Tibet refugee crossings slows

[Lux de Veritas]

The most likely reason for Tibetan not crossing illegally to see Dalai is because standards of living in China improve, not because of crackdown.

China’s crackdown slows Tibetan refugee crossings to freedom in India - The Washington Post

Once, more than 2,000 Tibetans a year made the dangerous crossing from China through Nepal to Dharmsala, the small town in India that is headquarters of the Tibetan government in exile and its spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

But that number has fallen dramatically in the past six years, with only about 100 arriving so far this year. Refugees have fled the high Himalayan plateau since the Chinese took control more than a half-century ago, and the 3 million or so who remained have endured forcible relocations, restrictions on Buddhist worship and, in some cases, torture and arrest. Those who have escaped China describe increased restrictions on movement, more surveillance and a rising climate of fear.

I think it is just a reflection of the contrast of lives in India

One thing, among others, that is different between Tibet and Dharamshala is in the latter, they have organised many beauty pageant events there

They have also built a cricket ground in the mountains
I wonder how many monks are interested in it other than using the venue for the Indians to advance their own political agenda

and of course it is home to the Dalai's HQ

Tibetan villages in Tibet are generally clean....They have really "adapted" to India.

The dirty city of India are Hindu land. The Sino-Tibetan cities like Imphal, Gantok, Leh are cleaner than Hindu one. The communist land like Kolkata are reasonably clean as well, despite all these places are less developed than many Hindu land.

The communist party keep the streets clean by murdering all the cows. The Hindu fume.

Do Tibetans in India eat beef?

I wonder if or not the Indian govt treat our Tibetan bros equally in the Dharamshala? How is the human rights situation there? Have they got citizenship? What's their main revenge and income sources? Can they travel freely to whole India and settle anywhere in India? How are their education and career situation?

I have so many question marks, who knows the details? Can give me some information? Thanks in advance.

There may be something we can do about it if the situation with Dalai Lama is not a thorny issue and that is also why the AIIB comes about

AIIB is not only for China as many of members have said.

The Bank is set up also to help finance many of our competing countries like Vietnam, India et al in upgrading their living standards and industrial strengths ...thus improving their own competitiveness per se!

In addition, some of the infrastructure projects can easily be awarded to Japan, S Korea, UK, Germany ...etc due to political reasons

For Indian standards, that's great development.
But not apparently for the so called refugees.
No wonder D'Lama wants to return.
