It's time to show the new generation’s face to the global community.



We are the new generation of Tibet. We have many responsibilities to keep our traditional cultures and language alive - as much as we can every single day. Our language is our identity and we can be recognised for our country. The nation of Tibet has a long history and an especially rich culture.  Our forefathers were dedicated to the language and our country. During that time, Tibet was an extremely powerful country in Asia both economically and politically. We can read about the light of Tibetan history and the rich culture now through books. But unfortunately today, many Tibetan’s do get the opportunity to get education about Tibetan culture and language but they do not realise the value of the Tibetan wisdom source.  This is the main point we have to think about and understand the detail. Also as one Tibetan youth writer says, that it does not matter how much we change our hair and eye-brow colour, our blood is still Tibetan.

As Tibetan’s we have to learn the Tibetan language. The Tibetan language is the soul of Tibet. Most of our new generation of Tibetan’s in exile have killed our language. Why?  This is a complicated question for people who currently live in exile. Tibetan people who lived in Tibet always try to speak pure Tibetan language under the oppression of the People’s Republic of China government. One time I called my friend in Tibet who did not get the opportunity to study. He knew plenty of new words which I had not heard before. That shows that they do pay more attention to the Tibetan language and culture and are trying to keep alive our specific dignity. Tibetan language is the key to our protest and keeping it alive. We also need to know about Tibetan history. As a human being who needs unlimited courage, what are we looking for in life? We are neglecting to practice to our language as usual. We Tibetan’s are playing our life like a game......how can we speak with our great forefathers about what is happening in exile ?
