Nitin,
I did not have the stamina to read the full text of N. Ram’s article. All I could think of in reading this article was how much he must have been paid for this job by the Chinese government and by the size of the article whether he was paid by word count? It was as if when he shared the initial draft back to his patrons in China … they kept sending it back with the points that he missed… It was a hodge-potch of all the Xinhua and Beijing Review had been spewing about Tibet. All one needs to look at for sources of his ‘facts’ is to look at some issues of “China’s Tibet”. What he is included is essentially summaries of all their articles.
Thank you for tackling some of his ridiculous notions…
Unsubstantiated charges like the Dalai Lama’s “considerable wealth” invested in the west comes from his buddy Subramaniam Swamy.

For once, people like N. Ram forget that China had some wonderful plans for India in 1962. Maybe they planned on extending the same courtesy to us as they did to Tibet. Maybe N. Ram’s idea of progress is throwing all the poor people out of the city to make it look pretty enough for the upcoming Olympic Games.

[...] in Calcutta who speaks Punjabi. There is a shameless plug for The Hindu (okay, to be fair, the N Ram era probably hadn’t begun in 1987). There is a wholesale substitution of plot with morality play. [...]

Time to rename “The Hindu” as “The Chinese Poodle” ?

Thank you for dissecting his work so well. This was no doubt a much needed response to his writing, especially since ‘Letters to the Editor’ with one’s thoughts on the piece would never get published.

Not standing up for Tibet has been one of the most shameful things about the transnational elites -people who ga-ga over Palestinian ‘rights’ suddenly fall silent and slither away if you mention Tibet.

No protests in the street against ‘occupation’.
No fiery speeches at the United Nations.
No editorials against ‘imperialism’.
No resolutions at NAM.

The world suddenly behaves in a most atypical way when it comes to Tibet.

I suggest this -let those bloggers who would like to see a free Tibet put up a common, nicely designed ‘Free Tibet’ graphic on our blogs. The UN and other transnational busy-bodies are not going to do anything about Tibet.They are more interested in opposing Bush. It is only passionate individuals who can keep the issue in the world’s attention.

Someone should put an advertisement “Free Tibet!” in the Hindu and expose the fake commitment of these commies to freedom of speech.

According to these harlots India has to forget 62 invasion but China can keep playing politics over Nanjing. Isn’t visit to Yasukuni Japan’s internal matter? And something that Chinese should “grow up” and “get over”?

China occupies Tibet, Xinjiang(uyghurs) and inner mongolia. But the “anti-imperialist” Hindu willingly conscripts into the Chinese scheme to silence democratic dissent which furthers Chinese imperialism. N Ram’s newspaper is a disgrace that keeps prospering in our southern corner. BJP should have permitted FDI in media, atleast that would’ve decimated these comrades of totalitarianism.

Nitin –

I thought this was really well done. It is unfortunate the Dalai Lama cannot be critiqued on his actual faults, instead of the lies the CCP spreads about him. For example, the Chinese contention that pre-invasion Tibet was a desperately poor, brutal place were most likely accurate — in 1993, Alexandra David-Neel wrote that “thibetans” [her spelling] living in the outlying provinces actually did yearn for the return of Chinese because their Tibetan lords were so capricious… but, as you rightly say, that would have meant bringing in the ROK government under Kai-Shek, not Mao’s totally inhuman massacre.

Though Kai-Shek was no picnic, his brutality never even skirted the lower bounds of Mao’s horror. To apologize for the genocide the Cultural Revolution imposed on Tibet is, simply, evil. What kills me as an American is when the Chinese compare their campaign in Tibet to my own country’s conquest of its natives, right down to committing wholesale genocide and rounding up the remainders into camps and reservations. The big difference is, we know view that period in our past with a tremendous amount of shame; China does not need to continue brutalizing an entire race.

it is such an irony
The Hindu= Anti hindu
nyways n ram like many other Indian communists will only rest when India is an integral part of china under the great communist party banner , and The Hindu as their main mouthpiece…instead of the Peoples daily

China’s occupation of Tibet is not imperialism and colonialism because Tibet “historically was always part of China.”

But Israel’s “occupation” of Palestine, which also was historically part of the United Kingdom of Israel, is imperialism and colonialism.

[China] “guarantees religious freedom to all citizens and regional autonomy to ethnic minorities”…

Hai Ram ! Had to read that part twice.
