Restriction on Tibetan Languages in Classrooms is Causing Protests
It’s rightly said that history repeats itself, but in this case, history repeated itself even before it comfortably established itself as history. Two weeks back, Tibetan students in Rebkong and Chabcha in Amdo (Qinghai province) and Tawu in Kham (Sichuan province) started protesting over restrictions on the use of Tibetan languages in classrooms. This protest has now spread and has also influenced Chinese students. In Beijing, over 500 Tibetan students from the Tibetan Studies department of Minzu University of China reportedly raised their voice over this issue. This is quite similar to the anti-government violent uprising that took place two years ago over Tibetan freedom.
The three notable Tibetan languages are Zhe-sa, Phal-skad and Chos-skad. There is a looming fear that the current bilingual system in Tibet will be scrapped by China in favour of using Mandarin Chinese alone. This move is seen by Tibetans to be a step to curb and contain the Tibetan culture. This also is clearly a deliberate move by the Chinese regime to motivate China’s ethnic Han majority to migrate to Tibet (as currently the language barrier is one of the prime issues against such migration and against non-Tibetans taking up jobs within Tibet), and thus, over time, ensure that the numerical percentage of ethnic Tibetans in Tibet starts reducing.
