This dissertation intends to contribute towards further research and carry the conversation forward on Tibetan refugee youth in an Indian metropolis, with focus on their everyday experiences, aspirations and challenges faced in negotiating access to employment and education opportunities. Connection will also be drawn with the intergenerational experience of families, and how this collective experience has shaped the aspirations of the youth today, as well as how the youth, if at all, aspire or intend to further contribute to this experience through education and gainful employment.
