About this ebook
An essay written in 2008 when major uprisings broke out all over the Tibetan plateau and when China was hosting the Beijing Olympics. Though Tibetan activists world-over staged dramatic and large-scale non-violent events to draw international attention to the Tibetan struggle, the exile leadership attempted to stop these protests in the hope that Beijing would negotiate with them which did not happen.
