The Dalai Lama is planning a visit to Arunachal Pradesh, India next month. While India has said they are not worried about this causing conflict with China, it has been made public that many Chinese do not like the presence of Dalai Lama in India.

His upcoming visit has become controversial due to a border dispute. Phayul.com reports, “India has reaffirmed the exiled Tibetan leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s right to visit its disputed border region with China in the face of objections from Beijing, a media report said Saturday.” The Dalai Lama hasn’t visited the state since 2003.

The Hindu also reported on the upcoming event, making note that this is a trip that supports him as a spiritual figure.

Indians respond to the Dalai Lama’s visit next month:

   soleslide (Mumbai) PM should hold a summit with the Dalai Lama in Arunachal Pradesh to send a message to the Chinese. But that would need balls, wouldn’t it? 13 Oct 2009 from TinyTwitter
