Remembering their roots

Gorkha Association at Dharamshala, India has been preserving the language and culture of Gorkhalis over the years—ensuring that its members don’t forget their mother tongue.

Dharamshala is one of the many touristic regions in Himachal Pradesh. This is also where Dalai Lama took refuge after China captured Tibet. Along with him, many Tibetians reside in Dharamshala. There is also an abundance of Gorkhali people present there. They have been living here for more than 200 hundred years. However, their roots go back to Nepal.
