I want to know the answer to the following question:
India refused China's request that the Tibetan exile community be avoided because they said India is what?
All the background I'm provided with is that "India rejected Chinese demands that the torch route be clear of India's 150,000-strong Tibetan exile community, by which they required a ban on congregation near the curtailed 3 km route.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
