A state guest will arrive shortly in India. There’s a person this guest doesnt like. So the Indian government, obviously under great pressure from that guest’s chamchas in India, serves notice to this person to stay out of the limits of the city in which he has lived all his life. If he doesnt comply, he’ll be deported to the place he originally came from. Why? Is he a criminal? A terrorist? A murderer? Mentally deranged? No. Is he a violent protestor atleast? No!

Who is this person? His name is Tenzin Tsundue. Why is he so unwanted? What crime did he commit or is going to commit? He’s going to protest. Protest China’s illegal occupation of Tibet. Is he going to throw stones? Is he going to use Molotov cocktails? Is he going to break the windows of buses? No! He has never taken to violence. Nor does he intend to. He advocates nonviolent protest and in fact, has always protested nonviolently before.

But for some reason, he’s banned from protesting. If he protests, he’s warned, he’ll be deported to Tibet. Imagine the injustice. Decades back, he and his kind have been denied the right to live in their own land according to their will by the marauders who are somewhat heavily named Peoples’ Liberation Army (liberation my ass! If you ask me, it should be named Other Peoples’ Occupation Army.) They however found shelter in a far more tolerant and inclusive society called India. And now, it looks like this tolerant society is beginning to show shades of intolerance, thanks to the government which is held hostage by the proponents of an intolerant ideology, an ideology they share with the guest, whom these proponents hold in ultra high esteem (Karat must be getting reddy to lick Hu Jintao’s boots. Karat and Yechuri might actually be fighting on who’ll get to lick first.)

Amit Varma puts it beautifully:

The Chinese government is not happy about a dissenter in India, so they get the Indian government to crack down on him. (Read it all.)
