In Dharamsala, India, the third generation of Tibetans is growing up in Indian exile. While in the homeland Tibet, cultural and religious practices face systematic destruction, many Tibetans in India try their best to preserve these. While Tibetan cultural identity has been the subject of numerous studies, few academic publications focused specifically on youth in the diaspora. This is significant because a large part of the Tibetan population in exile is young. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Dharamsala in northern India, this thesis examines the experiences and lived realities of young Tibetans. By analyzing their individual concepts of cultural identity, the work focuses on the interplay of perceptions of the homeland Tibet, India as hostland, and the broader diaspora. This interplay is grounded in political and social conditions of the exile and the resulting challenges, as well as the political and social desires for the homeland. The young Tibetan generation in Dharamsala struggles for the continuation of Tibetan traditions, religions, languages, and culture in the diaspora. Although they share a collective memory of the history and a longing for the homeland, they pursuit individual and highly heterogeneous plans for the future. This thesis analyzes variations of "being Tibetan" in Dharamsala by evaluating different cultural aspects and experiences by Tibetans in their two countries of origins, Tibet or India. ; In Dharamsala, Indien, wächst die dritte Generation von Tibetern im indischen Exil auf. Während im Heimatland Tibet kulturelle und religiöse Praktiken der systematischen Zerstörung ausgesetzt sind, versuchen viele Tibeter in Indien ihr Bestes, diese zu bewahren. Während die tibetische kulturelle Identität Gegenstand zahlreicher Studien war, gibt es nur wenige akademische Veröffentlichungen, die sich speziell mit der Jugend in der Diaspora beschäftigen. Dies ist bedeutsam, da ein großer Teil der tibetischen Bevölkerung im Exil jung ist. Basierend auf einer ethnographischen Feldforschung in Dharamsala in Nordindien, untersucht diese Arbeit die Erfahrungen und Lebensrealitäten junger Tibeter. Durch die Analyse ihrer individuellen Konzepte von kultureller Identität konzentriert sich die Arbeit auf das Zusammenspiel von Wahrnehmungen des Heimatlandes Tibet, Indien als Gastland und der breiteren Diaspora. Dieses Zusammenspiel ist begründet in den politischen und sozialen Bedingungen des Exils und den daraus resultierenden Herausforderungen sowie den politischen und sozialen Sehnsüchten nach dem Heimatland. Die junge tibetische Generation in Dharamsala kämpft für den Fortbestand der tibetischen Traditionen, Religionen, Sprachen und Kultur in der Diaspora. Obwohl sie eine kollektive Erinnerung an die Geschichte und eine Sehnsucht nach dem Heimatland teilen, verfolgen sie individuelle und sehr heterogene Zukunftspläne. Diese Arbeit analysiert Variationen des "Tibetischseins" in Dharamsala, indem sie verschiedene kulturelle Aspekte und Erfahrungen von Tibetern in ihren beiden Herkunftsländern, Tibet oder Indien, auswertet. ; unKnown

Welcome to Dharamsala, population 20,000 and one of the most hacked places in the world. This small city in India's lush Himalayan foothills is home to the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader; the Central Tibetan Administration (formerly called the Tibetan government in exile); and a host of Tibetan media outlets and nongovernmental organizations, some of which the Chinese government classifies as terrorist groups. Communication between the city's Tibetan community and Tibet itself is easier than it has ever been. Yet the risk of dialing home has never been greater. The Chinese government is everywhere and nowhere in Dharamsala, planting malware and intercepting messages in ways that are nearly undetectable and difficult to trace. Experts say that the hacks may be part of an elaborate campaign to identify possible protests and preempt them. Few cyberattacks on Dharamsala are strategically tailored to monitor or control the city's network infrastructure, say experts. Adapted from the source document.
