Hosts Jamyang Norbu and Tendor sit down with Dr. Gyal Lo, a leading expert on China's assimilation and education policies in Tibet, to discuss the systematic elimination of Tibetan language and culture through colonial boarding schools. They examine how China’s education policy in Tibet has become a colonial tool for control and suppression and draw parallels to other assimilation projects worldwide. They explore the dangers of linguistic and cultural erasure, and why preserving Tibetan language is essential to preserving Tibetan identity itself.
