Keeping order during the Olympic torch relay to make the whole activity may be finished smoothly doesn’t necessarily stand for the support to CCP and its crackdown in Tibet. What happened today in India only shows how responsible Indian government and its people are and their basic respect to the feeling of Chinese people.

Many Tibetan were protesting during the torch relay. How to protect citizen’s freedom and pursue the interest of country at the same time, Indian government showed our Chinese a very good example today. Considering the facts that India has more than 200 nations and various kinds of religions, it is really hard task for Indian government and people to make balance among various interests and demands. I think I begin to understand why Indian is always so proud of their democracy. Well done, Indian.

Compared with CNN, Indian media IBN reported the whole activity more objectively. Surprised most Chinese, including me.

There was no involvement of ordinary Indian people in the activity. The roads were closed. Indian women in the airport are so lovely and cute.

In Chinese board, many Chinese posted one by one “we should be the friend of India”, or something like this. No kidding.

I know almost all Indians in this forum hate to death what China/CCP has been doing to Tibet. No problem, let’s continue our debate. But I do feel I should say thank you anyway.

Ordinary? So the people who were involved were extra-ordinary? You mean the Government people are superior to me? THis is not CCP China, this is India, even our spineless genius Prime Minister isnt superior to me, just an elected official.

Thanks for the note of appreciation. I would think that the majority of Indians here have a problem not with China or the Chinese people per se, but rather with the Chinese Government/ CCP.

Now lets get back to the fight.

A minor quibble Ying, India has more than 200 nations???.Oh by the way chinese are great people with history and civilisation,its just that CCP grates on our nerves.

Ray

Ying,

It was kind of you thank the Indians.

However, we are sorry for ourselves since we are also looking like a police state.

The 3.5 km route was guarded by 20,000 paramilitary and police. That is a huge security per square inch.

In fact it was much higher than what is deployed for the Republic Parade over a 20 km route where VIPs and Presidents of other countries are also present - and all for a stupid torch that has lost its value!!

India may have ensured that there was no incident, but instead of the Torch being a Flame of Unity, it became a Flame of State Power!!

Govt offices even though they are 2 kms away was locked so that none could get in or out from 1 PM to 6 PM. Windows were sealed and the whole route had no one but the Torch, the runners and the Security!

Who were they running for?

A vacant Delhi?

What did they achieve?

The Tibetans who protested were nowhere near the route.

In fact, there were No Indians even near the route!!

It was like a graveyard at midnight!

Empty and Stark!

A small correction - India does not have 200 nations.

The Union of India and its members states are not a product of ancient annexations either!!

You should not get surprised about the Indian media or what the Indians do - as I have said earlier, we do NOT hate the Chinese. We have great respect for them. What we do not like is the CCP reprehensible repression!

Apples and Oranges!!

We have even greater respect for Chinese food

Maybe... The Indian government will avoid the reprisals France will have to undergo, for sure. They're clever (or more cynical, or both), but are they more "respectfull" ?

About respect and people, what about the basic respect to the feeling of Tibet's people ?

Should I applaud ? What a good popular, enthousiastic, friendly and peacefull spirit has been shown ! Oh, excuse me, Oympic Games have turned into a big economic deal and a natiolanist show, I had forgotten. Yes, with this point of view we saw order, order, and order. It was perfect. (Still waiting for the feeling of the Indian people, but who cares ? Show must go one.)

Yes it was almost like a chineese govt run affair only the 15000 police used werent plainclothes and no one had to worry about being arrested and whisked off for re-education for 3 or 4 years w/o a trial

Berlin 1936= Bejing 2008
Two oppressive states whoose press/propaganda machines have blinded a people

Didn't Russia ever host the Olympics?

Agreed. annexations of Sikkim is not ancient one but morden.

Ray

One must thank India even more.

Chinese official delegation can make the Torch Run political, but not the Tibetans!!

All the humbug pious nonsense that the Chinese are trying to spew.

And a wimpish Indian govt!

Ray

Who invited the Indians to come?

Are you aware of it?

The very fact that there is no uprising should indicate that it was not an annexation if you will.

Adux

Annexation of Sikkim? Where did that come from?

Adux

Sir,

Bullseye

Adu

Ray

The Indian people cannot even respond.

There were no Indian people observing the Torch Run!

They were locked up and kept away in a true Chinese method of ensuring law and order which they (Indian govt) adopted!!

And really Chinese goods makes no difference to India except for the sellers on the footpath who peddle cheap and substandard Chinese goods!!
