China has neither any legal nor any kind of right on Tibet. The invasion of Tibet and the act of hostility on India are to be treated as botched act. People outside Tibet has little or no idea about the separate entity of Tibet. Culturally and ethnologically the Tibetans and the Chinese are different stock of people. Tibetans are a Central Asian tribe having more ethnic affinity extending through Mongolia to trans-Baikal people, such as events, Yakuts, Orochhins and the Tungus.

Tibetans are, in fact a stock of people who are not in favour of foreign domination. The Dalai Lama the spiritual and political leader of the Tibetans had kept the Tibetans deprived of all sorts of necessities of life for centuries. The then Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru accepted for unknown reason, that, Tibet had no separate entity, but an integral part of China.

Perhaps, the declaration emboldened China to invade India, thinking that the Prime Minister of India would accept that India is also a Chinese country. But the people rose so united against Chinese audacity, that China had to retreat. (jacket)
