A few kilometers to the north of the Indian city of Dharamshala, 200 to 300 Tibetan women and men are being trained in self defense by the special operations division of RAW, the Indian intelligence service. Tibetan students who join get extra marks at Indian schools as an incentive. New Delhis declared policy is to peacefully settle disputes with Beijing. This special investigation sheds light on Indias secret policy toward China, which is getting a RAW deal in Tibet.

ISLAMABAD, PakistanWhile the Chinese government is trying to sort out all its disputes with India through dialogue, the Indian intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has adopted a contrary stance on the directions of Delhi and is going all out to destabilize and defame China through a variety of plans and the recent wave of riots in Tibet was one of these plans, reveal the findings of The Daily Mails investigations.
The Daily Mails investigations unearth that RAW has established a terrorist training camp, 25 kilometers, north of the Indian border town of Dharamshala, a place where Indian government is hosting a so-called government in exile led by the wily Tibetan monk, Dalai Lama.
At this camp, RAWs Special Operations Division trains young Tibetan males and females about carrying out subversive acts and the use of small and big arms and ammunitions, self immolation and even suicide attacks on the pattern of Japanese Hara Kari and how to organize mob attacks on short notice.
These investigations indicate that RAW, under the cover of a so-called NGO, named Raksha (The Defense) established a self defense training facility at a small building at Dharamshala downtown, a few years back. The facility offered short courses on self defense, with a duration of six to eight weeks. In the beginning, only local Indian boys and girls were admitted to this institution and were trained about self defense tactics. However, with the passage of time, Dharamshala-based Tibetan youngsters were also offered admission. In the meantime, the facility was shifted from Dharamshala to some 25 kilometers to the north at a deserted place in the woods. It is learned that at the said facility there are some 200 to 300 young Tibetans now, getting Self Defense training with no local Indian students at all.
It was further revealed that all the Tibetans getting terrorist training at this RAW establishment are given 10 extra marks at government run schools, colleges and universities across India.
Despite the cover of an NGO, common people are not authorized to enter the camp premises and any aspiring journalist has to go through a complicated process to carry out a visit to the facility. The movement near the facility became monitored and difficult after a U.S. satellite spotted the camp with the presence of arms and ammunition dumps and other explosives and later this news found some place in a leading U.S. magazine, though, surely by mistake some time last year.
The Daily Mails investigations indicate that the activities at this terrorist training camp of RAW received a boost recently when the facility was placed under the command of the chief of RAWs Special Operations Division (SOD), Chotta Rajan.
Rajan is actually commanding similar camps in Afghanistan since 2001 but was given the additional duty of managing the Dharamshala camp as well. After SOD took full command of this camp, the number of both the trainers and trainees considerably increased. Our findings reveal that after being placed under command SOD, some female shooting experts, belonging to a militant Hindu extremist organization, Durga Vahini, were also inducted amongst the training staff at the camp.
In December 2007, SOD chief Chotta Rajan organized a Special Training Course on the snow covered hills of Dhauladhar Ranges.
At this sub-camp, young Tibetans were given special training for operations in snow covered areas and they were also trained to face the extreme climatic conditions during operations.
It is learned further that the number of registered Tibetan youngsters at this camp increased dramatically after some top RAW officials held meetings with the President of Tibetan Youth Congress, Mr. Tsewang Rigzin at Kangra. These meetings were held at Dharamkot, Dalhousi and New Delhi at different occasions during 2007.
It is learned further that the Tibetan Youth Congress was founded and is being comprehensively sponsored by RAW. The Daily Mails findings indicate that the basic aim of RAW behind establishing this setup at Dharamshala was to initiate an insurgency movement in Tibet to engage the Chinese government and then, at stage two, to initiate a comprehensive separatist movement in Chinas Xinjiang province through the terrorist East Turkistan Islamic Movement via Afghanistan and Pakistan (A special Investigative report over this issue would be published in The Daily Mail very soon).
The Tibet plan was initially a long term project. But last year, New Delhi ordered RAW to come up with a short term plan to tarnish Chinas image across the globe in order to jeopardize Beijings hosting of the Olympic Games of 2008.
It is understood that these directions from New Delhi came in comprehensive connivance of certain anti-China forces in the West.
Responding to this given task, RAW straight away moved its SOD and assigned the duties to the SOD Chief.
It is learned that March 10, 2008, was fixed as a target date to initiate the master plan, code named Operation Ashes on Snow. The training was launched on war footing and according to reports, from August 2007 to February 2008, RAWs SOD succeeded in preparing at least 3000 to 5000 young Tibetan Chinese, inhabiting in Indian territories to create trouble in Tibet.
They were trained in different groups with different methodologies and to operate in different fields. It is learned that they were trained to carry out large scale and small scale subversive activities, plain and bus hijackings, kidnappings, firing with small arms weapons, bomb making, bombing and also suicide bombing while training of outrageous violent protests and mob attacks and ransacking was part of the Common Training Program for all groups. According to some reports, the SOD officials carried out these training programs on the pattern of the programs that RAW used for the training of Maoist rebels in Nepal and LTTE militants in Sri Lanka in the 1980s.
It is learned that some 500 specially trained operatives were sent to Tibet in the third week of February 2008 while 2 senior SOD officials also infiltrated in the area in the vicinity of Tibet to monitor the functioning of the trained operatives.
These operatives were given different tasks, in accordance with their training programs, however, the first and the basic task for all the groups was to organize mob assaults, violent protest rallies and to carry out small scale subversive action. They were also tasked to generate more and more like-minded youngsters.
Back in India, the arrangements were made to organize protest rallies at Delhi and Dharamshala.
At New Delhi, in a bid to ward off potential Chinese anger and show Indian neutrality, Indian authorities ordered the police to baton-charge and disperse the protesting Tibetans when they tried to attack the embassy of the Peoples Republic of China in New Delhi.
However, on the other side, the Superintendent of Police of Kangra, the Indian district that is home to the town of Dharamshala, was ordered to escort and accommodate the anti-China rallies by Tibetans in his area.
The Daily Mails findings further reveal that television crews of a leading U.S. and a famous British TV Channel, along with some select correspondents of British, American, French, German and Japanese news agencies and newspapers were flown to Gaggal Airport of district Kangra through special arrangements just one night before the protest rallies were held at Dharamshala.
It is believed that this is just the beginning of the RAW deal for China via Tibet and the trained operatives are bound to carry out more operations in different parts of China in the coming few months. RAW Operation Ashes on Snow is over. Many more are in the pipeline.
