*************************
About the TIBETAN DIASPORA: The Tibetan diaspora is a term used to refer to the communities of Tibetan people living outside their original homeland of Tibet. ... Over 100,000 Tibetans live in exile, with large numbers living in India, Nepal, and Bhutan.

After the Chinese occupation of Tibet was sanctioned by the West in the 1950's, many Tibetans fled their homeland to escape persecution and to protect their Tibetan cultural heritage elsewhere.

Even today, some parents in Tibet send their children to communities in the diaspora to receive a traditional Tibetan education and preserve their way of life. ©
