Since the wars out-broke in the Sino-Tibet border in the early 1940s, Tibetan traders/herders have gradually settled in North India and took Indian citizenship. In 1959, The 14th Dalai Lama along with 80,000 Tibetans fled across the three traditional Tibetan regions to India.

Following Faulks’ (2000) argument that rights imbue in social relations and consolidate beyond self-recognition, this chapter tells the story of Tibetans facing the dilemma to embed the political struggle in the local frame of rights and responsibility
