Tibetan refugees in Nepal could not remain unaffected by the crushing down of protests in Lhasa.
Voices in agony resonated the streets of Kathmandu: Free Tibet!
Tibet’s sharing of its border with India, Pakistan, Nepal, Burma, and Bhutan makes it a strategically vulnerable landscape in one of the world’s most dangerously armed region.
Hence, China’s concern to control the Tibetan border can not be ignored by self-proclaimed freedom sloganeers from the West.
Some have even gone to the extent of demanding China be barred from holding Olympics!
However, China, too, can not escape from correcting its past mistakes of “ethnic & religious genocide” just by blaming the protesters of creating unrest.
Since the Dalai Lama has already ackn0wledged China’s sovereignity over Tibet, China must respect the cultural & spiritual autonomy of Tibetan people and negotiate with the Dalai Lama.
Free Tibet from Militarization!

Tibet is free; hence, it’s not possible for it to be freed again.

As long as the Han Chinese Communist cabal in Beijing is in power there is little hope that any sense, or even some semblance of accepted standards will prevail.
Little hope of a let up of the oppression, racist subjugation and exploitation of Tibet and its hapless people.
They will continue to plough their inane, by now well and truly hackneyed line, that Tibet was and always will be a part of China.
It appears utterly impossible to elicit any reaction or response from this depraved cabal, which would resemble even just slightly a human trait.
So calls for a dialogue, appeals for common sense, or restraint are falling, not on death ears, but will never even enter a mind that could possibly comprehend such rational behaviour.
Of course there is never any mention of the fact that Tibet was exclusively populated by a completely distinct race with a unique culture and its own sovereign government before the Han Chinese Communist hordes invaded the country.
The uprising must be seen in context of the most barbaric repression and subjugation of a people that were independent for millennia and have endured this tyranny for over 50 years without any letup.
Nor has the world stood up for the victimized Tibetan people, or shown any sympathy, but in fact has tacitly approved of this heinous crime in order to pursue lucrative trade with the most populous nation on the planet.
Every government has prostituted itself so as not to offend the tyrants in Beijing, for trade and the mighty $ is all that matters in this ‘modern day’ world.
Forget about principals, ethics or morals, the suffering and genocide is someone else’s, and there is no oil there anyway.
Realpolitik = Prostitution
This is the 21st century and the year this regime is allowed to host the Olympics, an event that is supposed to be in the spirit of freedom, cooperation, friendship and harmony.
But events all around China and particularly Tibet belie this illusion and the games must be a defining event for the oppressed people of Tibet.
If only the so called “free press” would live up to this nomer and report the truth and facts about the Chinese atrocities in all its starkness.

The Tibetans need to be freed. Its been done before: ex-Soviet Republics, East timor etc.
The Tibetans will achieve independence if they can maintain vibrancy, and a larger power like India or Japan is allowed to help them and take care of the Han Chinese expansion.

I really don’t know this: how many countries recognize Tibet as an independent nation free from China?
Why the people who look for business over their morality preach others on freedom?

Tibet belongs to China and once was under Nepal.
ठुला ठालु सधैं राम्रा, साना सधैं दास।
दासताको पञ्जाबाट मुक्त हुने आस।।
त्यही आसमा अल्झिएर छाडिहाले घर।
सम्झनामा तड्पिरहन्छु खुशी कहाँ छ र।।
अधुरा ति सपना सम्झी यहाँसम्म आको।
आफ्नाबाट टाढा हुदा बल्ल चाल पाको।।
कुरा बुझ्नु पहिले नै टाढा आई सकेछ।
ट्रैन अब लिक छोडि पर गई सकेछ।।…
यता उति हल्लिदैमा बैश ढलि गयो।
चालिस बर्से यो जवानि त्यसै खेर गयो।।
सबै खुसि सबै हाँसो भुल्नु पर्यो अहिले।
ति दिनहरु बापस पाउन कति कुर्नु मैले।।
पराइ ठाँउ पराइ माया जिउनलाइ गाह्रो।
मेरै गाँउ मेरै ठाँउ मलाई सधै प्यारो।।
बर्षातको झरि जस्तै बर्सिरहन्छ आँसु।
पिर चिन्तामा डुबुल्किदै कसरि म हाँसु।।
घर टाढा देश टाढा यो बिरानो ठाँउमा।
यो कविता लेखे मैले मरै देशको नाँउमा।
