Do you think India should continue to support Tibet's independence?

India has supported the cause of Tibet since 1959. We have allowed the 14th Dalai Lama to stay in our country and run a "government in exile" in Dharmsala, Northern India. China is pressurizing us on border issues and are saying that India should recognize Tibet to be an official part of China. All this looks like a big political game to me. Should we just forget Tibet and work with China because China is an important trading partner of India and also a future superpower, or should we continue to support Tibet. What do the Tibetans want? Have u been to Tibet?

1. We should support freedom. Not criminal trading partners. For more, go to Anti-state.com
2. India does not deal with countries who oppress it's working class.China has been rightly accused of pathetic human rights violations.Tibet should continue it's quest for freedom and India should support them in it.
3. All coutries that are looking to profits from China have also aggrement about their terrible laborial situation and close main ecological disaster. Support freedom is try to keep humankind far from our primal roots. Choose between money and ecology and human rights never had been easy, for sure, but someone need to do it, once G8 are only concerned about money.
4. No....India should not support it.....Its not their bussiness anyway....
5. Its good that India keeps supporting the Tibetan exiles, but Tibet's days have been numbered... July 1 to be exact. This is when the new railway will be open, forever linking China with Lhasa. As it becomes cheaper for chinese to migrate into tibet, they will, and if ever later Tibet is given the chance to vote for its freedom, it will be majority Chinese immigrants. I have never been to Tibet, but I have met some tibetans, and there are mixed feelings about the relationship with China. Some feel strongly about independence, human rights, and the sort. But some argue that China has helped the Tibetans better integrate into the modern world, better education, better economic situation. I really don't like China's policy of forcing trading partners to agree to the "One-China Policy" which denounces Tibetan, Taiwanese, or Xinjiang independence. China's just so big and has so many people that it can produce cheaper than anyone else. Our western countries, the "beacons of democracy" of the world, would rather have cheap chinese products than stand up for the freedom of Tibet ("Xizang province of China"), East Turkestan ("Xinjiang province of China"), and Taiwan
6. Depends on what Tibetans want.
