The Tibetans in India live in separate colonies or settle-ments. Through the_centuries India has welcomed and absorbed foreigners and refugees who have retained their separate religions, language and culture, but have at the same time merged into the main-stream of life. Budhism is the religion of Tibetans. Parallel with the Tibetans would be the Parsees who arrived as refugees from religious persecution from Persia some 1400=500 years ago.

The government issue arms and ammunition to each household. All men between 20 and 50 years of age must do military service and until the age of 32, must attend military colleges for 20 days every year and one at least for 90 days.
