“BUDDHA BEHIND BARS”
History leads to ‘now’ The United States of America is a federal republic liberal capitalist nation since 1788.
The People’s Republic of China is a sovereign narrow minded communist state since 1949.
Tibet was and always has been a remote religious Buddhist …… (Blank)………… Nation or state or both or none?
The Tibetan identity is grossly undefined since China’s armed incursion of 1950. Half the country is in exile in India and other parts of the world. It has been 58 long years since what China calls ‘liberating Tibet region to reunite with the Chinese ‘motherland’. Several major rivers have their source in the Tibetan Plateau (mostly in present-day Qinghai Province). These include Yangtze, Yellow River, Indus River, Mekong, Ganges, Salween and the Yarlung River (Brahmaputra River). Tibet is third largest fresh waters resource in the world. Tibetan plateau is rich in minerals and has some of the world's tallest mountains. Tibet is close to one third the area of the United States of America. It is strategically placed at the roof of the world from where any army has the strategic advantage to aim and shoot you in the head. But no country in the world has recognized Tibet as an independent nation.
The reason is simple; they never got involved with the politics and the economies of the world. Tibet has been a body of Buddhist doctrines and institutions. They were not a member of the UN. They were not a co-conspirator for America or Russia. They believed in their God king and Savior, His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. One third of the Tibetan population was monks and nuns. At least one from the family had to be a monk. In a plateau as peaceful as this there were no arms, and there was no one who knew how to use them. So, China easily entered and trampled them, grabbed their land, but they promised religious autonomy and control over internal affairs. The world still remained silent as Tibet had no written proof that it was a nation. In reality they were all bowing
