Oh, there's leadership. Big time. The initial protests were co-ordinated. Let's also not forget two things
1) There is a substantial drug trade in Tibet
and
2) 1000 people walk into India every two weeks
Those things don't happen out of the blue. There is co-ordination and planning and despite all that hoopla about Chinese border brutality, the border is leaking big time - both ways. People are leaving and drugs are coming in.
So, the idea that the Tibetans are unable to fight is contradicted big time.

The Tibetan or SFF cannot just walk across into Tibet without the GoI's say so.
If they do so, they will upset the fine balance of Indo - China equation and GoI is very sensitive about the same.
If India is upset, the Tibetan will not longer enjoy the GoI's hospitality.
Therefore, the question of Tibetans doing things as they feel like is suspect!!
It must be realised that the Tibetans are no fools!!
In a totalitarian regime where there is the Thought Police and where it is encouraged and rewarded to report on your neighbours and you family, if indeed the Dalai Lama could coordinate the protests, it indicates the deep hatred for the Chinese. Deep hatred.
Why do I say - deep hatred?
It is said that was serfdom in Tibet before Communist China ''liberated" them. There is also no doubt that materialist comforts have come to Tibet.
Therefore, if life is such a Heaven, why should anyone complain?
Indeed, if some complains inspite of such wondrous achievement,then there is something that is seriously wrong.
There is. For the better or for the worse, the Tibetan refuse to sell their unique identity for lucre!!
Therefore, in such a mindset, there requires no coordination, it requires the repression of a unwanted regime and a alien culture!!
If it was so heavenly in Tibet, then why should one abandon his home and hearth and flee into an uncertain and alien future i.e. run away from Tibet ??
