Or, just as likely, the same route that the Native Americans of Northern America, or the Aborigines of Australia, or... have.
The Australian Aborigines and American Indians were utterly defeated. More recently some of them have begun essentially following their own paths again (once the oppressors quit kidnapping and brainwashing them - imagine that).
Some of the tribes in Central America retreated into the jungle and have essentially created their own societies. The Chinese will not permit the Tibetans to do this.

Sorry folks for butting in and taking on the lame role of the Devil's Advocate's Advocate, but I don't think Ven Indrajala is a troll or a Chinese shill.
I think his position is ideologically consistent with his earlier ones and his disinterest in human stories as opposed to 'the big picture' as he sees it. I just hope he saves everyone (and himself) the trouble and withdraws from participation in this topic on which he's made his views abundantly clear.
Since people are completely incapable of staying on topic and I am sick of having to remove posts I will lock this thread and keep it locked until somebody comes up with a REALLY good reason for reopening it.
