Thupten Sangyal, Selling Sweaters on the Mussoorie Mall: In addition to other modes of occupation, Tibetans in India have taken to small-scale business to supplement their income. One of the most popular side jobs in which Tibetans are engaged on a seasonal basis is sweater-selling. Purchased from Indian factories, Tibetan entrepreneurs sell these sweaters throughout the country, moving from town to town as the market demands.
