The scene of a burning body walking on the street looks horrible to many people though, self-immolation is regarded as the highest form of non-violence by some saying that it is simply killing oneself for the "great course of Tibet independence".

Their reason is that self-immolation is a suicidal act that bears no harm to others and the society; it is a personal sacrifice to conduct a non-violent protest. Thus, the leaders of the "Tibet government-in-exile" have claimed self-immolation as the highest form of non-violence, and want to compare themselves to Mahatma Gandhi.

Obviously, their propaganda has been sold well among some western groups and media. But, it cannot easily fool everyone, especially those who specialized in religion research.

"The real ‘Nonviolent and Noncooperation Movements' is the act of politicians themselves, but not inciting youngsters to self-immolate for them. That sort of propaganda cannot stand firm. Moreover, the core difference of the self-immolators is they are not politicians but young and innocent victims. Inciting the naive young people to commit fiery suicide is like murdering them, which is nowhere near the 'Nonviolent and Noncooperation Movement'", said by Professor and Doctor Zhuo Xinping, who is also a researcher specialized in comparative religion research.

So, who is talking about the "Nonviolent and Noncooperation Movement"?

The initiator is Mahatma Gandhi, a great Indian leader for Indian people's emancipation course from the colonial administration of the Britain. Another alleged follower is a politician who has never been to Tibet but cultivating a cult for the so-called "Tibet Independence" and manipulating teenagers to self-immolate for his own "holy course".

It is clear to distinguish between the "Nonviolent and Noncooperation Movement" and a bold political conspiracy.

Zhuo Xinping is the director of the Institute of World Religions, and the professor and researcher from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. He graduated as a PhD from the University of Munich and is specialized in Christianity and comparative religion research.
