World will Regret Its Neglect of Tibet: Tibetan PM January 18, 2012 Jan 18 (IANS): The international community is setting a bad precedence by not backing Tibet's non-violent struggle even when monks are self-immolating out of helplessness, says Tibetan leader Lobsang Sangay. "If the Tibetan movement is not supported ... there are many other struggles around the world… What will they think?" Sangay, prime minister of the Tibetan government-in-exile, asked. Sangay, who was here on his way from Bodh Gaya in Bihar to Dharamsala, his base in Himachal Pradesh, himself gave the answer. "They will say it's not worth investing in non-violence and democracy," he said.

Star drag-flicker Sandeep Singh converted a late penalty corner to hand India a 2-1 win over South Africa in the second hockey Test in New Delhi on Tuesday.  India now leads the five-Test series 2-0. The home team had on Monday defeated South Africa 4-0 in the series opener. The Indians scored their goals late in both the halves through Chingelsana Singh (33rd minute) and Sandeep (68th), while Lance Louw (43rd) was the lone goal getter for South Africa at the Dhyan Chand national stadium in New Delhi. Despite the win, the Indians were far from impressive today and looked scrappy throughout the 70 minutes. As expected India coach Michael Nobbs made nine changes in the starting line-up and gave the captain's armband to Tushar Khandekar, who played his 200th...
