Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
A Tibetan language contest in Tibet has been cancelled by Chinese authorities who say it had “political implications” and that the Tibetan language contained words that could be used to express opposition to Chinese rule. The competition required contestants to speak “pure” Tibetan free of Chinese or any other language. The event was scheduled for February 21, International Mother Language Day.
