Imagine, Pakistan giving up the cause of Kashmir for the reason that India will get infuriated! Pakistan government issuing a notice to its officials that they should not attend any meeting held by a senior Kashmiri leader as this is sensitive to India! This is exactly what is happening in the context of Tibet between India and China.

If this is the attitude of Indian foreign policy, should we assume that Doklam was an eyewash and a hoax? Or some developments have happened in between that has forced Indian foreign policy to shift its stance?

Last month, Cabinet Secretary, P. K. Sinha sent directives to the senior leaders and government officials of not attending the events of Dalai Lama. Sinha mentioned, âAccordingly, you are requested to ensure appropriate action in the matterâ. Sinha also quoted the Foreign Secretaryâs note to underline âthe sensitive nature of the subjectâ.
Indiaâs Foreign Secretary, Vijay Gokhale in a letter to Sinha stated, âclassified circular advisory advising all Ministries/Departments of Government of India as well as State Governments not to accept any invitation or to participate in the proposed commemorative events.â The Foreign Secretary also said that stated, âWe understand that this includes a large public event titled âThank You Indiaâ being organised at Thyagaraj Sports Complex in New Delhi on April 1, 2018. The Dalai Lama set-up also intends to invite a number of Indian dignitaries. These are likely to be followed up by additional events in Delhi as well as the other States of India.âÂ
