													Under The Blue Skies is the documentation of exile experiences, touching the core existential questions of Tibetan refugees and their connection to their motherland.Addressing several themes taken up by writers across different age groups, Under The Blue Skies doubles as documentation of experiences in exile, touching the core of the existential questions of Tibetan refugees, and their connection to their motherland.

Bhuchung D Sonam, the editor of the Tibetan anthology of poetry, fiction and nonfiction works, juggles multiple roles as a poet, translator, and publisher.

Speaking at the launch of his third book at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, Sonam said, “Couple of weeks ago, I was filling out my application for a visit to Japan. I filled out my name, DOB and other details. Then there was a tiny column, ‘nationality’. I scrolled through the drop-down and I did not find my country.” “At the end of the long list, there was a word, ‘stateless’… It is hard to be a refugee but it is even harder to be a stateless person.”

It is the identity of statelessness that serves as a recurring theme in Under The Blue Skies.
