India a good choice for refuge, says Tibetan government-in-exile

Thubten Samphel, the Spokesperson of the Tibetan government-in-exile, in Dharamsala on Sunday said that they have been fortunate enough to get refuge in India. In 1950, Chinese troops marched into Tibet and occupied it. An estimated 134,000 Tibetans live in exile, a majority of them in India and Nepal. Tibetans came to India in 1959.
