TIBET : Tibetan Village Nepal 1975

The Tibetan people are a people indigenous to Tibet and surrounding areas stretching from Central Asia in the West to Myanmar and China in the East.

The Government of Tibet in Exile claims that the number of Tibetans has fallen from 6,330,567 to 5.4 million since 1959 [4], while the government of the People's Republic of China claims that the number of Tibetans has risen from 2.7 million to 5.4 million since 1954 [5]. The SIL Ethnologue documents an additional 125,000 Tibetan exiles living in India, 60,000 in Nepal, and 4,000 in Bhutan.

Tibetan exile groups estimate the death toll in Tibet since the invasion of the People's Liberation Army in 1950 to be 1,200,000

I think you're wrong, techinacally. These people may represent a first wave of refugees who fled Tibet after the invasion, but many Tibetan sub-groups (e.g., Bhutia) are in fact indigenous to Nepal and have existed there for many centuries. People of the Mustang, Dolpo, Solakumbhu, and Bhotkhola regions of Nepal trace their linage directly to old Tibet. Similarly, Ladakhi people represent a Tibetan sub-cuture indigenous to northern India, as do many in Sikkim, AP,etc

i think those people were the first generation of Tibetan that ever lived in Nepal. Now they've progressed so much.
