<b>Why I will protest Hu Jintao's visit </b>
Rediff.com[Saturday, November 18, 2006 10:14] <!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The recent order issued by the Indian government to my friend, the Tibetan activist Tenzin Tsundue, is a painful reminder that we do not belong here. Like Tsundue, I was born and raised in India. I love this country. It has sheltered and nurtured our people physically, spiritually and culturally for two generations now. But we are not Indian.
We are foreigners and subject to a different set of rules. Though I studied law, I cannot rely on it to protect my rights because I am an alien. This is what Hu Jintao reminds me when he comes to visit. Until we win our freedom, Tibetans will never find true security as refugees � no matter how comfortable we may become in our host countries.
