Geographical and Historical Background of Education in Bhutan
Chapter 2 Geographical and Historical Background of Education in Bhutan Geographical Background There is a great debate regarding from where the name of „Bhutan‟ appears. In old Tibetan chronicles Bhutan was called Mon-Yul (Land of the Mon). Another theory explaining the origin of the name „Bhutan‟ is derived from Sanskrit „Bhotanta‟ where Tibet was referred to as „Bhota‟ and „anta‟ means end i. e. the geographical area at the end of Tibet.1 Another possible explanation again derived from Sanskrit could be Bhu-uttan standing for highland, which of course it is.2 Some scholars think that the name „Bhutan‟ has come from Bhota (Bod) which means Tibet and „tan‟, a corruption of stan as found in Indo-Persian names such as „Hindustan‟, „Baluchistan‟ and „Afganistan‟etc.3 Another explanation is that “It seems quite likely that the name „Bhutan‟ has come from the word „Bhotanam‟(Desah iti Sesah) i.e., the land of the Bhotas much the same way as the name „Iran‟ came from „Aryanam‟(Desah), Rajputana came from „Rajputanam‟, and „Gandoana‟ came from „Gandakanam‟. Thus literally „Bhutan‟ means the land of the „Bhotas‟-people speaking a Tibetan dialect.”4 But according to Bhutanese scholars like Lopen Nado and Lopen Pemala, Bhutan is called Lho Mon or land of the south i.e. south of Tibet.5 However, the Bhutanese themselves prefer to use the term Drukyul- the land of Thunder Dragon, a name originating from the word Druk meaning „thunder dragon‟, which in turn is derived from Drukpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Bhutan presents a striking example of how the geographical setting of a country influences social, economic and political life of the people.

HIGHER STIn the vertiginousAT mountainsE of Bhutan, where happiness is akin to holiness, bicycling has become much more than a national pastime. It’s a spiritual journey. BY JODY ROSEN OF BEINPHOTOGRAPHSG BY SIMON ROBERTS N BHUTAN, THERE IS A KING who rides a bicycle up and down the mountains. Like many stories you will hear in this tiny Himalayan nation, it sounds like a fairy tale. In fact, itís hard news. Jigme Singye IWangchuck, Bhutanís fourth Druk Gyalpo, or Dragon King, is an avid cyclist who can often be found pedaling the steep foothills that ring the capital city, Thimphu. All Bhutanese know about the kingís passion for cycling, to which he has increasingly devoted his spare time since December 2006, when he relinquished the crown to his eldest son. In Thimphu, many tell tales of close encounters, or near-misses ó the time they pulled over their car to chat with the bicycling monarch, the time they spotted him, or someone who looked quite like him, on an early-morning ride. If you spend any time in Thimphu, you may soon find yourself scanning its mist-mantled slopes. That guy on the mountain bike, darting out of the fog bank on the road up near the giant Buddha statue: Is that His Majesty? SOUL CYCLE The fourth king is the most beloved figure in A rider in the Tour of the Dragon, a modern Bhutanese history, with a biography 166.5-mile, one-day that has the flavor of myth. He became bike race through the mountains of Bhutan, Bhutanís head of state in 1972 when he was just alongside the Druk 16 years old, following the death of his father, Wangyal Lhakhang Jigme Dorji Wangchuck.

Skating the Routes
Information About Bhutan Bhutan is a country nestled in the Eastern Himalayas. The high Himalayas to the north and west separate the kingdom from Tibet and the south and east border India. Regions of the country are some of the most remote in the world. A conscious policy of isolation complemented by formidable geographical barriers has enabled the kingdom to maintain its independence throughout its history and as a result its culture and traditions have thrived without external influences. The government is committed to keeping it this way, so all tourism is strongly regulated and only local tour operators can lead groups through the region. The restrictions are tight and solo travel is not encouraged. In fact, Bhutan imposes a daily surcharge for groups under three travelers! A mountain trek is one of the best ways to experience the Himalaya. You will experience Bhutan's natural wonders first-hand when travelling the mountain passes. Our journey will bring us through this isolated kingdom that was opened to the West in 1974. This trip is truly adventure travel where we give up comforts that we’re used to and gain insight into another culture. Be prepared to give up our Western way of thinking and experience another way of life. Namaste! Much of the information in this document is from http://www.tourism.gov.bt Gross National Happiness Economists the world over have argued that the key to happiness is obtaining and enjoying material development. Bhutan however, adheres to a very different belief and advocates that amassing material wealth does not necessarily lead to happiness.

Inaugural Address by the Hon Speaker During the 8Th Session of the First Parliament
INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY THE HON SPEAKER DURING THE 8TH SESSION OF THE FIRST PARLIAMENT 1. As the historic 8th Session of the Parliament begins on this auspicious day, it is indeed an opportune moment for the Members of Parliament, to be able to pledge Oath of Allegiance to democratic constitutional monarch, His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck in pursuant to the provision of the Constitution of Bhutan. This rare opportunity has been occasioned due to the blessings of Triple Gem, merit of the people and fruition of our collective destiny. 2. After the submissions made by the Hon Prime Minister and some of the Members, it is needless for me to add on it. However, on behalf of the rest of the Members and on my own behalf, I would like to reiterate that as Bhutan was going through continuous period of internal strife, diseases and calamities without any peace and happiness, the Government, Dratshang, Regional Chieftains and the entire Bhutanese People unanimously enthroned Gongsa Ugyen Wangchuck as the first hereditary monarch of Bhutan on 17th December, 1907 to usher peace, stability and happiness in the country. Similarly, this was resonated by His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo during His Coronation on 2nd June, 1974. 3. Today, the offering of Oath of Allegiance to democratic constitutional monarch by the representatives of the people after 104 years marks the epoch making era in which the happiness, socio-economic development and the security and independence of the country is enhanced and strengthened. 4. This has been possible due to the strong and unflinching dedication, trust and confidence of the Bhutanese people in the Wangchuk dynasty.

As the Chairman of the Drafting Committee, I was associated with “the making” of the Constitution under the guidance of His Majesty and had occasion to traverse the long route from the past to the present. The book chronicles the long history of Bhutan, from beyond 1907, when the first hereditary Monarch was installed and its onward march. It also narrates its traditions, culture, philosophy based in Buddhist ideology and precepts. The people to uphold Bhutan’s unique identity and the unrivalled role of the Monarchs in holding the peoples’ rights as sacrosanct and divine preserving, protecting, and sustaining the rights of the people for all times to come. The book explains the intent and the concept which are at the root of each provision of the Constitution. The book underscores the reality that the Constitution is indeed the Supreme Law of the nation and throws light on the structure of polity. It has been carved out in the Constitution to maintain a harmonious equity between the State and the Citizens. The book wends its way from the past to the present and covers the active involvement of Their Majesties and the people (interactive sessions).

The will of man matched the warrant of history. The cloistered and sheltered valleys and hamlets awoke to the call of the moment. The doors opened. We embraced the brotherhood of nations. The land of the peaceful dragon has moved on… It has been a most exciting journey – at once baffling, at once beckoning. The inexorable logic development has not thrown us adrift though. Thanks to the wisdom of our forefathers and the vision of our enlightened leaders, we have sailed along keeping our souls largely intact while at the same time reaping the fruits of the endeavors of the wider community of mankind. From the simple complements of an agrarian society soaked in the values of religion, we have stepped on the threshold of the digital age.
