Lhakar is a Tibetan word which can be translated literally as « White Wednesday » and occasionally as « pure dedication ». It refers to the self-reliance Tibetan movement which appeared after the Tibet uprising against Chinese rule. The movement is based on a non violence strategy, applied through social, cultural, and economical activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lhakar )〕 == Origin == The Lhakar movement stems from disagreements on the historic, cultural and political status of Tibet, as either an independent country, or as an integral part of the country of China. In 1950, a Chinese military invasion led by Mao Zedong invaded and subsequently took control of Tibet. Since then Tibet has officially been under the Chinese government and Tibetans are classified as one of China’s 56 recognized ethnic groups. However tensions between China and Tibet have gradually increased since that period as groups within Tibet wish to be independent from China. These tensions took form through rebellious acts. During the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s Tibet’s struggle for independence took the form of armed resistance. Then, from the 1980s,resistance was transformed into a non-violent, clergy-led protest, until 2008, where a new type of resistance took place, street protests. Indeed, after the Tibet uprising in spring 2008 the Chinese authorities increased their military presence in that region. In response to China’s military enforcement, the Tibetans have adapted their forms of resistance, hence the birth of the Lhakar movement. Inspired by nonviolent methods, such as Mahatma Gandhi’s, the Lhakar movement has been encouraging the affirmation of Tibetan cultural identity, and this has been visible predominantly from 2008 to the present. Since then, Tibetans have been doing things such as wearing traditional clothes, or speaking Tibetan language. Beginning as a campaign to take simple and practical actions on Wednesdays (the Dalai Lama's soul day), to assert Tibetan cultural identity has evolved into a widespread non-cooperation and self-reliance movement inside Tibet. A growing number of Tibetans are eating only in Tibetan restaurants and boycotting Chinese businesses on Wednesdays. Lhakar makes use of low-risked, sustainable socio-economic activities to try to initiate change. On November 6, 2010, in Dharamsala approximately 50 monks and nuns started protests in order to demand Chinese respect toward freedom of the Tibetan language. However, it was mainly on November 9, 2010, in Dharamsala, that this protest expanded- around 700 Tibetan monks and nuns, the majority being from Sershul Monastery, were a part of this. They were then stopped by security forces in the Tibetan region of Zachukha during their march towards Sershul. The purpose of this long march was, according to the protesters, to demand ‘freedom, ‘equality’ and more importantly ‘freedom of language’. These protests were triggered by the event of Chinese authorities confiscating boxes containing money from voluntary fine operations that had taken place among the Tibetan population. Those were completed as an act of punishment for those who spoke ‘Drak kay’, a term used to describe a mix of Chinese and Tibetan languages. Chinese authorities were against this; however, with the protests for the return of those boxes, the punitive practice was discontinued by the Chinese authorities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lhakar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
