Mudy, I agree with other points you made on Tibet. But - except for Dalai Lama's compulsively peaceful stand and his (previous) insistence on autonomy for Tibet rather than independence - I think his desperation in courting hollywood stars is understandable.
I mean, with a hostile government in India which is openly anti-Natural Religions, he has no friends and no power. Hindus may support him and Tibetans, but we can't even be masters of our own affairs in our own country (example: Temple funds stolen by tyrant government is used to feed the christoislamic tyrannies), so we're no good. Moral support is all they can get from us and that's not something that will help Tibet against China with its vice-like grip on Tibet.
The choice of the Dalai Lama in wooing hollywood is obvious, since other options are simply not there: the American government is unreliable at best and otherwise it's no different in its christoislamicommunism from Chinese government (I've read that US sends missionaries over to Tibet). And Europe is neither here nor there, all they have to offer are their pretty speeches of condemnation and outrage which are but masks for inaction - that's when they don't organise missionaries to convert the wayward Tibetan Buddhist.
The Dalai Lama needs to somehow get some visibility for his country and people, and hollywood stars are all that can do anything here. However little and trivial the 'help' from their quarter may be, it's more than he can hope to accomplish by clasping his hands together and pleading with the stone-cold heartless self-appointed queen of India and her traitor minion Madmoron Stink.
Not that hollywood stars are helping much, but there's really no one amongst those who actually care about Tibet and its population who can do anything. Some help is better than nothing. And if getting it requires some posing for photos with stars, flying around and other boring popularity stuff, then it's a comparatively small compromise on his part. Rather, the great shame is that his adamant non-violent stand is tying his people down and causing many of them to die with absolutely no effect on the opposition, because the heartless communists terrorising them have no such principles. But one's life is worth fighting for. And to unnaturally tie down one's instincts for life by non-violence in such cases is the same as committing violent suicide. Their Atmas cannot thank them for it, and it's a grave injustice to Tibetans as a whole, their future generations and the future of their ethos. I read something Aurobindo wrote on the matter of shortsightedness and unrealistic expectations in employing non-violence in the face of violence, but then he's a Hindu and believed in self-defense and fighting to uphold Dharma.
Back to MMStink and the She-Usurper.
As you (Mudy) explained elsewhere on IF, the Traitor Indian Government is trying to evict or otherwise silence (by ignoring and by mistreating) the Tibetans in India through use of the UPA's patented Hostile Treatment methods, which they recently successfully meted out to Taslima Nasreen as well. I'm sure the only reason they haven't done away with the Dalai Lama - as proof of their allegiance to China - is because DL is popular in the world.
Sorry to read that Tibetans are starting to be wary of Indians. Well, in a sense, so am I: I'm wary of the christoislamicommunipsecular Indians. But I hope the Tibetans still know that Hindus wish them well and that in so far as Bharat is a homeland of ours, they are welcome to stay in safety. But then, we have so little say in any of this. Only the christomaniac and her stooges, and the "Chinese Parties in India" (=Viren or K.Ram's phrase) wield power in India. Hindus are as sidelined as Tibetans are and have been bullied by the pseculars amongst Indian police more often than they have.
The only way out of this is if Dharmics in India realise that we can't remain silent or inactive whenever any one of us is victimised by the traitor christoislamicommuniterrorist government. All of us are terrorised by it in turns. And its success shows in the fact that we are each made so powerless that we can barely stand up for ourselves and we certainly are unable to do so for other Dharmics.

Communists are always ready to kill everyone at a moment's notice. They're also the masters of statistical obfuscation/subterfuge/denial when it comes to committing genocide and then sweeping it under the rug of history.
