here are some numbers from the "tibet government in exile":
1) roughly 80,000~100,000 followers escaped to dalansala, india, in 1959. let's put 100,000.
2) roughly 2000 tibetans sneaked out and join dalai lama, according to the "tibet government in exile".
3) most recent census for the tibetan exiles (global figure) is roughly around 125,000.
let's assume most of those followers in 1959 were NOT lamas (well, most of those were).
in nowadays tibet, the rate of population growth is 1.3%. for the rate of population growth of india, it is about 1.5% (we don't have the rate of population growth for tibetan exiles). let's use the mean value of 1.4% to calculate the population growth of the tibetan exiles.
1) the population growth from those 100,000 (1959) after the 50 years (1959-2009) should be:
100,000 *(1+1.4%)^50=200400
2) for those 2000 escapees joined dalai every year(so claimed by the "tibet government in exile"), the population growth after 50 years (1959-2009) should be:
2000*(1.014+1.014^2+1.014^3+1.014^4+.....1.014^50)=1*(1.014650-1)/(1.014-1)=143429
so the overall population growth, according to the dalai lama side figure should be:
200400+143429=343,829. let's make it 340,000 so that it would be in favor of the "tibet government in exile".
the numbers above are under assumption that those monks married those nuns.
now the number 125,000 (census by the "tibet government in exile") and the calculated number 343,829 according to the junior high math don't seem to match.
now we have a $1,000 question, where are the problems?
could be:
1) not that many followers as the "tibet government in exile" claimed.
2) the life in abroad for those exiles is so bad that the tibetan exiles actually have negative population growth.
ok any issue with my translation?
