Dalai Lama"s actions reflect more of alienation from China than of affection towards India. As China"s control over had Tibet had weakened during days of Mc Mohan survey, its only practical for him to consult Tibetans to finalise the survey. This means because the China"s control over Tibet had weakened, the Tibet administration had asserted its control, which is natural happening in any part of the world that when the central power wanes, regional power gets its influence back. This has happened is worlds history, even in Indian history, proof is that present day Afghanistan was once part of India.
Its only after the the UN is formed that it became unpolitical to talk about not changing the political boundaries. So PRC being UN member and considering the historical facts should legitimise Mc Mohan line and not derive any mileage in repeating that the line is illegitimate and always protracting the dispute. |
