China,India and the Olympean drama!

Today the olympic torch was relayed through India ,more specificaly New Delhi,India's capital, amidst unprecedented security!I personally know no Tibetean and neither would most of you.But we know they subscribe to Buddhism,a religion which has NON-VIOLENCE at it's core.In fact the Indian Prime Minister described The Dalai Lama as the "greatest living Gandhian".Whether we like Alfred Nobel or not,the Nobel prize is highly respected and Dalai Lama was the recepient of the Nobel peace prize.Hence the inference would be that the world community has recognized the Spiritual head of Tibeteans as a pure peace monger.But the Chinese officialdom portray Him as otherwise,nary any evidence,except that the Tibetean youth living in China have definitely used the hosting of the summer olympics in China to highlight their greivances.We Indians have had experience of the Chinese (sic)friendship,(refer back to the Hindi-chini Bhai Bhai days) and trust them as an insect would trust the spider!Outwardly for diplomatic reasons we act otherwise.Yo,people of other countries ,note that chinese are very smart cookies and whenever you visit China,either for olympics or for business/pleasure/vacation you will be shown the buttered side(shining face) of their country and you naturally come away impressed.Try and ask to visit any interior states(of your choice) of the country and then you will know!!Phew! a long post (sorry),but i had to vent it out.Sadly the days of confuscian wisdom in China are gone!See,Peking has become Beijing!Ciao,until my next post.
