चीनको Ruling Class को दिमागमा कीड़ा परेको

Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama, is the leader of the exiled Tibetan government in India. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. Photographed during his visit in Cologno Monzese MI, Italy, on december 8th, 2007. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

दलाई लामा जस्तो मान्छे लाई आतंकवादी भन्ने चीनको Ruling Class को दिमागमा कीड़ा परेको नै भन्नु पर्ने हुन्छ। If the Dalai Lama wants to visit Tibet, as he does, he should be allowed to visit Tibet. No muss, no fuss. What's the big deal?

बुद्ध मधेस मा जन्मेको मधेसी। तिब्बत आजको मितिमा बुद्ध धर्मको नंबर एक गढ़। तिब्बत का बारे मधेसले अडान लिन्छ त। चीन जाए भांड मे।

China, Burma, Afghanistan: Future Members Of SAARC

चिनले मुख खोल्यो सार्क सदस्य बन्ने चाहाना

I don't take China at face value. The China of the future that I see is a China where Taiwan is fully integrated, where Hong Kong is not an island of democracy, but China itself has gone through political reforms and has become plural, where there is federalism, and Tibet is a state, and there is religious freedom. The Dalai Lama is the religious leader, but the Chief Minister of Tibet is duly elected by the people. I want China to keep growing at double digit rates. I am an admirer of the fact that China has lifted more people out of poverty than any power in human history.

Having said that, I think Tibet is very much part of South Asia. That has been true for thousands of years. And since Tibet is part of China, it only makes sense that China should be a member of SAARC. As should Burma and Afghanistan.
