Now, China has involved itself in clamping down Tibet’s religious identity and culture. United Nations Human Rights experts have stated that as per statistics, China has forcefully separated 10 lakh Tibetan children from their parents, and have put them into boarding schools. Experts added that they were worried because of China’s policy to assimilate the Tibetan identity with the majority of the Han-Chinese community, which is being done through taking action against Tibetan educational, religious, and linguistic organizations.
They further stated that with the boarding-school culture of the Chinese government, the children of the Tibetan minority have been affected with the policy aimed at erasing the Tibetan people’s cultural, religious, and linguistic identity. It is being believed that this programme has been initiated in order to assimilate the Tibetan people into the Han cultural majority.
As per the experts, Tibetan children are forgetting their mother tongue as a result of the Chinese clampdown, and they are facing difficulties in speaking the Tibetan language, and this is leading to the end of their identity.
