The following was reply to a post in Waterwatch. cm
If there is merit to the ancient adage that ' Charity begins at home', then may I suggest we start a similar, but even more vigorous campaign to force Indian Govt. to start a SINCERE negotiating process in Assam with the ULFA for example? If we can be so caring about Tibetan freedom aspirations, why can't we for those who are even closer to us,in Nagaland, in Assam , in Kashmir? Somehow Avaaz's zeal seems to be driven less by concerns about human rights of Tibetans than a thinly veiled need to beat up on the Chinese on grounds of Indian nationalism, as could be easily surmised from its similar campaign during the Burmese crackdown on its protesters while remaining mute witnesses to India's own suppression , often brutal, in Kashmir and in its NE holdings, unable to utter a word defending the human rights of those who are far closer to home. Had to say it like it is! If only our intelligentsia could have risen to it, India's own problems could have been resolved long ago. Now it holds the world's record on the longest running low-intensity warfares within its own holdings, while singing praises of non-violent resolution of such conflicts thru dialogs. cm ( I am an ethnic Assamese) PS: I am ALL for Tibetan freedom as well as for Taiwan. Always have been, always will be. But I can't stand the hypocrisy that goes around in broad daylight.
