Ughairs are followers of a religion (not sect) which is largely condemned rather accepted by the majority Muslim schools of thought whether Sunni or Shia. They cannot be regarded as Muslim at all. In fact the Ahmediya/qadiani schools of thought are banned in every major Islamic country. Secondly the Ughair riots are more of political and ethnic tensions over economic development rather than religious. Thirdly the area of Xinjiang, Baluchistan along with bordering central asia is an important international energy corridor of the future. As such involvement of foreign terrorist hands cannot be ruled out.
China also has a large population of Hui Muslims which outnumber the Muslim in either India or Pakistan yet there had been no tensions what so ever.
The Economist has a tradition of bashing China, I am not surprise at the bias in the article.
You don't see them making claims on autonomy based on Islam but you do seem them claiming Caucasian mummies found by Chinese archeologists as "their ancestors". Despite DNA tests proving they are no such link.

They are making this push based on their ethnic identity not based on Islam but they want American and western help.
Their original homeland was today's Outer Mongolia, later their tribes absorbed some caucasoid elements from various Indo-European tribes.
But no way in hell they were the only aborigines in Xinjiang, even Han Chinese have a longer history in that place.
Secondly the Ughair riots are more of political and ethnic tensions over economic development rather than religious.
I'll disagree with plastic goods being low tech. I'm taking a polymer class right now and anyone that says plastics are low tech are obviously not chemists or chemical engineers. The amount of programming, chemistry and calculations that go into making even 1 plastic toy from petrochemicals to playset is astounding.

it is however well known that indians are helping the Mongolian separatists in the Inner Mongolia province of China from Eastern Mongolia.

interestingly just after Grandpa's visit to Pakistan, AP published report condemning China for taking some Uighur suspects back from Cambodia and not letting the world (which means US and India) know their present whereabouts.
I'm not surprised by the economist, but I am surprised how eagerly the Indians pile behind the bandwagon despite how the British made them their servants for 2 centuries. You'd think they'd have enough self-respect.
Unlike you, we are not haunted by our past. Yes India was conquered, but then who was not. History is full of nations conquering each other; England was conquered by France, France by Germany, China by Japan, China by the Mongols, US by England, England by Rome, Iran by the Arabs.. the list is practically endless. The difficulty is when you start terming it as a national shame (ya, loosing face is big thing in China) & start whipping up emotional hysteria on the basis of it (the communists did it for their propaganda purposes & it seems to have been imbibed in the national character of you lot) . Shows a narrow mindset & insecure personality. Thankfully in India we don't look at things with such a narrow minded perspective. Yes, the colonization was a tough period but we overcame it with the concept of non-violence, a feat that is recognized the world over.
I am sure all this will seem bull crap to you lot & not that i expect you to understand. This point is being made to make a point, for i know that this will be lost in all the immature comments that will follow this post. Enough said, feel free to troll.
