Search for: [Abstract = %22This article describes a religious minority group called the B%C3%B6npo who live in Tibet %5C(China%5C)%2C Nepal and India. B%C3%B6npos live in villages%2C in scattered communities and in two Tibetan refugee B%C3%B6npo camps in Himachal Pradesh %5C(India%5C) and in Kathmandu Valley %5C(Nepal%5C). This article presents the social policy of religious leaders from both camps%2C who have been mixing different ethnic groups and nations in one camp in order to help this niche culture survive. One of the effects of such policies carried out over the last 50 years is the deep influence of Tibetanness on Himalayan people%2C mostly from Mustang and Dolpo%2C who have grown up in B%C3%B6npo refugee camps. In the article%2C I analyse population data in detail to show how small the B%C3%B6npo community is and why their leaders have pursued such a social policy focused on religious and Tibetan identification despite ethnic and national differences%22]
