ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to stimulate reflection, perceptions and approaches from China, India and the Tibetan emigres in India as regards the Tibet issue. It focuses on major differences and contradiction between India and China over Tibet issue; the future course of the Tibetan movement; and explores the possibilities of establishing a mechanism between India and China on Tibet. The majority of the Tibetan respondents viewed that Tibet was an occupied country by China. The mainstream view in India is somewhat baffled about China’s rebuff to the Dalai Lama’s posture to China and the outcome of the ongoing dialogue between Beijing and Dharamsala. As regards the former, the Indian government neither supports Tibet’s autonomy nor recognizes the Tibetan government in exile. The mechanism could be an effective instrument to check the anti-China activities of a section of the disgruntled elements that would not adhere to the China-Dalai Lama settlement ovezr Tibet.
