Tibetan man sets himself on fire to protest China President visit to India..

A 26-year-old Tibetan man(Living in India since 2006) on Monday set himself on fire at Jantar Mantar, two days ahead of Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to India for the BRICS summit.

No one from media tried to save his life, but ran around him just to click photos and shoot videos so that their headlines would get perfect photos and videos.

For those who thinks this is fake , they can read this: https://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/tibetan-man-on-fire-protest-china-president-india/1/179615.html

A petty reason perhaps why novelists more and more try to keep a distance from journalists is that novelists are trying to write the truth and journalists are trying to write fiction.

@ harini didi..

I agree..

When i first saw this pic in newspaper i was thinking y no1 saved this person??

One can click photos but cant save him??

What's more important Money or Humanity???

Why money has taken so much importance in our life that we dont think abt what we are doing to others???

First of all the way of showing protest by this tibetan man is utter foolishness.

Why one should expect media people to help him?

Did that tibetan man tuned into a human fireball on anybody's compulsion?

He did it intentionally !

More over he was running after setting himself on fire.

will you tolerate somebody's nonsense acts at the cost of your duty (Studies) ? u wont!

then why to expect media people to undo their duty?

BOSS LOOK AT THE PHOTO GRAFES NO OE CAN TOCH THAT KIND OF BURNING HUMAN (OR NETHING)

THE ONLY RESULT WILL BE U(THE ONE HELPING) WILL CATCH FIRE

M SURE THE PEOPLE EQUPED TO HELP WOULD HAVE HELPED THERE BEST!!(AS ALSO SEEN IN PICS POSTED BY SANKET)

STOP FANTASIZING THE UNREAL AND CRUAL WORLD

@ IYYAPAN : U CAN SAY THAT LOSING UR LIFE IS NOT A PROPER WAY TO PROTEST

BUT AT THE SAME TIME U WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE THAT U IN FACT NO ONE CAN EVEN DARE EVN LET OUR FINGER TIP BURN(OR HARM OURSELFES IN ANY OTHERWAY)

SO IF A MAN BURND HIMSELF THINK ABOUT HIS STATE OF MIND THAT HE WAS READY TO EVEN DIE FOR HES PEOPLE

THINK ABT THE RAGE AND ANGER AND DISGUST HE HAD IN MIND

HE WANTED TO BRING THE ISSUE TO OUR NOTICE (INDEPENDENCE OF TIBET FROM CHINA)

AND I MUST SAY HES DEATH WAS NOT USELESS IT SERVED HES PURPOSE

HIGH TIME FOR INDIA TO REALIZE THAT WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS AND LAND

LET IT BE TIBET OR KASHMIR

" IF A MAN BURND HIMSELF THINK ABOUT HIS STATE OF MIND THAT HE WAS READY TO EVEN DIE FOR HES PEOPLE

THINK ABT THE RAGE AND ANGER AND DISGUST HE HAD IN MIND " I agree, Dear Parth.

Such incidents tend to take me back in time to those days of our struggle for freedom. How many of our youths had perished along similar lines !!! And now, having the good fortune of being a citizen of an Independent Country, I've countless moments of security with which I can discuss the folly of such acts !!!!!

Some of us will try to be a "Student" for the whole of our life, but will there be success for us? I wonder.

P.S.

@ Onam : I was right in my conviction that CCI would be a better place with persons like you in it. God bless you.

My stand on the true face of media is implicitly stated through my above reply, dear Eklavya. I know you can get it. Still, as you want to know my explicit views, I put forward the same below.

Recording of this event was absolutely necessary to take the cause of the now deceased man to the world. So, the cameraman cannot be blamed for his action. But, how many cameramen were there? Clearly, more than one, given the fact that there are so many forms of the media and in each of those forms there are many sub-units. That's why, we see in the picture another photographer who was busy capturing the moment through his lense. But I also see in that picture the ever-curious common men, watching the whole incident from a distance. And I support neither the second cameraman( or many other who were out of frame) nor the crowd. Media, for long, has become a business of selling spicy news but who waits for those spice everyday? The spectators of the scene are just as guilty as the mediamen who were busy shooting the EVENT. And what were the police doing? Anything or anyone who lets such incident happen deserves highest condemnation.

I wonder, how can a man set himself ablaze and get 90% burn injury in front of the whole of the media and all those people and police who were there. Do you have any idea?

What do you think I would have done if I were there, dear Eklavya? You know me very well. What's your guess? Do you see me playing the role of a silent spectator or one who would try to save the man by whatever means that one may have at his disposal at that moment? I know what you would have done. Can you guess mine?
