Birthday Or Backday

"MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY, MY LORD, MY LAMA, MY GURU, MY KING H. H. THE DALAI LAMA, MAY YOU LIVE MORE THAN HUNDRED YEARS WITH GREAT HEALTH TO LED US AND THIS WORLD TO PEACE AND HAPPY FUTURE" I woke up with this slogan to greet the day on 6th July 2010 which was a beautiful day. Some of my friends and other Tibetan sympathies were complaining the venue of this year's birthday celebration is mean to be far from the location where majority of Tibeten have their resident. But today is not a ordinary day, so almost all of us are certain to attend the celebration. We had our breakfast and except the young-age monks, everyone was excite about the journey they are going to take in the Bus organized by the monastery office. We were assembly in front of the the gompa shop with discussion about the estimate size and form of the celebration, one of the monk was saying that the Tibetan Settlement Office in Nepal had requested every registered monastery and institution to come up with less than two wish-written banners to livelihood the celebration. And all of them were accepting this sign is meant to be the celebration to be great success. And we believed that this is not only our duty but also responsibility of tibetan refugees in Nepal to implement every movement and ceremony related with Tibet to be unique in Nepal, because apart from Dharamsala, Nepal is the only second to that where every activity related to Tibet and Tibetan issue is carry on with great enthusiastic and success. So the legacy has to be continue and we hope so,
Suddenly one of the young monk was running passed us uttering that there is the police force present at the gate of the Monastery. Without exact comprehension of the situation we rushed to the gate and there were at least four personal of Nepal Armed Police Force. Gradually we came to know that there are also forces posted at Our nunnery, at Faika Chowk, at Boudhanath, at Chahabil, at patan, at Swayambu, at every corner of the way which lead to Jawalakel which is to be the place of celebration. Including the Nepali brothers, every one was quite confused with this reaction of Nepali government who gave permission to held the celebration with full participation of general citizen and Tibetans just one day back. Only restriction was that the Government issue statement in the newspapers to (www.thehimalayantimes.com) prohibit the participants of members of Nepali constituent Assembly to calm the ugly Chinese red government criticism. Subsequently we approach the personals and inquiry the validity of the document they released to give permission for the birthday celebration and their action which contradict to their own approval. One of the personal Told us that a group of tibetan people did held protest in front of the Chinese embassy day before birthday and consequently were arrest and put in jail. He continued in Nepali "tubai arulai hezu jullus gare ra asre paiko ne." ( your guys did protest yesterday, so today is the reaction of your strike) For a second we were not sure what to expect from the police furthermore, and at the same time we were not sure how we going to understand the situation because we have not knowledge of the protest and arrest. Our group dismiss for a while, and were lost in thought. After one hour, monks were saying that around 35 tibetans had protest in front of the Chinese embassy and lately they were claimed to be the follower of Dorje Shugden who is the controversial deity in tibetan community, who's followers are believed to be close to the Chinese government which finance them in every way to woe them for their cruelty usage. Our doubts were clear but not nearest to the satisfaction because we heard around 300 tibetans were arrest and put in jail on day main day for merely the action of participating the celebration.
As in Tibetan Proverb, "even a child who murder his own father has a reason to claim his innocence" Nepali police personal claimed to be innocence and blamed the cause back to tibetan community, but the reality will always remain behind the curtain of politics and economic. No matter the reaction of Nepali government is either compel from the Nepali parties or bullied by Chinese Government or even fuel by Shugden group. The actual circumstance suffered by the Tibetan people and its supporters was exact remind of 2008 when Nepali government crashed the protesters and were put in jail as they are the Chinese force.
EVERY TIBETAN IN NEPAL IS WONDERING IF IT IS BIRTHDAY OR BACKDAY! God bless Tibet!
