"All I am saying is Tibetans have not caused us any problems. All they have done is good thing and something they have made us proud. If they became the richest refugee group in the world, then they deserve the title. 'Cause they worked hard for it and along the way many benefitted from that. What we need in our society are the good people who cares about each other and help each other. it does not matter whether you are from different colors, gender or sex. I think Tibetans are that kind of people. Wouldn't you rather have good and smart employees if you are running your own company. " Koolketa, Thanks for your enlightening post on Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan issues. But I somehow do not agree with this line: "All I am saying is Tibetans have not caused us any problems. All they have done is good thing and something they have made us proud. If they became the richest refugee group in the world, then they deserve the title." BEACUSE they gave us the KHAMPA REBELLION in the 70s, in which the Nepali Army was mobilized for the first time after the treaty of Sugauli. The rebellion has a long and interesting history and is directly linked to the Dalai Lama and his governmnet in exile. It nearly damaged our relationship with China. So the governmnet had its reasons to keep an watchful eye on the Tibetans. I don't say the whole Tibetan community was involved, but the minority who sided with the leader of the rebellion, Baba Yeshi and his 8 streams or whatever cult, did damage the overall reputation of Tibetans in Nepal and Nepal's international reputation.
