  • Divergent Refugee and Tribal Cosmopolitanism in Dharamshala
    Divergent Refugee and Tribal Cosmopolitanism in Dharamshala STEPHEN CHRISTOPHER Abstract This article analyses the divergent, and occasionally overlapping, trajectories of Tibetan refugee and Gaddi tribal cosmopolitanism in Dharamshala, North In- dia. In a place self-consciously branded as cosmopolitan, where Tibetan ethno- commodification is the primary symbolic currency, practices of inclusivity can broadly give way to Gaddi exclusions. Cosmopolitanism as an ordering ideology and set of intercultural competencies, often predicated on the dyadic relationship between Tibetan refugees and international tourists, propels Gad- di resentments and coarsens intergroup sociality. This does not mean, howev- er, that Gaddis are forever consigned to tribal backwardness and reactionary forms of communal aspiration. Gaddis have forged an alternate, grounded cosmopolitanism based on cultural skills fostered through pastoral transhu- mance, seasonal labour migration corresponding with foreign tourists and on- going ethnopolitical redefinition of what it means to be tribal itself. By seeing past utopian propaganda and dystopian exaggerations about Dharamshala, a richer tapestry of group relations emerges which reveals divergent cosmopoli- tanisms in the promotion of shared struggles for state recognition and cultural preservation. Keywords: Scheduled Tribe Dalit (STD); ethno-commodification; mobility; Tibetan diaspora; Gaddi In 1959, thousands of Tibetan refugees, together with the Dalai Lama, fled from the violent incorporation of their homeland by
