How did India help Tibetan refugees who fled with the 14th Dalai Lama?

When the 14th Dalai Lama fled to India in March 1959, the Indian government provided him and his party with asylum.12

Following the Lhasa uprising, tens of thousands of Tibetans followed the Dalai Lama into exile. To manage this influx, the Indian government was reluctant to allow all refugees to concentrate in a single region. Instead, it facilitated the creation of settlements across the Indian subcontinent. In these areas, the asylum-seeking Tibetans were able to establish farming communities and build monasteries, which were essential for the preservation of Tibetan culture.3

Additionally, the Dalai Lama established his government-in-exile in Dharamshala, located in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, which has served as his residence since 1960.3
