LANGUAGE BAN: PROTEST IN TIBET AND CHINA; NEWS REVIEW

Restriction on Tibetan Languages in Classrooms is Causing Protests

But more than this, the Tibetan languages per se have stood as the totem poles and vanguards for leading the anti-China movement. Thus, the Chinese regime is hoping that over time, once the newer generations of Tibetans start forgetting their original language, the pre-existent basis of revolt might disappear.

Language based protests across the world have led to huge revolts – even in the Asian continent, Bangladesh is a prime example of how a different language led to a separatist movement from Pakistan, despite both being Islamic states. Will the current issue lead to an endgame?
