"India's China Policy- Need for an Overhaul"

Date: 13th September 2007, Thursday
Time: 9am to 2.00pm
Venue: India International Centre, Committee Room 3, Annexure Building, 40
Maxmueller Marg, New Delhi 110003.

Though India had fought and continues to fight western colonialism and
Gandhi even gave his entire life to get rid off and not preserve
colonialism, Gandhi's successors have given fillip to eastern especially
Chinese colonialism as a result of which even sixty years after the
formation of the United Nations there are large parts in Asia that do not
have freedom and there still remain many remnants of colonial rule in need
of decolonisation like Tibet, Manchuria, Inner ie. Southern Mongolia,
Eastern Turkestan, Yunnan and Guangxi-Zhuang.

In spite of new evidence surfacing about the political status of Tibet,
India continues to wallow in old thinking.

To critically examine this and put a nail in the coffin of Chinese
colonialism, Friends of Tibet is holding a panel discussion ''India's
China Policy- Need for an Overhaul'' at the Annexure Building of the India
International Centre, New Delhi.

The topic will be addressed by: Prof. Bharat Karnad: Research Professor,
National Security Studies, Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi
Dr. Mohan Guruswamy: Chairman, Centre for Policy Alternatives Society, New
Delhi
Dr. Srikanth Kondapalli: Associate Professor, Chinese Studies, Jawaharlal
Nehru University, New Delhi
Dr. L.L Mehrotra, Former Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs will be
the Chairperson.
