Free Tibet, Our Right: Tibetan exiles

[Nirvana]

Mumbai/Dharamsala: Echoing a song in the movie "Rockstar", slogans like "Free Tibet, sadda haq" and "Free Tibet, Our Right" by Tibetans filled the air in Mumbai Friday as the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer opened in theatres.


They were venting their ire against the censor board`s order to blur the words "Free Tibet" from the Tibetan flags shown a sequence in Imtiaz Ali`s musical thriller.

"It`s was a symbolic protest against the decision of the censor board`s decision," Dorjee Tseten, students for a Free Tibet-India (SFT) national director, told IANS.

SFT is a Dharamsala-headquartered group of the Tibetan exiles.

Dressed in T-shirts supporting Tibet and Tibetan flags, a group of Tibetans gathered outside the Cinemax in Lokhandwala in Mumbai to stage a protest. Later, they also watched the film.

The song "Sadda Haq" was filmed in the Norbulingka Institute near Dharamsala. Following the censor board`s directive, the film`s director blurred the words from the flag. This has disappointed thousands of Tibetans living in India.

Tibetan writer and activist Tenzin Tsundue, who also participated in the Mumbai protest, said: "It was an injustice with the exiled community whose brothers and sisters in Tibet are facing repression from the Chinese. It was an occasion to highlight their plight."

"Rockstar" is the journey of a musician who leaves his happy life to achieve success as a singer. The film ran into controversy after a scene showed fans waving free Tibet flags as Ranbir sings the song "Saada Haq".

A delegation of Tibetans from Dharamsala met censor board CEO Pankaja Thakur in Mumbai Wednesday on its decision.

"Unfortunately this single opportunity to see a `Free Tibet` banner in a mainstream Hindi film has been banned," Tseten added.

Angry Tibetan activists have already staged rallies across the country.

The Dalai Lama along with many of his supporters fled Tibet and took refuge in India when Chinese troops moved in and took control of Lhasa in 1959. He then headed a Tibetan government-in-exile which never won recognition from any country.

India is home to around 100,000 Tibetans.

Beijing is quite sensitive to the issue as it sees that the usage of the flag indicates separatism.

Tibetans only protest by burning themselves. Nothing they do can provide any real challenge the Government.

President Dawood of Free Kashmir on the other hand, he is looking for some payback for the tens of thousands of Muslims that have been butchered in Kashmir and also in Gujarat.

India has one of the largest populations of Muslims in the world, how long do you think they will allow oppression by the majority Hindus before they start blowing up your cities? Oh wait... they already do that.

Free tibet movement is fast becoming a raging fire...rather than a passive movement. I suspect this has a lot to do with the new leadership.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

Yes Muslims brotherhood of Xinjiang.

Xinjian, Tibet, Inner Mongolia will all get freedom from the oppression of Han.

LOL, ethnic minorities make up a miniscule proportion of the Chinese population. And all those provinces you mentioned are Han-majority.

Whereas India has one of the largest Muslim populations on the planet. And is already one of the biggest targets for the global extremist movements.

 

[Kiss_of_the_Dragon]

Yes Muslims brotherhood of Xinjiang.

Xinjian, Tibet, Inner Mongolia will all get freedom from the oppression of Han.

Haha...we can take that...thse people are more Hans than real Han...some time we blame ourself and our children to be too much westernezed

The Muslim population in India, is growing much faster than the Hindu population.

They will turn from the hundreds of millions they currently are, into close to a billion one day. It is inevitable.

The ruling Hindus will not allow that, and it will most likely degenerate into a massive civil war. With Pakistani nukes in the balance, waiting for an opportunity to free more of their brothers.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

I am not a little indian like you, so no don't have to resort to that. Poor little indian with an inferiority complex. Boo hoo.

We honestly don't care about India's stance on Tibet, since China gonna break India into pieces in the next 20 years.

So it doesn't matter about the opinion of a nation that is going to cease to exist.
