There is an intractable nature of Sino – Tibetan conflict in the present scenario of world affairs. Where on one hand there is institutional set-up of the Chinese State and the goal of the State is established and on the other hand there is ethnic nature of Tibetan nationalism and their religious standings.The paradoxical interplay of nation- building and ethnic -conflict management arguing that different States choose different paths in pursuit of their nation building mission is a much analytical subject. There is a wide gap between the application of laws in the the ethnic minority races and the Constitutional provisions as China is an authoritarian State and everything on paper is subordinate to the State or the party interest. Further there is an exclusive mono-nation building in China that threatens the identities of ethnic minorities in the country. The rise of minority nationalism (esp. Tibetans) as a reaction to this majority nationalism has a feedback effect on the survival of the Chinese regime. Both the sides perceive the other as a threat, further threatening any bilateral dialogues and thus this ethnic conflict is perpetuated and intensified overtime.
