On this the 50th anniversary of the escape from China's Xizang province(Western colonials called it "Tibet") and went into exile in Dharamsala, the "political monk in saffron robe" is a "walking conflict" between burnishing and camouflaging his credentials in the West as a "spiritual" or "holy" man, committed to peace, harmony, non-violence and a proponent of "autonomy" and not "independence;" while on the other hand, his base of exile supporters in the West relentlessly pursue the path of separatism, secession, "mau mau" and independence.
This man talks the "A" word; but unfortunately he does the "I" word. Talk of "autonomy" is hollow when he and his base from abroad relentlessly sabotage, insult and pursue a "theocracy" not just in Xizang but in Sichuan and Gansu, with grandiose plans to carve out "Greater Tibet" by ethnically cleansing out and eliminating any other than the Theocrats and religious "fascists" who worship the faction of the Dalai Lama, one of many Lamaist factions.
From the looks of things, the Dolly's exile community, what little remains of it, in Dharamsala, and elsewhere in the West, is increasingly disconnected and disassociated on the ground in the heartland of Xizang. They talk east but they act West. Their base camp look east but in reality, it is a camp mainly supported by Westerners or "honorary whites" posing as Tibetans.
Compounding this is the fact that those Tibetan youths born outside of China, i.e. those descendants and offshoots from the fleeing "ruling class" of masters and slave-owners forced to flee to India and the West when revolution succeeded in overthrowing Xizang's backward "caste system" of masters-serfs under an oppressive feudal system..... they are today more "Western" and think and does like " the white man" rather than think and does "Tibetan."
These are not Tibetans in exile, but Tibetans in name but actually Westerners trapped in an Asian body.
Tibetan in their superficial veneer, in native attire, but really empty and bereft of its indiginous "Tibetan" culture or thought, these walking "monstrosities" called Tibetan youths, born outside of Xizang, in the West, are increasingly becoming "white" and corroding whatever residual "Tibetan" culture they have, in name and form. But not in substance. In Dharsamsala, the youth culture of drugs, dope, alcohol and sexual promiscuity have become an epidemic, replicating the sickness of and affliction of corrupting and corrosive "affluenza" happening in the West with its youths. Bongheads, dopeheads, druggies.... that's the bane of Western civilization as we know it.
Worse, those Western "fanatics" who worship the Dolly, as their "God" and spiritual deity are living in a fantasy world of "Shangri-la," a perverted naive notion about a society which never existed but in their own naive, spiritually void hearts and warped minds here in the West.
Consider what the waning and dimming New York Times has to say in today's editorial, with another trajectory aiming for their "fantasy" Shangri-la, masking the Dolly's "I" do while talking the "A" word. Click on the link below:

A man of peace? Gimme a break.
You don't insult China and the Chinese people; and do it by coat-tailing behind your Western white masters, and expect the Chinese people to passively sit by and do nothing.
With all the saboteurs, agent provocateurs, and spies from the West all hell-bent in destabilizing and casuing havoc and "luan" inside Xizang, in these past weeks, it is indeed prudent for Chinese authorities to tighten up security and deal with these saboteurs, agent provocateurs, spies.... all rascals, scoundrels, and charlattans hell-bent on disrupting harmony and causing "luan" not only in Xizang, but provinces like Sichuan and Gansu. This is an expansionist attempt to carve up China and threaten's China's sovereignty. No nation can allow it.
Imagine, secessionists in America clamoring for Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California to secede, and go the "I" route.
The 1.3 billion peoples of China won't stand for this about Xizhang, much more "Greater Tibet" gobbling up Sichuan and Gansu provinces. And the Westerners who are interloping on China, in the name of "Shangri-la" Tibet, have no standing nor have the right mind to hector or bash China when they themselves in their own backyard in the West don't practice what they preach about "human rights" and the much "vaunted" freedoms that they confer upon themselves but not others. What hubris. What arrogance. What chutzpah !
Just look at Amerika's prisons and see who are the incarcerated.:-(
