Why cant india help Tibet.?

Question

India is next door to tibet and they are similar culture .

Answer 1

India knows Tibet is part of China. Besides Kashmir and Punjab want to be independent, too. India is smart minding her own business.

Answer 2

In turn who would help India !!!!

Also if one state of India wants independence will that be ethical and would any one come to help that part !!

Answer 3

IMO question should be why world/ UN/ USA doesn't help Tibet.

In similar conditions, when Iraq annexed Kuwait, it became a major issue and Iraq had to pay a big price. But same type of action can not be taken against China for obvious reasons.

India has its own problems to get involved in Tibest's affairs.

I feel pity for the poor, simple Tibetians. They are peace loving innocent people who have been driven out of their own country, or forced to live as second grade citizens. It just indicates that despite the seeming progress & civilization, we still believe in "might is right".

Answer 4

tibet is not a sovereign country but part of China.  we maintain relations with independent sovereign countries and not with their provinces whethe automonous or not.  If there is unprovoked stae terror, we may raise matter on international forum for safegusrding human rights of affected people. it is for govt. to see whether such necessity exists.

Answer 5

As much as I would  prefer a free Tibet, when China annexed Tibet India was still colonial and unable to stop it.  It was not their fight.  It's been 50 years and has now become the status quo.  India and China have already fought several border skirmishes over that 50 years.  If they were to get involved now it would result in a major war.

Answer 6

India has its own problems

they truly need to focus on their problems.

and they would not win

and they are not a violent country

they have never waged war on anyone throughout all of history.

they are one of the only large countries that can say that.

Answer 7

because officially china owns tibet

and india doesnt want to go to war with them, I dont see why not though both of their populations are way too high

Answer 8

Here are the True pictures of what taking place in Tibet ：

（Cited from Mar 19th 2008  LHASA From The Economist print edition）

Rioting began to spread on the main thoroughfare through Lhasa, Beijing Road (a name that suggests colonial domination to many a Tibetan ear), in the early afternoon of March 14th. It had started a short while earlier outside the Ramoche Temple, in a side street close by, after two monks had been beaten by security officials. (Or so Tibetan residents believe; the official version says it began with monks stoning police.) A crowd of several dozen people rampaged along the road, some of them whooping as they threw stones at shops owned by ethnic Han Chinese—a group to which more than 90% of China's population belongs—and at passing taxis, most of which in Lhasa are driven by Hans.

The rioting quickly fanned through the winding alleyways of the city's old Tibetan area south of Beijing Road. Many of these streets are lined with small shops, mostly owned by Hans or Huis, a Muslim ethnic group that controls much of Lhasa's meat trade. Crowds formed, seemingly spontaneously, in numerous parts of the district. They smashed into non-Tibetan shops, pulled merchandise onto the streets, piled it

up and set fire to it. Everything from sides of yak meat to items of laundry was thrown onto the pyres. Rioters delighted in tossing in cooking-gas canisters and running for cover as they exploded. A few yelled “Long live the Dalai Lama!”

For hours the security forces did little. But the many Hans who live above their shops in the Tibetan quarter were quick to flee. Had they not, there might have been more casualties. (The government, plausibly, says 13 people were killed by rioters, mostly in fires.) Some of those who remained, in flats above their shops, kept the lights off to avoid detection and spoke in hushed tones lest their Mandarin dialect be heard on the streets by Tibetans. One Han teenager ran into a monastery for refuge, prostrating himself before a red-robed Tibetan abbot who agreed to give him shelter.

The destruction was systematic. Shops owned by Tibetans were marked as such with traditional white scarves tied through their shutter-handles. They were spared destruction. Almost every other one was wrecked. It soon became difficult to navigate the alleys because of the scattered merchandise. Chilli peppers, sausages, toys (child looters descended on those), flour, cooking oil and even at one spot

scores of small-denomination bank notes were ground underfoot by triumphant Tibetan residents into a slippery carpet of filth.

During the night the authorities sent in fire engines, backed by a couple of armoured personnel-carriers laden with riot police, to put out the biggest blazes. By dawn they had also sealed off the Tibetan quarter with a ring of baton-carrying troops and stationed officers with helmets and shields in the square in front of the Jokhang temple, Tibet's most sacred shrine, in the heart of the old district. But they did not move into the alleys, where rioting continued for a second day. Residents within the security cordon attacked the few Han businesses left unscathed and set new fires among the piles of debris.
