Particularly egregious was Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's 2003 surrender of India's Tibet card.

Vajpayee's blunder compounded Nehru's 1954 mistake in implicitly accepting, in the Panchsheel Treaty, China's annexation of Tibet, without securing (or even seeking) recognition of the then-existing Indo-Tibetan border.

In fact, under the treaty, India forfeited all of the extraterritorial rights and privileges in Tibet that it had inherited from imperial Britain.

Given India's dependence on cross-border water flows from Tibet, it could end up paying a heavy price.

In a current case, a Spanish judge is seeking arrest warrants against Jiang Zemin, the former president of China, and Li Peng, a former Chinese prime minister, for alleged crimes committed in Tibet.

Following the disturbances in Tibet and the troubles affecting the Olympic torch's progress around the world, some voices abroad are showing a greater inclination to dismiss, vilify, humiliate, or even split China.

A year ago, Chinese and Western intellectuals competed in dismissing popular interest in Tibet as a childlike confusion with the imaginary Shangri-la of the 1937 film Lost Horizon.

Those moves suggest that Tibet has become an increasingly serious concern for China's rulers, one that they have not yet found ways to handle without damaging their standing in Tibet and around the world.
