For more than six decades, India has been the lifeline of Tibetan culture, traditions and religious studies. Since the Dalai Lama’s exile in 1959, India has not only provided refuge to thousands of Tibetans, but has also played a crucial role in ensuring their cultural survival. Through dedicated settlements, educational institutions and religious centers, India has fostered an environment where Tibetan heritage thrives, despite Beijing’s relentless efforts to erase it.
India’s decision to welcome Tibetan refugees was not merely an act of humanitarianism — it was a commitment to preserving a civilization under threat. The establishment of Tibetan settlements across India, particularly in Dharamsala, Karnataka and Arunachal Pradesh, has allowed Tibetans to maintain their distinct identity while integrating into Indian society. These settlements have become self-sustaining communities, ensuring that Tibetan language, customs and traditions remain intact.
