A New Generation of Protestors

Tibetan Independence: PART III

A new wave of protests are beginning in Northern India against the dictator-like rule of Chinese President Hu Jintao.

When the Dalai Lama was exiled in 1959 he began preaching from a new base in Dharamsala, India along with over ten thousand supporters who helped him form a de-facto capital. According to the Voice of America website "Twenty-seven-year-old Jamphel Yeshi became the first of this year’s self-immolations to take his life on Indian soil. He ran through the streets of New Delhi ablaze on March 26, just days before the scheduled arrival of Chinese President Hu Jintao. Activist posters plastered around Dharamsala celebrate him as a “martyr.” "


With such a growing number of supporters for Tibetan Independence it becomes only a matter of time before China's President Hu Jintao is forced to release his hold on the small country.
