Dalai Lama’s Birthday – Exile’s Anniversary

Policy in exile, local policy and Community in waiting for its country freedom

As leader of all Tibetans, when the Dalai Lama celebrates his birthday, that’s on a festival day, his people sing his name and cry their disappeared and tortured souls. Under a burning blue sky it sent symbols. The holly Tibetan man is moved with ceremony and set above the even most important guests. Talking of the latter, he’s a representative of the government but he is not a representative of the government’s policy.

I note because the guy shake hands with a Tibetan group that just been arrested at the border with TAR, furthermore, nearly all the Tibetans in front of him have been arrested by Nepali police, even further the government doesn’t provide anymore refugee cards to the new-comer nor it grants Tibetan born in Nepal of a Nepali nationality –which is unlawful. Nevertheless, as The important man of the Government for the refugee topic he’s a guest who declared Tibetans brethren of Nepal.

What’s worrying is that new measures rejecting a bit more Tibetans took place before the assembly election where Maoists were the winners. Maoist who may be said nothing about the question – that’s already not really reassuring- but as the new power they already criticized journalists and an official photo happened to be photoshopped…

As the Tibetans demonstrates their attachment to their native land, this guest can indeed underlined his love for their host because patriotism is a very important data of Asian Identity as well as one’s ethnicity.

Such facts help the Nepali double-faced talk, especially if you know that the Nepali people of Humla, Dolpo, Mustang etc. are of Tibetan culture and their dialects is nearer from Tibetan than Nepali.

Of course this contradicted situation is in part the result of a very active Chinese lobby at the same time as Beijing scolds the West not to intervene in its policy over TAR or Death Penalty. Do what I say, not I do…

To frame this, no better than the Dharamsala/Beijing talks which would have never happened without pressure from the West but where the Chinese side decided to hold the negotiations until the end of the Olympics, such an hypocrite way to avoid its promise to accept journalists in TAR during the International Event that it reveal the passivity of the Occidental Nations. That’s because photos and article from nowadays Chinese policy in Tar would go against the beautiful picture of clean Olympics.

In Kathmandu, the Dalai Lama’s birthday took place at the Srongtsen Bhrikuti Academy. Unavoidable was the Tibetan hymn, or the balloons holding the Tibetan flag in the sky with some pigeons and doves (same family), plus the communal rice meal and… sufferance.
While they heard the speech ladies started to cry. Later on they asked a photo with them and I. With the children’s translation we learnt that the lady on my side had her leg broken by a Chineses soldier.
It’s just like the doves, some of them stayed on top of the tents, not because they longed for their cage but in direct consequence of the overpopulation of the cage, those birds had their wing or leg badly injured. That’s what could be called broken symbols.

Sir James, whose wife works for the UN charity wing, noted.

After ceremony all teachers and volunteers headed for the restaurant.

Teachers on one side, on another the volunteers and the end of the long table the two headmasters, a settings which describes a certain hierarchy as well as the volunteers seen as guests – and parenthesis.

To be here since several month now I can specify that the teachers don’t mix much nor with the volunteers, nor the direction, two populations that make them uncomfortable.

As I go on with this, the lack of solidarity between schools reemerged this day.

But understand, It is not so much a non-willing that to protect its network. As Tibetan schools have no government help, they need not only kids’ sponsors but also sponsors for themselves. Those NGOs usually focus on one school. Up to the school to get a rich enough NGO to help with the building of the school, with the sport ground, the computer, internet etc.

In Other words this egoistic Tibetan behaviour is in reaction of a social structure in disarray, in Tibet, in Nepal

and internationally. As though the cruelty of China amplify the Tibetan patriotism while being a refugee, following UNHCR or a split Asia, just curse Tibetans (as well as all refugees in the world), an eternal curse. And there is also the whole world who sees Tibet only as a Shangrila, far from reality.

Somehow the Tibetan community try to say no like did the children by avoid superposing themselves with sufferance, but for the grown up the curse is already in progress.
China chews Tibetans on their soil that the all-powerful unique communist party sees as another piece of Africa. On this territory there is a mean of isolation by pauperism, to frame it, it is just like taking out original shoots and seeding GM instead. Imperialism goes on. And outside this territory the Tibetan refugees are trapped in a parallel world, without official country or I.D., trapped between a western vortex and the rejection of Asia.

Exile is a heart far from its stolen body…
As trapped the government in exile is in peril, a boat ashore. Via Second World War we know that such governments are re-conquest mechanisms, but in this case, neither is war nor any efficiency of UNO. While the whole world, 50 years ago just gave Tibet to China - That was an imperialistic share of the world which is still active today - Tibetan people should reinvents Tibet outside its boundaries, creates little Tibets and push the people to reactivate non-alignment and work to change UN for a real peace structure and not a controlled machine for a still unbalanced world.
