Recently, a friend of mine sent me a link to "Free Tibet" Orkut campaign. I thought a little about it and then accepted the invite eventually. So going back and pondering a little more, I was like, "Why did I hesitate the first time?" Do not all people deserve the right to live a happy, peaceful life, in their own land. Particularly given the Tibetans have one of the most docile, peaceful culture that can ever exist in the civilized world. I thought for a second, wouldn't this be double standards on my part for the Kashmir issue. But thinking further, this is the fact, what is happening at Kashmir is sheer terrorism. There is no curbs put on the common man from practicing what he/she wants. Frankly, India is a democracy (the Largest Democracy to brag) and nothing would prevent it from going the other way. The People will have every right to practice what they want sans jihad. But with Tibet, it is a totally different story. Given that India has been the home to more than half the Tibetan expatriates for a better term (than Refugees), I feel we should take a driving force to provide the Tibetans what they need- to get back their homeland, which they so deserve.
Frankly, Chinese Communism sucks and I can only say the United States, whatever the F they have been doing in promoting democracy around the World, have no balls to go in and put a strong foot in there.
