My experience with Pemakoe students:

By Tashi Choedon

It was during last year of my schooling in C.S.T.Shimla, Miao students were repeatedly complaining of being discriminated by the school boys' captain off classes in their hostel. Moreover there was "Makto miao group" who shared the same problem. i was indeed upset and infact empathized for whatever happened to them. Therefore being myself as girls' captain raised that issue to the notice of everyone. I still remember, in the prayer hall all the students,everyone including Geshek la were present to discuss this matter. when miao boys were asked about the matter TO MY GREAT SURPRISE no any single person turn up,infact did not support me when the school boys' captain"lobsang tsering" whose name i still remember because of this incident and with his group even tried to put hand on me besides warning me for blaming them. i only know how "humiliated" "ashamed" and "trapped"i felt, I was proved and announced" wrong", "oversentimental" for my own people which infact wasn't true. i have got nice lectures and advices from the teachers and others as if that was my fault. When i couldnot resist,i enquired with miao group they just answered"we were scared" i was so shocked and realized that was one of the good lesson. i know how i spent my that span of last year in school after that incident. So why i am sharing this is since this forum aims for unity amongst we PEMAKOE, it should not be"just said" my experience is just a small school expereince though dreadful for me but "never let down" someone like in "bigger issue" who stands for us:)
