Washington: China is making efforts to tighten the grip in Tibet. China is now forcing the people of Tibet to pay less attention to their religion and show more enthusiasm for president Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP.
According to the media report, China is making efforts to eradicate the Dalai Lama from the religious lives of Tibetans to crush their identity.
The Chinese government occupied Tibet in 1950 and has ever since tried to control the region. The Dalai Lama escaped to India in 1959 and the 10the Panchen Lama (Lobsang Trinley Lhundrup Choekyi Gyaltsen) stayed behind in Tibet. Amny times, he spoke against Chinese government many times and wrote a report chronicling Tibet's famines in the 1960s. As per The Economist, the Tibetan religion like that of Muslim followers in Xinjiang is undergoing what the CCP term as "sinicisation". In Tibetan and Xinjiang, the Chinese authorities have launched attacks on people's religion and cultural traditions. While the Uyghurs have been moved to "re-education camps", the farmers of Tibet have been moved to modern housing in or near towns and cities. Moreover, the Tibetan language has been replaced with Mandarin similar to that in Xinjiang.
