China’s Inner Mongolia, where Mongolians are in a minority of only 20 per cent of the total population of 23 million, has been going through a Jasmine type Revolution with a difference since May 10. There have been widespread protests in different towns following the death of a herdsman by name Mergen who was allegedly killed by a Han Chinese truck driver when local herdsmen protested against mining operations in their area. Mergen was among a group of Mongolians who attempted to block a caravan of coal-hauling trucks in Xilingol.
