by Kalsang Gyatso Kunor (Author)
The Inspiring Journey of a Tibetan Refugee
This compelling narrative follows the journey of a Tibetan refugee, Kalsang Kunor, from his nomadic-trading roots in the Gampa region of Tibet, through his experiences as a residential student and his honored work with the Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamshala, India, to his life with his wife and the families of his two sons in the United States.
His story unveils the resilience and struggles of the Tibetan people as they fled their homeland following the 1959 Communist Chinese occupation. Resorting to makeshift shelters and laboring on roads in Sikkim, India, as "coolies," Tibetan refugees faced numerous hardships while successfully rebuilding their traditional lives and communities in exile.
Through his experiences, this educator recounts the triumphs and challenges of preserving Tibetan culture and identity amid displacement. He offers readers a firsthand perspective on the refugees' efforts to maintain their heritage, both in India, Nepal, and the West, and provides valuable insights into safeguarding Tibetan language and culture against ongoing threats. With clarity and courage, he addresses the persistent disinformation campaigns targeting Tibetan history and identity, inviting readers to understand the truth about Tibet and its people.
