New Delhi: A day after the Dalai Lama advocated a middle path on the Tibetan struggle, a group of younger generation of Tibetans has come out with a different position.
The group called the Tibet Youth Uprising has called for modification of the Dalai Lama's middle path approach. They also expressed disappointment with the spiritual leader's opinion that China should hold Olympics.
In fact, the younger generation of Tibetans in India is holding protests not just in McLeodganj, but in other parts of the country as well. Protests were organised in Delhi and Bangalore on Monday against the Chinese crackdown in Lhasa. Monks as well as Tibetan students joined the protests
The younger Tibetans say nothing has come out of the Dalai Lama's middle path policy over the last two decades.
“The younger generation is becoming more restive and we hope the middle path policy of Dalai Lama is modified. We are just getting sympathy but no concrete action from the world,” Tsewang Rigzin of Tibetan Youth Uprisings says.
And similar is the sentiment in Karnataka as well, which has the second largest population of exiled Tibetans after Himachal Pradesh.
“Our brothers and sisters in Tibet don't have the right to speak their minds,” complains one of the exiled Tibetans, while another adds, “The Chinese shouldn't be allowed to host the Olympics because they are the biggest violators of human rights in recent history,”
