Anushka Saxena quoted on Firstpost

Anushka Saxena, Staff Research Analyst with Takshashila’s Indo-Pacific Studies Programme, was quoted on Firstpost on Beyond faith: Why Dalai Lama’s reincarnation is a geopolitical tussle & not just about Tibet

She was quoted as saying “Whether India supports the Dalai Lama on reincarnation or not, no territorial acceptances from China or thaws in bilateral tensions can be expected. When it comes to China’s red lines, anything short of pure compliance means ‘separatism’ to China. India already hosts the Dalai Lama and his followers, which is a big sore point for China. So, it would be folly to assume that unless India parrots the Chinese rhetoric and toes the Chinese line on reincarnation, it will get any benefits.”
