Duality and Survival!

Last week I was off duty and travelling. Though it's not the best season to traverse by the dust-laden roads of interior Karnataka under the hot sun.

My travels took me to Bylakuppe, the camp of Tibetan refugees near Kushalnagar. The walls outside the shrine were adorned with posters showing the atrocities of the Chinese against the Tibetans. Blood-curdling, stomach-churning pictures made up most of the posters-space.

A short distance away from the shrine, at the commercial complex run by Tibetans, the shops were filled with goodies - all manufactured in China - that were selling well and earning the meals for the refugees.

Sure, one shouldn't mix business and religion or politics and religion/business!
