. . "The Tibetan diaspora is a term used to refer to the communities of Tibetan people living outside the People's Republic of China. Tibetan emigration has three separate stages. The first stage was in 1959 following the 14th Dalai Lama's pilgrimage to Dharamsala in India, in fear of persecution from the Red Army. The second stage happened in the 1980s, when Tibet opened up to foreigners under PRC pressure and China force."@en .
