I would like to predicate what I am about to state with the fact that, yes, I believe Tibetans (as well as the ethnic moguls, hai chinese, and muslims that have lived in that territory for centuries)should be given their autonomy. as all peoples forced to live under the yoke of a nation state should have. That said, the call for the return of a dynastic monarchy is absolutely reprehensible. The vast majority of tibetans under the theocratic feudalism of the lamas lived life as serfs, slaves and landless peasants. Parents looked forward to haveing their first born child kidnapped and forced into a monastery where they were often molested. They had little or no autonomy. And ethnic minorities had no say in how their lives were governed. To idolize a theocratic system and its icons is hardly emancipatory nor conducive to establishing human rights. i must remind you that many of the "uprisings" and much of the lama's resistance have been staged and funded by the CIA. A few thousand monks, old landed aristocracy and some students hardly represent the millions of tibetans whose lives are considerably more liberated under the communist regime of the chinese. That said, conditions in the TAR (tibetan autonomous region) are being slanted in the favor of the han chinese. Mainly as a result of incentivized immigration of chinese nationalists. However this is a fight that must be fought by tibetans living in the TAR. Outside influence by western agitators and the lama are far more likely to result in the oppression of tibetans living in the TAR. we should fight for the liberation of all peoples from institutionalized oppression (ie government) starting with our own front door. Freedom now for everyone!!
