With Han Chinese flooding Xinjiang a region struggling with ethnic strife the demoralized natives seek refuge across the border to
escape the oppression...

When Ibrahim was investing in new computers to upgrade his web business, he could not have imagined being bankrupted by a government-imposed internet blackout after deadly riots between Muslim Uighurs and Han Chinese in July.

On July 4th, Ibrahim was buoyant with the hope of tapping into Chinas burgeoning online business market, encouraged by the influx of the companies to the oil-rich region. But by the end of that same week Ibrahim knew he had to shut shop.

As Hu Jintao hurried back from the G8 summit in the wake of the most violent riots in decades, Beijing cut Xinjiangs 20 million residents off from internet in an effort to insulate the province and ease ethnic tension.

"Hundreds of internet businesses are bankrupt, so where is the economic development they talk about? I want to move to India, I dont want to invest any money here. My friends and I started to research routes (through Leh) to India, but it is policed well in China," he said. "Thousands are disappearing (into prisons) they werent rioting, but they were young and Muslim." he said.

Ibrahim holed himself up in his home after a brutal crackdown on Uighurs paralysed Urumqi following protests on July 5th.

According to the state media, 197 people were killed and 1,721 injured, most of them Han, assaulted by Uighurs. In response, vigilante Han Chinese mobs armed with butcher knives and axes taped to sticks stormed Uighur neighbourhoods seeking vengeance.

Mass arrests of Muslim men followed. Uighur women took to the streets to protest the arrests of "grandfathers and 11-, 12-year-old boys." A Human Rights Watch report published in October confirms that 43 Uighurs are still missing.

Before Ibrahim saw his savings go out with the light on his modem, he could not imagine living anywhere but Kashgar, and encouraged his family to learn Mandarin and become a part of the fabric of greater China.

"When I saw signs that you cannot go to mosque if you are a government employee or a working person, I thought okay, better to focus on business than pray. I thought only (political) troublemakers are punished but I know the innocent people who disappeared . I saw some who came back tortured. I am ashamed to say I am afraid to even help those families."

One such victim was Turghan. When Turghan was finally freed from prison last month, after 12 years of torture, his wife didnt recognize him. Instead of the husband she remembered, a handicapped, hunchbacked man stood before the family.

His sister-in-law Rahima remembers Turghan as a handsome, popular trader in Guljas main market. "His crime was that he was Muslim right after the Gulja uprising of 1997, when Chinese authorities put pressure on local police to find ringleaders," she said.

In February 1997 riots erupted on the streets of Gulja to protest mass arrests of Muslims. Troops stormed Gulja after two days of protests, using teargas and ammunition to disperse the crowds, and arresting so many young men that they had to be detained at the local sports stadium, according to Amnesty International. As the temperature dropped, detainees were hosed with water and several lost fingers and toes to frostbite before they could even be questioned.

Today, the Chinese state media is full of warnings that Xinjiang remains a turbulent, untamed area because of its 5,600-km border with Russia to the north, India to the south, Mongolia to the east and Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India to the west.

Months after the Urumqi riots, the border city of Kashgar still has troops on alert. Tajik and Khyrgyz traders have gone back to selling silks, blankets and beauty creams in the main Sunday Bazaar but the slow pace of business is punctuated by a column of soldiers marching through at regular intervals.

Michael, a foreigner working in Kashgar is "disgusted" by what he calls counter-productive security measures. "The government says it has no problem with Muslims and then sends 500 soldiers to point guns at Uighurs coming out of Kashgars main mosque the day after riots in Urumqi. How can tensions die down?" As he finishes speaking, three trucks full of soldiers in riot gear roll by. Troops point their weapons at passers by as loudspeakers announce: "Dont do anything (illegal ) to hurt national unity.

Driving along the remnants of the fabled silk route from Kashgar to Yarkand to Hotan, as the road cuts effortlessly through majestic mountain passes that dissolve into the sand dunes of the Taklamakan dessert, it is easy to forget the regions recent upheaval. But the 50,000 soldiers that have flooded towns across Xinjiang serve to remind you that you are being watched and tracked, your identity card and passport numbers duly noted.

According to T P Sreenivasan, former Indian ambassador, "What China is doing in Xinjiang is identical to what they did in Tibet repressing the minority, giving Han Chinese economic incentives to move there and creating tensions. The point is to destroy the Uighur culture and control the region. India should take note because China has been increasingly aggressive over Arunachal Pradesh. If they can colonize their own minorities to break down the Muslim community, imagine the aggression they are willing to use on outsiders."

