The Tibetan Imbroglio

The current uprising by the Tibetan monks and the general population in Lhasa is the outcome of a long standing vexed problem. Ever since the annexation of Tibet into the fold of China, the reports indicate massacre of over a million people. The Chinese has a regimented form of government and popular voice has very little relevance or impact. The Chinese has a stake in keeping Tibet under tight control because of their ever expanding desings of territorial ambitions against India. In a situation like this, India may find it difficult to formulate policy, as any attempt to suggest may be termed as dabbling in internal affairs of another nation. It is therefore appropriate that the UN and the international community may raise their concerns and restore peace and tranquility in Tibet. The Beijing Olympics may serve as a catalyst for amicable solution.
