Google has threatened to pull out of China after a series of cyber attacks originating from that nation. This week the company announced it would stop censoring Google.cn and within hours it lifted its own self-censorship policy in China thereby allowing Chinese internet users for the first time to access "taboo" topics like the Dalai Lama, the Tiananmen massacre and the Falun Gong.

Govt bats for 'Little Tibet'
Times Of India[Saturday, July 22, 2006 11:52]
By NIDHI SHARMA

New Delhi - Delhi's 'Little Tibet' is all set to go. Following HC's order, Delhi government is considering rehabilitation options for the Tibetan refugees staying here.

Stunned by the court's order to demolish the Tibetan settlement at Majnu Ka Tila, the political leadership is exploring possibilities of moving the Supreme Court.

Delhi urban development minister A K Walia said:"As per the order we will have to look for land for rehabilitation. The Tibetan refugees have been in this area since the 1960s. We will consult the chief minister and frame a rehabilitation plan but till then they will not be moved."

Chandni Chowk MP Kapil Sibal said:"We will do anything that needs to be done to have them stay at Majnu Ka Tila. I will request Delhi government for help. We will examine the court order and see what can be done. There is always the possibility of moving the apex court in the matter."

There are two major projects that are threatening the Tibetan community — road widening on NH-45 that runs along the settlement and beautification of Yamuna river bed.

Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit said:"We have to reconfirm the order. We will also try to explore other legal possibilities."
