Niranjan, while I sympathize with the Tibetan Cause, your argument here is completely specious. There are only 250-300 sovereign states in the world but there are literally thousands of separate ethnic groups, each with it's own homeland. Not only do the majority of the world's ethno-cultural groups not have independant states, it is not clear that it would be even possible for them to do so, or desirable if it were possible....
It's offtopic, I have to respond to the idiot who mentioned the Falkland Islands. The Falklands had no human inhabitants, not Hispanic, not Amerindian, No People Period, when Britain colonized it with English settlers. The Argentine claim to the islands is a hand-me-down from the Spanish Empire (which the Argentines violently overthrew when they won independance).
So where did Spain get it's claim from? Nowheres, that's where. They completely pulled it out of their a** . Spain's claim to the Falklands was (like their claim to the American West) just another one of the Spanish monarchy's psychotic delusions. No one was obligated to take it seriously then.... or now.

Thats not an accurate statement. It all depends on which side you are on too. Taiwan thinks they should be independent and China doesn't. There are 3-4 groups in China alone that believe they should be their own country. There are groups and areas, that people believe should be independent.

It is not a country unless it has independence.
How can it be the only country without independence when independence is what makes a country?
