... The most noticeable feature of Tibetan culture prior to the PRC is the despotic feudal serfdom that enriched the ruling monk class and kept the rest of the Tibetans as poor serfs, barely better than livestock. If you wish to argue that Tibet culture is similar to Indian culture, you're right that as both shared a form of caste system for much of their history.

No-one, except for the monks, mourn for the loss of serfdom in Tibet.

I am and was not talking about their political system.

 

[chauism]

Not realistic.



No wonder.

I always think if those guys really want to succeed in their goal they should get serious themselves by starting issuing passport to its so call citizens for travelling instead of using someone else and claiming that they have annexed the land they are right now which is in India at this moment, and start from there then take back the land they want for independence like those guys did with the Republic of Texas.

Their past political system was an integral part of Tibetan culture. The same way you can't define American culture by ignoring its political system.

u r wrong. I did not imply 100% same. Within India there is no 100% similarity. They were and are much more Indian. But they are not one bit Hans or Chinese.

I haven't heard anyone claiming that Tibetan culture has zero Chinese influence before. That in itself is impossible even excluding the PRC, Qing and Yuan dynasties. Prior to the Tibetan Empire, the region has been in contact with both Chinese and Indian cultures. Even before that, it's general consensus that the first settlers in the Tibetan region migrated from what is now Northern China.

Why don't you tell me since when the so-called india (actually, before the british colonists, there has never been a united country called india) has governed tibet???

I am here to wait for your evidence. As for culture, tibet is buddism and india now is hindu dominated, where exactly is the sharing of culture?

If you go back to 2000 years ago when you still have buddism and claim india has spread buddism over the world. Well, China was also under the buddism influence, do you claim China as well???

@ephone

India has more right to Tibet then you Chinese. So dont tell your crap here of unproved and ccp made historic lines... those ccp lines change as per the desire of a few men running the ccp..

Tibet should be part of India due to sharing of so much of culture.. Indians and Tibetans are as close as two swords in one sheath and Hans and Tibetans are as similar as North and South Pole.

Tibetan freedom movement will succeed: Lobsang Sangay.

Tibetan Prime Minister-in-Exile Lobsang Sangay today expressed hopethat the Tibetan people's aspirations will bear fruit and the Dalai Lama will return to Lhasa during his lifetime.

Stressing that their movement was based on the Indian ethos, he said, "The Tibetan freedom movement is a 'Made in India' concept as the exiled people of Tibet have adopted the Indian culture and democratic values, with a thrust on non-violence in their pursuit of independence."

The Tibetan people have adopted the tenets of Indian Constitution drafted by the legendary freedom fighter Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar to elect their government in-exile through elections and as such believed in democratic right of equality in their path for freedom, Sangay said at a seminar on the topic 'Role of Tibet in Future Geo-Politics'.

He said that his and the Tibetan people's faith in attainment of freedom of their country has been buoyed by a series of events across the world that has brought political changes in several countries.

There was a spring revolution taking place in many Arab countries even as Myanmar has released the iconic leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi from imprisonment to take a small step in the direction of setting up a democratic government, Sangay said.

Earlier, South African leader Nelson Mandela successfully led an agitation to end apartheid in his country while languishing in a jail, the exiled Tibetan leader said and exuded confidence that the people of Tibet will succeed in their endeavour for freedom.

Sangay expressed hope that the 14th Dalai Lama will return to Lhasa during his lifetime upon attainment of freedom of Tibet and said that his country will welcome the Indian people with open arms and the visitors from India will not be required to carry visa and passport for pilgrimage to the holy Kailash Mansarovar temple.

The Tibetan PM-in-exile attacked China for its "expansionist aspirations" and said that Beijing has set up 23 military divisions in Tibet and laid railway lines and five airfields there as part of its military strategy against India.

Besides building air and railway infrastructure in Tibet and Nepal, China has constructed a port near Sri Lanka to monitor activities near Kanyakumari, he claimed.

However, unlike some countries who may be scared of China's emergence as a global power, the people of Tibet were not bothered at all and all that they aspired for was independence of their country, Sangay said.

He also sought to run down China's economic development as devoid of democracy in contrast of India's development as a global power on the foundation of democracy.

Sangay also thanked the people of Bihar for lending moral support to the Tibetan freedom movement and recalled that the great leader Jai Prakash Narayan had supported their aspiration and solicited support from the people of the state.

India is just a geographical term. At best India is a artificial country created by British. Do you think you call your country "India", then you can have everything related to the word "India"? Otherwise, I suggest you change your name to "Asia".

Tibetans are a branch of Chinese in terms of "Genetics and Language", which is the root of a race. As for the little influence from India, modern Tibetans are gradually getting rid of the backward parts of their culture.

There is no such thing as Han China. Hans are from north east part of China they have no right to rule Xingxang and Tibet.

 

[shuttler]

The above is admission of attempt at destruction of Tibetan culture by Hans and imposition of their culture and demographics change.

The Tibetan culture is at its bloom in India and on a decline under force by ccp and Hans in Tibet, and the resultant struggle by poor peaceful Tibetan people for the rightful Independence of their country.

that b/s! Xizang culture is very much preserved and the folks livelihood is getting better!

indians destroy Buddhism. China preserves it and expands it beyond our borders

Our folks in Xizang have their own TV channel, making their own programs.

Do Muslims in india have their own TV channel?

Your all claims are false. Many Tibetans from Tibet send their Children to India to learn real Tibetan Buddhism in Dharamshala. I have even seen the videos of PLA destroying Buddhist relics in Tibet in 1959.

Fact: if the folks in Xizang are so hateful of where they live the majority of them should be living in india now!
Buddihsm in india is dying. In China it is prospering! The exiled folks and monks are misled by D0$$ar lama and cheated by indians!

Whether anyone likes it or not , but Tibet will never be freed from china. Although the logic behind chinese occupation of tibet is quite dubious but independence is not possible . This freedom struggle won't get them anywhere . Just learn to live with china and strengthen your position by educating yourselves and reach the top posts in judiciary , administration etc. Then they can act and decide how they want china or tibet to like and work for the betterment of their region .
