March 1959- 60 Years ago, Lhasa rose up against the Red Tyranny of Peking.
His Holiness managed to escape, and the struggle for Freedom continues.. The land is occupied, but not the will of the people.
Tibet shall be free!

60 Years since arrival of His Holiness The Dalai Lama into India at Khinzemane on the McMahon Line on 31st March 1959.
India has always, and will remain resolute against tyranny of Communist Dictatorship of China, irrespective of Track 1, 2, 3 diplomacy, sabotage or espionage.

The Tyranny of Communist Dictatorship of Red China has been a threat to peace in South Asia and the world at large, since 1950s.
Here the Arrival of His Holiness The Dalai Lama at Tezpur, later in April 1959.
India took it upon herself to help the God King of Tibet

Of course, Summer of 1959 was rather harsh for the Indian nation, with the unprovoked attack by Chinese troops at Longju, and later in Hot Springs. New Delhi went out to help the God King of Tibet, His Holiness The Dalai Lama & his people.
As it maybe, Indian Govt did its duty

It is rather unfortunate, in 2018, Govt of India lacked the spine to stand up to the tyranny of Communist Dictatorship of China, and put out that ghastly note:
Foreign secretary wants bureaucrats and senior political leaders to skip Dalai Lama events http://indianexpress.com/article/india/govt-sends-out-note-very-sensitive-time-for-ties-with-china-so-skip-dalai-lama-events-5083430/

In the larger view, it was clearly Govt of India kowtowing to Communist Dictatorship of China, because the so-called Wuhan Summit was round the corner.
Today, we wonder what happened to the Wuhan Spirit, and how will Summer 2019 be - between New Delhi and Peking?

In 2017, His Holiness The Dalai Lama met the last surviving member of the 9 Platoon of 5 Assam Rifles, which received and escorted the God King of Tibet from Khinzemane on 31 March 1959.

It was unfortunate, the actions of the Govt of India in March 2018, had to invoke such harsh words from a former Foreign Minister, because the Foreign Office kowtowing to Communist Dictatorship of China was in bad form. https://twitter.com/YashwantSinha/status/973467359213072384?s=19
Today, the hydra headed Monster of China is out there in the Tibetan plateau, and Summer 2019 might be rather too hot for some, in some parts, for lessons history are seldom learnt.