David Goodman explains Beijings ominous agenda in his article, Chinas campaign to open up the West. "The 1990s (saw) comprehensive measures spurring Han settler colonization, exploitation in the oil-rich Tarim basin; and the building of key transport infrastructure in Southern Xinjiang," under the guise of economic development , and resulting in friction with the indigenous Uighurs. Beijing has relocated entire communities of impoverished Han Chinese in a wave of mass migration that took Xinjiangs Han population from four per cent in 1949 to 40.6 per cent in 2000 (according to census data).
Ibrahim cannot help feeling frustrated about Hu Jintaos recent comments about a return to normalcy in the region.

"We want dignity, what is normalcy?" he asks as his friends lapse into Uighur, talking excitedly about reports of Tibetans living in India, free from the fear of persecution, free to speak against the oppression of their people "back home."

"We can do more from India. We thought of Pakistan, but they have returned Uighur refugees to China. India has welcomed Tibetans and we are similar," he reasons before turning back to the heap of coffeestained notes and maps with highlighted routes into India strewn over his keyboard and table.

Really Sad !!!

Well if they want to move to India, they are welcome to do so. But this from Indian media, so I suspect its trust worthiness.

====================================

in that sh1t hole they should come to the turkic states

If they want to be safe they should betray the separatists to the Chinese police, they do not want to they would prepare to suffer the consequence.

====================================

why not give them a passage to pakistan

The Uyghur Terrorists/Freedom-Fighters have direct links to Pakistan. There is ample proof in the hands of Chinese officials.


Only the peaceful and democratic Uyghursseek passage through India, like the Tibetans !!!

Indians must feel free good after reading this news...yeah, that's the way they have to make themselves feel good...

-------------------------------------------------

Let them move to India, isn't this what this Indian news is about.

====================================

Don't you guys get tired of all this propaganda by "times of india" every passing day?

why not give them a passage to pakistan

they would be handed over to Chinese authorities the moment they place a step in our land and they do know that very well

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wouldn't it be beneficial to all parties if China did let em leave on their own accord? Uighurs can seek a better life elsewhere, and the Han domination of Xinjiang would move forward leaving less room for separatists to maintain their foothold.

^ I was actually thinking the samething. If the Uighurs want to leave, the Chinese authorities should let them, I'm sure the Indian's won't mind accepting them in right? Thats less people for the Chinese to worry about and feed, we afterall want the Xinjiang region to be totally Han dominant. This will just accelerate the process.

three things

1) They want to go india, if they had said Pakistan than we should have thought

2) We don't like illegal immigrants in our land

3) we have an accord with China to hand over the trouble makers and both exchange the wanted people in the other land quite regularly


and above all the indians should be the last to complain for if it wasn't for our mentality they won't be having a state named Punjab today...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" 2) We don't like illegal immigrants in our land "

Thats why you created Taliban.

" 3) we have an accord with China to hand over the trouble makers and both exchange the wanted people in the other land quite regularly "

So you will betray your brothers for the sake of mere diplomacy. Such is the policy of Pure Land ??


" and above all the indians should be the last to complain for if it wasn't for our mentality they won't be having a state named Punjab today... "

You forgot to mention my state : West-Bengal, carved out of erstwhile East-Pakistan ..........

Have your parents bought you a new sweater yet or are you still wearing your Ottoman chacha's hand-me-downs you illiterate immigrant fag. Tell me yasin, are you a high school dropout like the rest of your immigrant buddies?


In the area of education, the study shows that 30 percent of students of Turkish origin do not have a school leaving certificate and only 14 percent pass their final secondary school examinations. In the state of Saarland, 45 percent of Turkish immigrants have failed to complete their high school education

Unemployment among Turkish immigrants is high and many survive on state benefits while the reports shows a large number of Turkish women remain in the home to manage the family.

^^ More precisely its a Master-Slave relationship !!!

unfortunately everyone is not as lucky as india to be conquered by every single people that came in contact with it and ruled it for centuries

This very fact has helped bolster the indian views about seeing every relationship as a master - slave relationship




However i wouldn't have minded if you were stating that about Us and Pak govt
our politicians are nothing more than little puppets working under the US

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why the fack don't you substandard-dogeating-chicoms-with-no-money-to-buy-a-condom grab your tail between your legs and move your asses out of East-Turkestan and Tibet before telling where the natives should leave?...

Look at the delusional turco-fag ranting to the Chinese haha! As if what a turco-mongol says has any value in the real world :D

I have a better idea, why don't you subhuman turkic muslim virgins move back to the steppes from Anatolia, Xinjiang and the rest of civilized world so the natives there could go back to being normal people? LOL

Your unwashed stench had stunk up the those places long enough. LOL

If it weren't for the Americans and the Europeans betraying their Christian cousins, Armenia would have annihilated your radical Islamic arses like they did to Azerbaijan.
