Dharamshala, Oct 22 (ANI): Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Indresh Kumar has said that Tibet was never a part of China and the Indian government should reconsider its decision and review its policies concerning Tibet.
Kumar told the media here that after taking over Tibet, China had also grabbed the Himalayan region. Kumar said that Tibet must be looked as a distinct country and not as a part and parcel of China.'
He said: "We appeal to Tibet to take a decision if it wants independence or not. Tibet has to decide on that, but we support them".
He added: "If Tibet was a part of China, then the entire world knows the place by the country's name and not a region. If someone is from Himachal, Uttarakhand or any other place like Manipur, Nagaland or Kerala, then no one says he is from Kerala, but they say he is from India. ".
China has ruled Tibet with an iron fist since Communist troops marched into Tibet in 1950. It claims its rule has bought much needed development to a poor and backward region.
An estimated 80,000 Tibetans along with their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, had arrived in India in 1959 after an unsuccessful uprising against the Chinese rule. (ANI)

November 23, 2012 at 1:46 AMRSS support for Tibet should include alliances with Hindu, Taoist, and Buddhist elements in surrounding regions of indian border,the Himilayas in order to:
1)Augment Indian security with non-proselytizing and egalitarian societies in border and buffer terrritories comparable to the Hindu,Buddhist and Taoist streams
2) Augment RSS membership by inviting like-minded philosophical people ie hindus,buddhists, and taoist type philosophies who can also infiltrate border buffer regions and Tibet.
RSS should amalgamate members from all 3 major non-proselytizing philosophical relgions (Hinduism,Taoism,and Buddhism) These philosophies coincide in their general tendencies a combine to hint at egalitarian social aims upon which can be added RSS egalitarian aims such as non-caste, non-hierarchal and anti-nominalism. These tenets could be spread by taoist/buddhist/hindus sharing temples to make it more impenetrable to persecution whether it be of an official or other manner.United we are more formidable and come off as more tolerant which can only serve to expand and justify RSS objectives and standing!!
