applesauce: who ask for you to hand over anyone?
If he is a terrorist as you have said then why you are not asking him to be handed over. Your hesitation can be used against you. Clear yourself and come up with a sound argument.
You are now nitpicking lines cause your accusation vis a vis Chinese sensitivity and DL in India has gone into dust. The holistic sense of my assertion is simply to snub the only one claim all Chinese typically make that India is harboring Tibetans against China. You have yourself supported my argument that he is not a factor to be in PLA simulations of war practices and any keen PLA watcher can tell you for sure. Like we say ''tel dekho tel ke dhar dekho'' See whats in oil and how it flows. Follow the money(foreign policy) if you want to follow the threat (military), no where in recent past China has invested military resources to curb would be uprising in Tibet rather they are busy investing in Japan et al.
If he is not a threat to China then why China should accuse India and punish on different issues sensitive to her (India). Bogeyman isn't it?
Why would you risk your diplomatic relations with any nation including USA if president is meeting with him?
1. No harm since there is no risk of back firing cause any sane nation would simply ignore the protest due to its low face value.
2. Lack of other powers (soft etc.) to project and to create diplomatic pressures/leverages thus DL good enough to inject guilt in other nations and threats of so called repercussions (trade, diplomatic etc).
3. Elephant's tusks for domestic exhibition.
Why would you challenge such high value package (an excuse) who is serving your 'a kind of power projection?
To answer your question i would say, when a MEA spokesperson draft a protest they do write it very carefully. Till today i haven't seen a single statement where DL was condemned but the nation. China can not order others to segregate him.
he is a proclaimed leader of Tibet he was actually the representative of Tibet a while ago in Beijing but then he turned and went up in armed the revolt failed and he fled.
also did i mention that technically the ruler(emperor) in mainland china is a rank above the title of Dalai Lama as the emperor is rank as a living deity

You can not establish relation between Tibet and China with this one sided generic imperial nonsense. Tibetan language, culture, religion was exported from some where else not China. How Chinese emperor was greater then rest of the humanity or his title, has nothing to do with if inferior legitimacy or status of DL. Tibet was a separate entity having relationships with Mongols and Indian kings as well, but only after 17th century Chinese started to Claim that Tibet was a under Qing administration which many Tibetans still disagree.
I do not want to go into this cause both parties have made different claims. Why he would revolt when Tibet was always a sovereign feudal monarchy and DLs were its supreme leaders. Treaty signed by DL to his disciple qing emperor was to protect Tibet against military invasions, not an instrument of Accession.
Also he might not be trained etc by india but he and his fighter were funded and trained by the CIA(admitted to by the cia) in the past and made their way into Tibet via india.

America offered help to India and India at the start accepted it. But timid India for not becoming west's proxy again, refused that help till today. 1962 war is testimony to that; when stakes were high and offer was more inviting.
who said push them back i already said they can stay so long as say these people refrain from running a separate(illegal by your own standards) government. or are you saying these people can do whatever they want because they are refugees?
not interested? have you not notice how they protest every time a government member meets him? that is far from not interested its just that china cant exactly forcefully take him while he is in some else's sovereign land.
They are not issuing passports or stapled visa's from Dharmshala.
''The govt in exile'' is a technicality not legality against China's claim of Tibet. India is not a signatory of United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. So to survive as a human and travel to other nations they need some de facto provision. Therefore there is nothing to give China sleepless nights about this. However what China is doing to Kashmiri people who own Indian Passport is a sheer hypocrisy and back stabbing. I reckon even Chinese immigration officers work with prejudice against India due to lack of proper information controlled by CCP. They (Tibetans) all are living like ordinary Indians facing poverty, unemployment, everyday struggle etc. Many wants to go back to China/Tibet cause they can not be as comfortable in India as they will be in China. But they love their religion and China has no place for their freedom.
They can do whatever they want withing the limits of their democratic rights, they are not assets like Taliban was once for Pakistan but liability for India. Tibet is yours and that the only thing you should focus on.
China has never recognized the British claim that India uses even Britain doesn't recognize those claims. and you speak of pin pricks while the only war between us was a direct cause due to india's forward policy and refusal to negotiate ( as determined by the CIA)

and as for your tibet as Afghanistan for china then you too should thank china for not supporting(and housing i might add) various Indian rebels like Maoist and others
''Forward policy'' another Chinese propaganda and myth. If Nehru was to be a preemptive strategist then things would have been totally different. Before India army started petrolling, Chinese were encroaching over LAC and our parliament was cursing Nehru day and night (on the record of Parliament proceedings), to do something he was reluctant to, cause Chinese officials were doing double talk and PM was optimistic.
China is already supporting many rebels through its proxy 'one and the same thing'' and India is pretty capable of dealing with them.
China can not afford bad PR from west like Pakistan can, cause west has its interest in Pakistan. However China can try its luck so that west can expedite its propaganda against China on supporting terrorism directly into India. West is the key. India refused it on previous occasion, see the difference. India snubbed CIA's offer (so they can now publish the report to blame it on forward policy?!) and you never had the offer.
its a matter of principle, obviously DL is no longer a military threat but just like in the boat captain case with japan, one man being sentenced does not equal japan getting full control of the disputed lands but in international politics if you dont voice your opinions and concerns its as if you gave in.
Fair enough,
But China's foreign policy is brute and over assertive, its like twisting of nickers without any good reason. They should come up clear that its all about strategic aspiration, it is all about this to me not sure about you!
again i will state that the DL probably did not instigate some of the things (like the protests) but non the less you gave no convincing argument that the CCP needs him as a bogy man rather than wanting him gone, nor have you made a convincing argument that the separate government should be allowed, they are illegal based on your own governments standing.
He is CCP's bogeyman for Chinese nationalist and an asset to bully around without the fear of fire back. its like ''Hathi jinda lakh ka mara sawa lakh ka'' An alive elephant values hundred thousand (100000) and dead hundred twenty five thousand (125000).
