Tibetans as one of the most successful refugees in the world
Oct 12, 2008 | Categorized Under: Tibet | | CommentsMy gf sent me an article few weeks ago and today I had a chance to read it again. It was a review of the book named Exile as Challenge: the Tibetan Diaspora. Being a Tibetan, it was intersting to note the key three factors where Tibetan leads as an example of refugees who have obtained success in their lives:
- thriving as a community: regardless of where Tibetans have settled, they have been able to stay within or start their own Tibetan communities around the world.
- economic standards: Tibetan as a group typically standout financially in most areas they live. Examples include South India and Nepal.
- higher education: more and more Tibetans are educated and new generations are opting for careers that was once considered as an out of reach education program, such as medical and law degrees.
