Tibet and The Torch
April 17th, 2008 Roshan Posted in World |
Back in MCC, the Tibetans and their more active sympathisers were handing out pamphlets talking about why China shouldn’t be allowed to host the Olympics. It’s too late for that, and I think the Olympics will give everyone a chance to put some heat on China.
Anyway, the real sport I want to watch over the next few days is NSG + Chinese Commandos vs. Rest of the World. No really, I hope it’s telecast live for the period of the run, a few breaches, it’ll be a good show. All that security, for a flame, in a country where people die of the cold. Absurdity is much.
Do I sound callous? It’s because Tibet is a lost cause without armed revolt, and considering it’s China we’re talking about, I sympathise but I have no hope.

India has no spine. The government, in accordance with its foreign policy of doing the dullest things possible, did nothing to help Tibet.

As cruel as it may seem, they may have actually done the right thing. It is in our interests to pacify China considering the border disputes over Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin.
It’s tough being the weakling in a fight.
