I saw People's Daily correspondent saying on Times Now, " There is no need to protest for freedom during the Olympic since Tibet is an integral part of China" I ask very simple questions to him. Are you free to speak, write, and express what you feel even in your own country? Do you even know the 'real' (not defined by China) meaning of Freedom and for the people by the people theory? Let me admit, I do not even consider him to debate this large issue.
It is nothing new that Amir Khan has no shame for taking just a wrong stand without worrying the cause of crores (at least 5.5 Crores Gujaratis) but worrying for the cause of 1.5 Lacs and many times worrying just for his own publicity. While I am writing, it is my emotions, somehow stopping me to write anything bad for Tendulkar as I owe him many cheers and shoutings I did for TEAM INDIA when he exhibited the best of the Cricket and won games for every one of us. But even with many emotions can I ask, how can you run/march over thousands of massacred dead bodies with the Olympic torch? Your level of sports icon should have avoided the tourch is my personal opinion sir.
First time I have seen sportsman openly and vocally standing up for a cause (which is not flashy or glamourous) but a cause for freedom seekers. Bhaichung Bhutia is standing up today for many homeless; The Tibetans.
When Govt. India show red eyes to the peaceful protesters. It shows that we have not developed enough tolerance for getting a true and dynamic republican or a democratic nation. I am also against illegal and forceful stand by Foreign Minister to curb protests and a warning to many of our Atithis (Guests) to shut their mouth against China. I say illegal stand because the apex court of India has stated in 1991 "Govt. can not prevent from staging peaceful demonstrations". Shouting slogans, burning photos are not violent ways of protest (source: this week's Sunday sentiments, HT).
Most Asian countries have already bowed to Giant Dragon - who always claims Arunachal belongs to them since ages. Lets check 'em in short.
Singapore, " Supports Chinese Policy……."
North Korea, " Inalienable territory of China………."
Myanmar, " Internal Affair………….."
Japan, " Basically a domestic………"
Thailand, " Internal affair……."
Vietnam, " Govt. of China will take action…….."
Pakistan, " Concern with China's sovereignty…….."
Sri Lanka, " One China Policy…"
Do we need to stand a part? Let the readers decide.
Before I take a pause, does any one really get a solution by a violent protest or bloody struggle? NO. NEVER. Evidently, LTTE hasn’t got a solution in SL; Maoists in India are not serving any other purpose except harming badly the lives of many innocents; look at Pakistan and Bangladesh – they have been thrown two decades back by their own children; misguided fanatics are just blowing up themselves in the middle of Baghdad or Kabul for no reason and sadly ending up and shedding the blood of their own thousands of people; Sikh movement did not serve any purpose except the life of Mrs. Gandhi and their own Sikh people in Delhi; No battle field gave India a much needed freedom except diplomatic moves by many freedom fighters including Sardar Patel, Gandhi, Tilak and many more. Neither Godhara(Train burning) nor Gujarat riots except earning a shame for every Indians. Examples are endless to say that what ever-happened in Lhasa was terribly wrong and should never be repeated. Therefore, I strongly condemn the killings of innocent Chinnese by Tibetans.
Peaceful protests by none other than Tibetans will bring the Independence some day I believe. Don’t go too far, Gandhi or Nelson Mandela technique should work against dragons too. Piece of advise to Tibetians - Make some friends in both China and Lhasa (Gandhi made some friends in UK and in India and diplomatically it worked, didn't they ?).
