invaded Tibet through their colony India in 1904, forcing the then Dalai Lama to flee the country. After India won its independence in 1947 the British empire lost its influence in Asia, and China took Tibet back, while the American CIA supported the Tibetan insurgents in their fight against Socialist govts. Tibet to China is like Kashmir to India. Now, despite Dalai Lama's suuport for a peaceful resolution to the Tibet issue, the Chinese consider Dalai Lama's affinity to the Western Powers (US, UK etc..) and his efforts to free Tibet as a threat to its Sovereignty. Considering the widely prevalent anti-Chinese theme reverberating in Europe and US, and consequently, in the news medias in English speaking developing countries, their concern that Dalai Lama is further demeaning their position in the world is not too hard to understand.

TIBET IS AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRYBy: J.N.Mahanty | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 14:01:21 PM Reply | Forward The statement "Tibet to China is like Kasmir to India" is not only incorrect but also malafide.Tibet, for centuries has been historically,geographically,culturally, socially and ethnically an Independent Country till 1959 when China forcibly occupied it, forcing Dalai Lama and his disciples to flee to India to save their life.Whereas Kashmir, historically, geographically,culturally, socially and ethnically has been an integral part of India. In 1949 the Ruler of J

More preciselyBy: chris | Thursday , 5 Nov '09 0:45:10 AM Reply | Forward . . . in 1950 the Dalai Lama signed a treaty which effectively reunited Tibet and China after less than 1/2 century of separation caused by the downfall of the Chinese emperor. When the Tibetan nobility realized that China was not going to respect their feudal privilege as had been the tradition in past arrangements, Lhasa got a bad case of "buyers remorse". It took little time for the Lhasa government to start up an anti-Chinese alliance with the American CIA. The result of this allaince was the failed armed uprising which forced the Dalai Lama and his royal coterie into exile. What government wouldn't arrest someone who brought in the CIA to fight them?

China ovr Dalai LamaBy: Prem Sadani | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 6:05:30 AM Reply | Forward Dalai Lama should realize not to venture in mission which will jeapardize Indo-China relations. Unfotunatley, India has suffered immensely because of asylum given to Dalai Lama by Nehru who lacked foresight. At that time, none of the Budhist country offered to accept Dalai Lama though himself being a Budhist. History is replete with stupid actions by then rulers who have made generations that followed to suffer. China-Pak friendship is due to India's stupidity in giving asylum to Dalai Lama. How much India has suffered because of that is anyone's guess.

Hurting Sino-Indian relations - my footBy: Chanakya | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 5:01:29 AM Reply | Forward What Sino-Indian relations?1. China illegaly occupying Indian territories in Aksai Chin, Part of Kashmir (fully Indian) gifted to by Pakistan for the past 5 decades2. Supplying all armaments/nuclear secrets to Pakistan and even testing the Pakistani nuclear bomb for them in China3. Circling India with their string of pearls ports/defence establishments4. Opposing Indo-US nuclear deal5. Opposing India's entry into security council6. diverting Brahmaputra and constructing dams and preventing water to India7. Accumulating nuclear missiles against India in Tibet (could be used only against India)8. The thousands of border violations.................The list can go on and on and on.......On the other hand can anyone,including the Chinese state one honest friendly act by China towards India - ZILTCHWhat good relations and damage are the Chinese talking about??

China and His HolinessBy: Ghamandi Singh Arya | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 4:03:48 AM Reply | Forward India is a great and a powerful democracy and His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a respected guest of India can move where ever he desires. Chinese can howl but there is not much they can do. India is ready for any eventuality and thus the trip of His Holiness must go ahead at full steam ahead. I am sure people like Prakash Karat are pained as their beloved China is humiliated.

let china yell in vainBy: renni | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 3:55:52 AM Reply | Forward china has nothing to do with Dalai Lama's visit to arunachal pradesh.Since Dalai lama is living as a refugee in India he is free to go anywhere in India if Indian Govt. allows. India should stand behind him and give him all our support to show the world India is not the same as the rest of the world. our values of humanity should be exemplery. china's outcry should be gone in vain. let us do something even the most powerful country in the world couldn't do.....

The fallen robe of terror and stupidity.By: Patalipuram | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 3:42:23 AM Reply | Forward Modern India has been grilled very hard by myopic politicians of neighbouring countries, whether it be Pakistan or China; even though we do not claim the best ones ourselves at most of the times in our own history. Pakistan tried every trick known to crooks of modern and mediveal times, with covert Chinese blessings. What happened...it's own people are killing each other...and it's sanity has been lost. The robe of evil (terror)has fallen to dust, and the administration busy trying to survive and avert potential N disaster. We have much better expectations from China, they are known to us like the back of our own hands from time immemorial; and we have respected each other for millenia. We know what it means, when it comes to harping against Dalai Lama or Tibetans in India or elsewhere. It is not about us; it is all about China's own intellect, it's own history in it's own eyes. We are not pleading or being arrogant; but we do not wish that China ever wears the fallen Paki robe !!

Birds of a featherBy: Chris | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 2:46:54 AM Reply | Forward It is really hard for me as an American to tell the difference between how the Chinese government presents itself and how the Dalai Lama's government presents itself. To believe either Beijing or Dharamsala would take massive stupidity, in my opinion. Beijing's faults are obvious. On the other hand, why is it that the press in free countries never points out how hypocritical it is of the Dalai Lama to claim to be a spiritual leader above politics on the one hand, and then to travel around criticizing China on the other hand. I would be embarrassed to privately exhibit the amount of hypocrisy that the Dalai Lama revels in flaunting on the global stage. This American hopes that the peoples and government of the wonderful subcontinent of India only become more aware of (and dismissive toward) the idiotic rantings of any of the politicians of the Sino-Tibetan societies.

Echo of Colonial argumentaBy: Satindar | Thursday , 5 Nov '09 1:33:59 AM Reply | Forward Donot forget that similar arguments were used to defame Mahatma Gandhi by the British (colonial) politicians during India's struggle for independence.

Dalai LamaBy: Dr. Deo | Thursday , 5 Nov '09 0:16:37 AM Reply | Forward I see no hypocrisy in the way the Dalai Lama carries himself around the workd.After all, he WAS the the (supreme)spiritual leader of the erstwile FREE Tibet till he had to flee in 1958. He has, more than once, said if Tibet becomes free of the Chinese yoke he will agree to a democratic governed Tibet and he will he happy to have a non-political roll. But as of today, he has little choice than to do both potical and spritual duties.You're right, Beijing's faults are obvious. Dalai Lama' scritacal view of China is understandable. He had to leave his homeland and his life was under threat.He has been in exile sine 1958.
