The Tibet Card

Bikash Choudhury

 Apropos “dangers of Sino-Pak nexus” I entirely agree with the strategy of playing Tibet card. Buddhism had its origin in India and Indians keep Dalai Lama in high esteem and love him a lot; therefore, Indians have a moral duty towards Tibetan people and Dalai Lama. Our goal should be return of Dalai Lama to Tibet in his life time. I wish time will come when Dalai Lama would visit Beijing with Indian Prime Minister to directly negotiate with Chinese authority about his return and autonomy for his Tibetan people. As regard to Pakistan, my belief is “violence as State policy would always create more violence” and Pakistan is currently stewing in its own terror policy as a day does not pass without some incident of bombing or violence in some parts of Pakistan and on top of it its defense establishment has been attacked by home grown extremist twice with disastrous consequence. Rather, Indian Govt. is pursuing a pragmatic policy with Pakistan which is sustainable and yielding result. However, we can not afford to lower our guard ever.
