Dawa Norbu (born in July 1949) was a former professor of Central Asian Studies at the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, and an honorary fellow at Durham University, United Kingdom. He was a Tibetan intellectual and writer.
He published books and contributed to various academic journals.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Early Life
He was born in Tashigang, Sakya, in Central Tibet in July 1949. However, he had to escape his country due to the Chinese occupation. On November 1959, he, along with his mother and a few family members, fled Tibet.[7][8]
Crossing the high Himalayas, and fearing capture by the Chinese army, they managed to escape and reach Gangtok, Sikkim.
While in Sikkim, like many other Tibetan refugees, he found employment on a road construction project in North Sikkim.[9] After the winter of 1959–60, his family moved to Darjeeling in West Bengal.[10]
In January 1963, he was selected to study at Dr. Graham's Homes school in Kalimpong, West Bengal. He completed his high school education in 1969, whereupon he worked for seven months at the Tibetan Industrial Rehabilitation Society (TIRS) in New Delhi.
In 1969, he gained admission to St. Stephen's College at Delhi University, India.[11]
Career
In June 1972, he took charge of the Tibetan Review and edited it until September 1976. During his editorship, the Tibetan Review gained prominence.[12]
As editor of the Tibetan Review, he wrote critically about the policies of the Central Tibetan Administration and exile leadership, as well as those of the Chinese government in Tibet.
In 1974, he published his first book, Red Star Over Tibet, through Collins.[13][14]
In 1976, he went to the University of California, Berkeley to pursue a doctorate in Political Science. After completing his degree, he taught at San Francisco State University,[15] before returning to India in 1983.
Return to India
After living for a few years in the United States, he returned to India and took a teaching position at North Bengal University in 1983.
After four years, in 1987, he became an Associate Professor in the School of International Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India.[16] His areas of specialization were Central Asia, Tibet, and non-Western nationalism.[17]
He studied Tibet in terms of modern history, politics, and international relations, and opened new avenues of thought about Tibet.[18]
He served as a visiting professor at Durham University and as a visiting scholar at Harvard University.
During his career, he published many books and numerous research articles.
