Dolma, her daughter and her grand daughter, three generations, visiting another Tibetan refugee who owns a shop in Pokhara selling souvenirs. Dolma married a Nepali man and took on Nepali citizenship. She doesn't feel any animosity to China for having taken over Tibet. If they hadn't she would still be in Tibet and would still be worshipping pagan gods. She's become a born again christian because of the fate of Tibet. One can look at it that way. I tried to talk to my 88 year old father about it but he shut me up saying, 'the Tibetans invited China in.' The Tibetans in the 17 point agreement signed in Sikkim did allow China to station their military in Tibetan areas. Tibetans now feel that China should decolonize Tibet and leave. Free Tibet!
