Cricket and West Indies legend Vivian Richards is fondly remembered by all as one of the most explosive batsmen to ever exist. Richards who has been retired for almost 30 years still holds the same respect and status among the cricket fraternity. He has never been shy to share his opinion on any topic, and on February 13 again he did the unthinkable when he wished Tibet, Happy Independence Day, which is still under China’s occupation.
Vivian Richards tweeted on Saturday, “Happy Independence Day, Tibet. There is a lot to go on.’

A large section of Tibetans wants independence from China and demonstration for it is done from time to time. This section of people celebrates Tibet’s Independence Day on February 13. There are a large number of Tibetans in India, especially in Dharamsala, and they have often demonstrated against China’s repressive policy.
