It’s so petty and so mean but that is what power politics and territorial ambition is. One of the world’s biggest spiritual leader and a Nobel Prize winner is homeless and in exile from the last four decades and the world does nothing...no body wants to upset the apple cart per se and no one has the guts other than lip service.

When you see the Dalai Lama and Tibet all you can do is cry in anguish – a man who stands for peace and strides the human domain like a colossus like Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi is powerless. His talk of reconciliation is only a word and nothing has come out of his patience and from walking the middle path. His people are getting impatience and the world watches…

What worse that a country like South Africa refusing to give him a Visa till the world cup for football is not over and done with. Is China really the opponent or is it the world itself? Can we even imagine that South Africa the country that has seen so much of misery and apartheid being practiced is now doing the same thing.

Is it not a joke that a winner of the Noble cannot get a Visa for no fault of his except that he wants peace and an honorable land for his people in their own land? Is asking for your right not justified?

He still has hope and belief…how much nobler can one get? Where are all the torch bearers of democracy and human rights and why is the world accepting this status quo where the entire demography of Tibet is being slowly and surely cannibalized? Is this not a case of cultural genocide?

The Palestinians will fight...they have the right...they will be stifled because Israel has the might and the backing of the powers that be…The Dalai Lama will not fight, even though he has the right yet they are being stifled by the Chinese Military and Economic might with the backing of the powers that be...

Will the Dalai Lama die heart broken, his subjects in exile, his culture gone to the dogs and the Noble becoming his Cross and the World watching and weeping...crocodile tears?
