I remember when i first came in Srinagar long time ago, i met this small old man. He said "Liu Sha" and him were school mates. I noticed the style of their livelihood in homes were very similar to tibetan style of living. Till today, this is how we lived together. There used to be some members of tibetan muslim community working for Tibetan Government in exile in Dharamshala but recently there's been a stoppage of staffs. But i hope in near future this would resume.
This is my understanding.. I quote "I am very pleased to hear you two speak in Tibetan. Those of you, who practice Tibetan Muslim, even though our religion & rituals are different, we are all Tibetans by traits. Historically we are all from Tibet and that we are all tibetans even if some of you were brought up here in Srinagar, Ladakh and like. About 400 years ago, we were all from the likes of Lhasa, Shigatse, Tsedang and others in Tibet.
Whether you are a girl or boy, if you are educated and willing, It would be very nice to have some of you (2- 3) working in CTA government just to keep a good relationship between our two communities. Right now, we are living in exile, and if we continue to live together harmoniously and bonded, in future there surely will be a change in political situation in Tibet if not in near future. Incase if there is a change, I am sure some of you will definitely want to return to Tibet.
(He asked if the speaker wants to return to Tibet... Speaker replied, i would love to visit.. his holiness laughs..) So, when we are working hard towards our goal, we must work together and join hands. In happy times, we all will return to our country(TIbet) with joy, happiness and with full pride. Therefore, it will be nice if some of your people could work in CTA government, please keep that in mind.
And as per the financial situation with the school, the union government will surely help but if help needed in future in terms of monetary especially, please do not hesitate to let us know.(speaker thanks...Audience claps). Lastly, It is our responsibility to work hard sincerely with unity. So Thank you. " Unquote.
