Caste system is not a part of Hinduism... none of our religious scriptures mention it. It has been an unfortunate association with Hinduism thats all. It was formed as a part of the ancient societal practices in the sub-continent.
Hard to draw an analogy here. I feel what is prosecuted in China is religious freedom (we all know about govt sanctioned places of worship and govt sanctioned preachings).. thats the State interfering in the Subjects religious beliefs. In India the state does not impose any sanctions, but there...
What you are saying is possible, there are several self interest groups based in the west who are quite capable of funding. I could give numerous examples here, but that's for another topic. I guess a similar structure existed in the Tibetan region as well... very similar to what you described...
I doubt he has any political ambitions at this stage of his life.. please spare him and let him enjoy his sunset years. What you should be worried is that this resentment is now coming from within the people themselves and by just blaming everything on the Dalai Lama, you are making a joke of...
Dalai Lama has condemned the acts of self immolation himself, so to believe that he is instigating others is same as falling to propaganda news. If you understand the Tibetan culture and some aspects of Buddhism, you will realize what is forcing these young Tibetans from self immolation.

A pity you call your own citizens cockroaches and rats. They are still humans... have we lost humanity and stooped down to such lows. True muslims or not... who are you to decide?
Is the term southie or northie also a racial slur? ... If we start categorizing every single name used in India to describe someone from a particular region, we would soon find hard to converse... North Eastie... sounds tacky...
Although most of us have accepted certain names (or name calling)...
@Mods... should correct the title head. It is misleading.
Good job done by Delhi Police to nab the guy who was trying to flee. One of the few times, when they have acted swiftly. Hope the criminal gets the harshest of the penalties.
May Paimana's soul rest in peace. Condolences with her family.
From my personal experience interacting with the Chinese and Japanese where Buddhism is quite prevalent, followers did tell me that Buddhism is a gift of Hinduism and that Lord Buddha was born a Hindu.
The beauty of Buddhism is that you can be a follower of both Hinduism and Buddhism.... it is...
