New Delhi: For last one week, Buddhist spiritual leader Dalai Lama has been touring Kashmir giving sermons on peace and conflict resolution – yesterday he paid tributes at the mazar of Sheikh Abdullah in Kashmir. But it has been observed that the greatest spiritual leader of world Buddhist community has maintained a studied silence on the gruesome and large scale killing of Muslims by Buddhist extremists groups in Myanmar.
Reports coming from non-mainstream media – as India's mainstream media have almost blacked out the news of ethnic cleansing in India's eastern neighbor – say tens of thousands of Muslims have been massacred in last two months in Burma, the old name of Myanmar. It is said that Buddhist extremist groups in connivance with the Army are killing Rohingya Muslims in thousands and bodies are being burnt.
While a small Buddhist group in India, All India Buddhist Council along with some Muslim groups last week wrote Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to ask Myanmar to stop killing of Muslim minority there, Dalai Lama has remained tight-lipped over the issue.
