Forty years have passed since the first group of Tibetans followed the Dalai Lama into Exile in India. Entire families fled from Tibet taking with them only whatever they could carry over.

Soon the number of exiles rose to 80,000; it is now 130,000 and the exodus continues. They are resettled in many countries all over the world, but mainly in India where the Governments of Nepal and Bhutan also provided generous assistance for the resettlement of numerous refugees. In the initial stages, many refugees earned their livelihood from manual labour and traditional handicraft while a few made their way to Europe and North America.
