His holiness 14th Dalai Lama excerpts from the book- The story of Tibet by Thomas laird ' if the Chinese government put a condition on me that i should accept that Tibet has historically always been an inalienable part of China -- if i say yes, history will not change because of that , history will remain as history. The historical status of Tibet is not a matter for political decision. It is a matter for the historians to determine. As to the future status of Tibet, this is something i wish to discuss with Chinese for the benefit of the Tibetan people, for their future welfare and also for the benefit of Chinese people. I believe that we must focus talks with China on the future. We each have our own interpretations of history. We should not force our interpretations on others. We should leave history to historians, not to the politicians '
