Tibetans are living in exile in many countries but majority of them reside in India as other countries come under pressure of china and do not welcome them. They have been able to preserve their identity only in India and Nepal. In other countries they lose their Tibetan identity and are unable to preserve their culture due to their small numbers as well as because of the policies of these countries.
