More About Bhutan
Officially known as the Kingdom of Bhutan, is a landlocked country located in the Eastern Himalayas between China and India. Bhutan is known as the “Land of the Thunder Dragon,” or “Druk Yul.” Although Nepal and Bangladesh are close neighbours, they do not share a land border. The country has a population of over 754,000 people and a land area of 38,394 square kilometres (14,824 square miles), ranking 133rd in terms of land area and 160th in terms of population. Bhutan is a constitutional monarchy and the state religion is Vajrayana Buddhism.
The country’s lush subtropical plains in the south give way to the subalpine Himalayan mountains in the north. There are peaks in Bhutan’s Himalayas that rise more than 7,000 metres (23,000 feet) above sea level. Gangkhar Puensum is Bhutan’s highest peak and the world’s highest unclimbed mountain. Bhutan’s wildlife is notable for its diversity, including the Himalayan takin. Thimphu is the capital and largest city.
Bhutan and neighbouring Tibet witnessed the spread of Buddhism, which originated in the Indian subcontinent during Gautama Buddha’s lifetime. The Vajrayana school of Buddhism spread to Bhutan from the southern Pala Empire of Bengal in the first millennium. During the decline of Buddhism in India, Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim, and parts of Nepal became the last bastions of the Mahayana schools. Bhutan was also influenced by the Tibetan Empire.
Ngawang Namgyal united the valleys of Bhutan into a single state in the 16th century. Namgyal defeated three Tibetan invasions, subjugated rival religious schools, codified the Tsa Yig legal system, and established a theocratic and civil administration government. Namgyal was the first Zhabdrung Rinpoche, and his successors served as Bhutan’s spiritual leaders, similar to the Dalai Lama in Tibet. During the 17th century, ruled over large swaths of northeast India, Sikkim, and Nepal, as well as Cooch Behar State. During the Bhutan War in the nineteenth century, Bhutan ceded the Bengal Duars to British India.
The House of Wangchuck ascended to the throne and sought closer ties with the British in the subcontinent. In exchange for internal autonomy, a treaty was signed in 1910 that guaranteed British advice on foreign policy. The arrangement was maintained through a new treaty with India in 1949, in which both countries recognised the sovereignty of the other. Bhutan became a member of the United Nations in 1971. Since then, it has established diplomatic relations with 55 countries, including Bangladesh, Israel, Kuwait, Brazil, Japan, Thailand, and Turkey, as well as the European Union. Maintains its own military units despite its reliance on the Indian military.
The 2008 Constitution creates a parliamentary government with an elected National Assembly and a National Council. Bhutan was one of the founding members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). Bhutan ranked third in South Asia in the Human Development Index in 2020, trailing only Sri Lanka and the Maldives. It is also a member of the Climate Vulnerable Forum, the Non-Aligned Movement, BIMSTEC, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, UNESCO, and the World Health Organization (WHO). It ranked first in SAARC in 2016 in terms of economic freedom, ease of doing business, peace, and lack of corruption. Has one of the world’s largest hydropower water reserves. Climate change-related glacier melting is a growing concern in Bhutan.
