Tibetan Government-in-Exile Prepares for Dalai Lama Succession Amid Population Decline in India
The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) urges global preparation for the Dalai Lama's succession, opposing any reincarnation process controlled by Beijing. The CTA maintains its Middle Way Policy seeking autonomy within China despite stalled talks since 2010. Meanwhile, India's Tibetan population has declined from over 100,000 in 2010 to around 70,000-80,000 in 2026 due to fewer refugees arriving, lower birth rates, and youth migration abroad, raising concerns about sustaining community institutions.
