Summary/Abstract |
Since most of South Asian Tibetan refugees have not secured formal immigration status in their host countries, their dispersion has expanded to other continents. Compared to those Tibetans living in South Asia, Europe and North America, Tibetans in Australia and New Zealand emigrated there on their own, married citizens, or went to study, work, or engage in religious or cultural activities. Tibetan diasporization in Oceania has proven successful. There are only around 60 Tibetans residing in Japan, some of them hold a Taiwanese (Republic of China) passport, which makes it easier to obtain a Japanese visa, and others are fulltime staff members of the liaison office of the Dalai Lama in Japan. Under Seoul's stringent immigration laws, less than 20 Tibetans reside in South Korea, mostly on work visas. Tibetan exiles and their supporters often protest to the Visiting Chinese Leaders or Embassy of China in Oceania and developed Asian countries.

Summary/Abstract |
Refugees often experience adverse circumstances as a consequence of displacement from their homes due to conflict, directly affecting their happiness and well-being. This study focuses on Tibetan refugees because of their relatively successful transition into other parts of the world, their effective advocacy to improve their plight and the gradual reduction of repression on the part of China’s government against them. The literature reveals that happiness among refugees is usually a consequence of the interplay of various factors in their destination country. This study seeks to verify the exact nature of these claims by considering the influence life satisfaction, life orientation and the environment has on the happiness of young Tibetan refugees in India. The study concludes with recommendations for stakeholders, including relief organizations, psychologists and counsellors.
