The deaf spy at the heart of the Himalayas. The suspicion never fails to spread his venom along the 4,000 km border separating India from China, rivals of the new emerging world. A young Tibetan has to bear the brunt of this "Great Game" of the snowy peaks. He has 25 years, draped with red madder, shaved head.
He called Ogyen Trinley Dorje, but it is known better under the title of the seventeenth Karmapa. Third highest dignitary of the schools of Tibetan Buddhism - alongside the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama - the "Victorious Holder enlightened activity" is suspect in the eyes of some services from New Delhi to the imagination.
The Karmapa was nice to have fled Chinese rule in Tibet and took refuge in early 2000 in Dharamsala, a town of Himachal Pradesh of India (North) where the Tibetans in exile have planted their capital. He may be very close to the Dalai Lama, Tibet's freedom icon. All this hardly n'émeut the sleuths of the Intelligence Bureau of India.
Behind the scenes, they feed the nasty rumor: the young master Tibetan reincarnation of a sage born in 1100, is in fact a "Chinese spy". Old and tenacious, suspicion has suddenly re-emerge and inspire a very unfortunate incident. The historical friendship between India and Tibet in exile hosted on its soil - 90 000 refugees - is suddenly a shade sail sad.
It all started with the discovery, January 27, a pretty kitty Gyuto Tantric Monastery, residence of the Karmapa, near Dharamsala. Following a raid, the police put their hands on a $ 1.1 million in cash. The little treasure comprises of tickets from 25 countries. Investigators do not care too much for Japanese yen, the Korean Won, Canadian dollars or the Malaysian ringgit.
They are rather obsessed with the Chinese yuan, representing around 15% of the total. The Chinese yuan unearthed at the Karmapa! And if you pulled the wire from the famous Beijing conspiracy, old suspicion? Is that, upon his arrival in Dharamsala in January 2000, the young exile seemed fishy to Indian services.
His desperate flight across the Himalayas they seemed too fantastic to be honest. One scenario began to take shape: the Karmapa would be a false dissident sent by Beijing to sever the Tibetan community in exile after the death of the Dalai Lama. Doubt was so deep that the Indian police has always corseted his freedom of movement.
In ten years' exile, he could not leave India once. It was a visit to the United States in 2008. So the discovery of small treasure of the monastery is a godsend. Fever takes hold of the police in Himachal Pradesh. The Karmapa is spent on the grill long hearings. The computers of the institute are tantric skinned.
SIM cards for mobile phones peeled. And the Indian press, fueled by "sources" asks bluntly: "The Karmapa is there a Chinese spy?" The weekly magazine India Today as finely: "Hidden dragon crouching llama" ("Hidden Dragon, lama tapi") with reference to the famous movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).
The Tibetans have collapsed by this horror media stock at the foot of the Himalayas. The followers of the Karma Kagyu school, which the Karmapa is the head, a tributary of the icy heights and march under her balcony, candles in hand and lips trembling mantras. The Dalai Lama himself intervenes to show his support for the Karmapa defamed.
And it is justified. The treasure of banknotes? The result of donations worldwide, says he. The Chinese yuan? His followers are legion in mainland China and also engaged obols, "he says. The cache of the monastery? His foundation, Karmaa Garchen Trust, says he has moult once requested the Indian authorities permission to file a foreign bank account, request remained unanswered.
The purpose of money? Buy a piece of land to establish his own monastery, because it still lacks a monastery of their own, "he replies. Throughout the interrogation, the Karmapa's responses seem convincing. The theory of "Chinese spy" unraveling. The incident will leave a legacy. Between India and the Tibetans, just a crack to open it? Officially, nothing is tragic.
"It is a disappointment, but it will not alter the relationship between India and the Tibetans, who is too old and too deep to be easily damaged," Tempa Tsering reassured the representative of the Dalai Lama in New Delhi. Phurbu Thinley, the director of the Tibet Phayul news agency based in Dharamsala, agrees, but adds a caveat: "The religious sentiments of Tibetans have been injured." Others are more worried.
"China wins this episode without having lifted a finger" analysis, in an interview with Zeenews site. com, Dibyesh Anand, an expert on Tibet at the University of Westminster. He anticipates that it will become difficult for the young Karmapa to succeed - as political leader of Tibetans - the Dalai Lama after the death of it, thus weakening the Tibetans vis-à-vis China.
