Abstract

Tibetans have been resettled in India since from 1959 onwards. India has remained the host country for Tibetans for more then 50 years. The Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959 in the name of liberation has led to taking refuge of His Holiness the 14th Dalia Lama along with few Tibetans in India as a political refugee. With this, influx of Tibetans into India has continued till 2008 unrest in Tibet with less number of Tibetans coming out from Tibet. At present, the estimated population of Tibetans living in India was 94,203 as per (Demographic Survey of Tibetans in Exile-2009). Out of this, a major portion of Tibetans have resettled in southern part of India, i.e., in Karnataka state (with 44523 as per a 2009 demographic report). Moreover, there are five Tibetan settlements in Karnataka state. The main objective of this paper is, to analyze the demographic status of Tibetans in Karnataka and to analyze the age-wise composition of Tibetans in Karnataka state. This paper is purely based on the secondary data. Statistical tools like bar graph, annual growth rate, pie charts and trends are used to measure the demographic changes in the Tibetan settlements. The results of the study reveal that there exists a difference in population among the settlements and gender differences also known as the gender ratio is unfavorable that is the male outnumber females in all the settlements, which is a demographic condition that needs immediate attention.
