Though India had fought and continues to fight western colonialism and Gandhi even gave his entire life to get rid off and not preserve colonialism, Gandhi’s successors have given fillip to eastern especially Chinese colonialism as a result of which even sixty years after the formation of the United Nations there are large parts in Asia that do not have freedom and there still remain many remnants of colonial rule in need of decolonisation like Tibet, Manchuria, Inner i.e. Southern Mongolia, Eastern Turkestan, Yunnan and Guangxi-Zhuang.
In spite of new evidence surfacing about the political status of Tibet, India continues to wallow in old thinking.
To critically examine this and put a nail in the coffin of Chinese colonialism, Friends of Tibet is holding a panel discussion ”India’s China Policy- Need for an Overhaul” at the Annexure Building of the India International Centre, New Delhi.
The topic will be addressed by:
Prof. Bharat Karnad: Research Professor, National Security Studies, Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi
Dr. Mohan Guruswamy: Chairman, Centre for Policy Alternatives Society, New Delhi
Dr. Srikanth Kondapalli: Associate Professor, Chinese Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi
Dr. L.L Mehrotra, Former Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs will be the Chairperson.
