In a strongly worded statement issued from Nagpur on March 20 against the barbarous and inhuman atrocities perpetrated in Tibet by China, the RSS Sarsanghachalak Shri K.S. Sudarshan has appealed to the people of the world to build pressure on the Government of China and force it to find an amicable solution to the problem of Tibet. ?The barbarous and inhuman atrocities perpetrated on the peaceful Tibetan protesters in Lhasa and other towns of Tibet by the Communist regime in China have shocked all the sensitive hearts the world over. Swami Vivekananda had said in the last decade of the 19th century that ?the Chinese Dragon is asleep. Let it remain so. The day it wakes up, it will bring disaster over the whole world.? That prophecy has become a reality today,? he said. He further said China had in 1954-55 through massacres, tried to totally eliminate the whole Tibet resulting in the Dalai Lama had to form his government in exile in India. ?The Dragon'sbloody claws are menacingly hovering over our Arunachal Pradesh today. China'sghastly intentions for Nepal have also become very explicit. Against this backdrop, these demonstrations have completely betrayed the hollowness of Chinese claims that under her occupation, Tibet has witnessed all-round development and the people are happy with the regime. To conceal the truth, China has no other option except to take recourse to atrocities to smother the voice of dissent. However, all such efforts to hide the truth have never been successful in the past,? he added.
He also protested strongly against the ?intemperate and foul language? used by China against the peace loving Dalai Lama. He said the Dalai Lama is ?an epitome of equanimity and composure?. ?What else can be expected from a rude and uncivil Communist China?? he said. The RSS, from the beginning, has been considering Tibet as the most essential factor for the security of India, the statement added.
