A martyr or a leader?
The reality of the situation is that the Dalai Lama would've died decades ago if he hadn't continued to preach nonviolence (which I do believe he sincerely believes in). To suggest that he would've had the same spiritual and political influence if he'd been shot in the head by an assassin in the nineteen-forties or fifties is absurd.
