Mussoorie: Tibetan youth, chanting slogans like ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, held a bike rally in support of the Indian soldiers deployed on the border. The rally which was held in Mussoorie also demanded a boycott of Chinese products. It is reported that the Tibetan groups in Dalhousie also held a rally in support of the Indian soldiers, along with Mussoorie. These rallies were organised to mark the National Unity Day.
India Tibet Cooperation Forum, Regional Tibetan Youth Committee and Regional Tibetan Youth Congress organised these rallies. The main objective was to show respect for the Indian Army. At the same time, the Tibetan youth participating in the rally informed that the aim of the rally was also to expose the Chinese atrocities in Tibet and to create public awareness in the Indian population for a boycott of Chinese products. The organisers informed that one more objective of the rally was to draw attention to the fact that it is China, who is responsible for the Coronavirus pandemic.
A few months ago, Nyima Tenzin, a Tibetan soldier from Special Frontier Force (SFF) was martyred during a conflict near the Line of Actual Control. India has taken special cognisance of the sacrifice of this soldier of Tibetan origin. The Indian jolt to China and the martyrdom of a Tibetan soldier has become a major motivating factor for the Tibetans around the world. This has given new energy to the agitation of the Tibetan people against China, and it is receiving increasing support even from the Indian population.
At the same time, the participation of the Tibetan people is seen to be increasing in the protests being held in the United States, Canada, the European countries, including the United Kingdom, as also Australia and Japan. The Tibetan issue seems to be coming on the anvil, once again. Since the last few months, the demand for independent Tibet is also gaining ground. A few months ago, Dr Lobsang Sangay, the chief of the Tibetan government in exile, had appealed that the India-China border should be referred to as India-Tibet border.
