ABSTRACT OF THESIS POWER & POLITICS IN RESETTLEMENT: A CASE STUDY OF BHUTANESE REFUGEES This thesis examines the complexities in the resettlement of Bhutanese refugees. Using anthropological ethnographic field methods, this thesis explores the power dynamics between the employees of a resettlement organization and the refugees and the intricate webs of power within different institutions, such as local NGOs and healthcare institutions. The study argues that humanitarian actions and interventions are often driven by bureaucratic politics and policies that contradict what humanitarianism stands for as apolitical and value-neutral. These contradictions or paradoxes in humanitarianism also are also present in refugee resettlement. Analyzing these paradoxes that characterize resettlement, this thesis illuminates structural discontinuities or gaps that result from differences in expectations between the refugees and the employees of resettlement organization. Drawing on analyses of the paradoxes and complexities in resettlement, the study concludes that bureaucratic management of refugees reinforces social inequalities and hierarchies of power that masks state’s responsibility towards both the refugees and local NGOs making resettlement an unsettling process.

Despite Bhutan’s attempts to present the transition to democracy as a slow and steady process, massive human rights violations still are persisting. Society for Threatened Peoples is extremely concerned about the non recognition of religious and ethnic minorities. Bhutan officially does not recognize any minority group on the basis of religion, race, ethnicity or language. The country is presented by the authorities as a homogenous society with one culture and one religion. But in fact, Bhutan is a multi-religious, multi- cultural and multilingual country. Non-recognition of ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities According to Article 3 of the Constitution, which was signed by King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk on July 18, 2008, Buddhism is perceived as a state religion and all religious institutions have the responsibility to promote Buddhism. Any other religious activity inside Bhutan may be prosecuted in the name of an interdiction of religious conversion. Furthermore the Marriage Act of Bhutan prohibits a non- Bhutanese married to a Bhutanese citizen to promote any other religion. The non-Bhutanese has to abide by the existing religious traditions. Bhutan is a multi-ethnic country with at least three major ethnic groups and several minorities.

Not only the way it came into existence but also the manner in which it was interpreted made the process of democratization exceptional. As a land- locked country which is bordered on the north by Tibet in China and on the south by the Indian states Sikkim, West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, it was a late starter in the process of state-building.

  • Dorje Lingpa and His Rediscovery of the “Gold Needle” in Bhutan
    Dorje Lingpa and His Rediscovery of the “Gold Needle” in Bhutan Samten G. Karmay1 Introduction Among the Buddhist ritual traditions that are still preserved and carried out as the central religious constituents of the annual festivals in Bhutan today those of Dorje Lingpa (1346-1405) stand out strikingly. This is particularly so in Bumthang area, Central Bhutan. In 1998 and 1999, I have had the good fortune to witness these spectacular festivals in Ogyen chöling and, in 1999, at Jampa Lhakhang in Bumthang itself. Dorje Lingpa is considered as one of the five great “treasure revealers” (tertön) among the Nyingmapa and an important Dzogchen master by the Bonpo tradition. He was thus an exceptional figure who clearly adopted an impartial approach to both Buddhist practices and the Bon, the non-Buddhist religious tradition in Tibet, in his spiritual quest. His approach therefore made him the precursor of what is later known as the “eclectic” (rime) movement of the nineteenth century (Smith 1970). Like many other Tibetan men of religion, Dorje Lingpa never settled himself in one place. He travelled around incessantly carried away by the motivation of disclosing hidden manuscripts and it was mainly because of this urge in him that he travelled to Bhutan, then known as Mönyul or Lhomön (Cf. Pommaret 1999), where he flourished particularly. He had left in Bhutan not only his ritual legacy but also his family descendants. 1 Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris 1 Journal of Bhutan Studies Due to the studies of Michael Aris (1979: 158) and Françoise Pommaret (1997: 408, 414), the accounts of Dorje Lingpa’s descendants who established themselves there as well as those of his reincarnations are now relatively well known.

  • Bhutanese Refugees and Grassroots Activism
    37 Displaced but not Disempowered: Bhutanese Refugees and Grassroots Activism Susan Banki, Bhakta Ghimire, and Hari Khanal ABSTRACT In the early 1990s, about 80,000 ethnic Nepalis fled their home country of Bhutan and found refuge in Nepal. For more than a decade, activists from the refugee community used a variety of tactics to try to reverse the position of the Bhutanese government so they could return to Bhutan. Two of these tactics, a series of marches and digital documentation, are explored below. In this inter- Susan Banki is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Sydney. She is completing a book on political activism as carried about by refugees, focusing primarily on Bhutan’s refugee population. Bhakta Ghimire fled Bhutan when he was twenty years old. He spent eighteen years in a refugee camp in Nepal. He resettled to the United States in 2010. Today, he lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He has been working as a social worker in his community for decades. He is also a freelance journalist and editor, working with several Nepali newspapers and publishing houses. Hari Khanal fled from Bhutan when he was seventeen years old and lived in one of the Bhutanese refugee camps in eastern Nepal for seventeen years before resettling to the United States in 2008. He is the founding president of the Bhutanese Society of Western Massachusetts. Mr. Khanal has worked in many aspects of media: as an editor of Sandesh Weekly, a newspaper published in the refugee camps; as a media trainer for young people; as a correspondent for Hamro Prajasakti, a daily Nepali newspaper published from Sikkim, India; and as a reporter for Kanchanjunga FM in Jhapa, Nepal.

Box 2500, 1211 Geneva 2 Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Web Site: www.unhcr.org These papers provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates, as well as external researchers, to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. The papers do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available online under ‘publications’ at <www.unhcr.org>. ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction This paper examines the complexities in the resettlement of Bhutanese refugees. It explores the power dynamics between the employees of a refugee resettlement organization and the refugees and analyses the intricate webs of power within different institutions, such as local NGOs and healthcare institutions. The study is based on 9-weeks of ethnographic research conducted in Lexington in the summer of 2009. It addresses three questions: What are the structural discontinuities in resettlement? Are the expectations and ambitions of resettlement organization different from those of the Bhutanese refugees? If so, how are refugees impacted by these differences? Generally, humanitarianism is understood as assisting people in need of help –an action based on notions of saving humans and humanity from real and perceived danger. Since post-WWII, the number of humanitarian organizations has grown exponentially (Black 2001).
