China has advised India to stay away from the issue of Dalai Lama’s succession. Beijing said the process of determining the Dalai Lama’s reincarnation and successor is entirely China’s internal matter and no outside interference will be allowed. Chinese Embassy in India spokesperson Yu Jing issued a statement on Sunday saying that the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama takes place under age-old religious customs and historical traditions. He said that this process requires the approval of China’s central government and the 14th Dalai Lama was also recognized under the same process. The Chinese Embassy also reminded India of its old stance on Tibet. The statement said that India should not provide a platform for activities related to Tibetan independence. This is necessary for regional stability and India-China relations. China has described the Dalai Lama issue as a thorn in the relations. This is not the first time that China has warned India on the Dalai Lama issue. Last year also, Beijing had said that the succession of Dalai Lama is like a thorn in India-China relations. The Dalai Lama has already said that China will have no role in deciding his successor. According to Tibetan belief, after the death of a senior Buddhist monk, his soul is reborn. However, China says that the process of Dalai Lama’s succession requires the approval of the Chinese government. The Dalai Lama has been living in exile in India since 1959. He came to India after an unsuccessful rebellion against Chinese rule in Tibet. About 70 thousand Tibetan refugees and the Tibetan government in exile are also present in India. How was the current Dalai Lama chosen? The current Dalai Lama was born in 1935 in Taktesar village in northwest China. He was recognized at the age of just two years. With the help of the signs left by the 13th Dalai Lama, a group of Buddhist monks reached this village. This group brought with them some belongings of the 13th Dalai Lama like spectacles, bell, stick. He placed the Dalai Lama’s belongings and some other items in front of the child. From these, the child picked up things related to the 13th Dalai Lama and said, ‘This is mine.’ At last those sages placed some stick in front of the child. The child picked up the Dalai Lama’s stick and hugged it to his chest. After this, those monks became convinced that this child was the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. His studies began at the age of 6 and after China’s incursion into Tibet in 1950, he assumed the position of Dalai Lama with full powers. How did the present Dalai Lama leave China and come to India? Today Tibet is a part of China, but it was not always so. The Communist Party came to power in China in 1949. In 1950, the Chinese government sent its army to Tibet and occupied it. After this, an agreement was reached between the governments of China and Tibet, in which China promised to maintain the independence of Tibet. Despite this, the Chinese army continued to oppress the people of Tibet for the next decade. According to the autobiography of the present Dalai Lama, in March 1959, the Chinese army reached the Dalai Lama’s palace. The Dalai Lama fled Tibet dressed as a soldier. Many villages and monasteries gave them shelter for about two weeks. On March 31, 1959, the Dalai Lama reached India via Arunachal Pradesh with his family, bodyguards and some Tibetans. On 2 April he was officially welcomed by the Government of India and on 3 April Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru announced asylum to the Dalai Lama in India. However, doing so could affect relations with China, hence many people opposed Nehru’s decision. The Government of India first gave the Dalai Lama a place to live in Tezpur, Assam. Then he lived in Mussoorie for some time and finally settled in Dharamshala in 1960.
