With all due to respect to Dali Lama , it is time that he steps down as the political leader of the people of Tibet and only be an spiritual leader.
Youth and people of Tibet are making the conscious leap of separating their religious beliefs from politics and matters of their state , which is the right historical call on their part.
For a while now, Dali Lama has been a stopping force for the movement of people and it is time to let new non-religious leaders flourish.
Human rights situation in Tibet has been very grim under the Chinese rule and that is not to undermine the violations that were committed by the prior Dali Lama’s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5-8ucnBTuE
