This extraordinary book, born from years of research and scholarship, serves to showcase the emotionally harrowing yet uplifting stories of Tibetan refugees in India. Dr Paola Martanis impressive academic credentials and experience living within the Tibetan community leave her uniquely positioned to weave together these fascinatingly factual narratives into a coherent collection. This book is a must-read for anyone who considers themselves a 21st century global citizen. -- Professor Giuliano Boccalli, Indian studies and Sanskrit literature, Universitá Statale di Milano. Each chapter of this book tells the dramatic and emotional personal narrative of a single Tibetan refugee, interwoven with historical context and facts. The story-tellers each have something poignant and intriguing to share with the reader, and one cannot help but be intensely emotionally affected by their experiences. -- Rajat Shukal, Global Head and Principal Partner, Asiaone magazine
