Bhutan's National Bibliography Dorji Penjore Compiler The Centre for Bhutan Studies Pal Drug Zhibjug Tewa Bhutan's National Bibliography 2002 The Centre for Bhutan Studies ISBN 99936-14-03-3 First Published: November 2002 The Centre for Bhutan Studies (CBS) Langjophakha Post Box No. 1111 Thimphu: Bhutan Tel: 975-2-321005, 321111 Fax: 975-2-321001 e-mail: [email protected] www.bhutanstudies.org.bt This edition is printed for free distribution to institutes, organizations and individuals interested in conducting research on Bhutan. Contents Acknowledgment Introduction, i-iv Part One: Books.............................................................................................1 Part Two: Books on Bhutan with other regions.......................................47 Part Three: Articles from Journals and Papers......................................67 Part Four: Publications of Education Department..................................89 Acknowledgement The Centre would like to thank Dr. Jagar Dorji, Director, National Institute of Education, Paro and Mr. Jigme Lodey, Curriculum and Professional Support Division, (CAPSD) for information on publication of Education Department. To staff of the National Library, Ms. Ngawang Choden, Ms. Tshewang Chozom and Ms. Yangzom in particular, for giving unfettered access to the national legal deposits and libraries. To proprietors of Pe Khang and DSB enterprises for allowing us to browse their bookstalls. The Centre has used Ramesh C. Dogra's Bhutan- World Bibliographical Series, Vol.116 to get some entries not available in the country, and we are grateful to him. Besides, the Centre owes thanks to many individuals whose names are beyond the scope of this page. Introduction The Centre for Bhutan Studies has come up with this publication in the absence of a national bibliography. Earlier, some bibliographies were published by non-Bhutanese authors and publishers. However, the entries and circulation were limited. Therefore, the Council of the Centre for Bhutan Studies assigned the Centre in 2001 to compile a comprehensive national bibliography and make it accessible to a larger readership. Bhutan's National Bibliography is the first attempt to record all major publications in our country. It would help researchers, scholars, academics and institutions interested in conducting research studies on Bhutan. Bibliographies differ in size, scope and method according to their design and purpose. In most countries they are compiled and published by the national libraries and agencies involved in collecting copies of national publications deposited in accordance with provisions of copyright and legal deposit acts. The Centre has taken this responsibility as the national ISBN (International Standard Book Numbering) agency. In most national bibliographies, the entries are normally classified in order of alphabetical index of authors, titles and subjects. Some provide books summaries, page numbers, editions, maps, and prices. These vital information could not be provided in this bibliography since most books on Bhutan published by non-Bhutanese authors are not available in the country. Some are either out of print, limited in number or even unknown to us. Bhutan's National Bibliography Bhutan's National Bibliography is a simple compilation of information based on the Harvard System or author date system, where author's name (surname) is written first, followed by year of publication, title of book, place of publication, and publisher's name. The entries are listed in alphabetical index of author's surname. Divided into four parts, the first part lists all books on Bhutan. For instance, there is an entry, Aris, Michael 1994 The Raven Crown: The Origins of Buddhist Monarchy in Bhutan London: Serindia Publications. This entry should be read as, Michael Aris is the author of The Raven Crown: The Origins of Buddhist Monarchy in Bhutan, published in 1994 by Serindia Publications in London. The second part lists books where a half or a part of it is about Bhutan. Some books also have a chapter or parts of contents about Bhutan. Rustomji, Nari K. 1971 Enchanted Frontiers: Sikkim, Bhutan and India’s North-Eastern Borderlands Delhi: Oxford University Press means that the author of Enchanted Frontiers: Sikkim, Bhutan and India’s North-Eastern Borderlands is Nari K. Rustomji. It was published in 1971 by Oxford University Press in Delhi. The book contains information on Bhutan, including Sikkim and northeast Indian states. ii Introduction The abbreviation 'N.A.' stands for 'Not Available'. It was inserted where information on author, publication year, title, place and name of publisher are not available. Part three contains some selected research articles and papers published in some important journals and magazines. Similarly the entry, Haas, Ernest 1974 The coronation of a young King reflects the colorful history of Bhutan in ancient days In "Smithsonian", Vol.V, No.6, pp.53-63 should be understood as, the article The coronation of a young King reflects the colorful history of Bhutan in ancient days appears in page 53- 63, Volume V, No. 6 issue of 'Smithsonian' magazine published in 1974. This section provides some additional information like volume, issue and page numbers of a journal wherein a paper or article can be found. The publications of Education Department constitute the last part. The books are mostly textbooks, and some teaching manuals written by Curriculum and Professional Support Division (CAPSD) and Non-Formal Education Division (NFED). In fact, CAPSD has been the largest publisher in the country, followed by Dzongkha Development Commission and the Centre for Bhutan Studies. A few other publications of Education Department are also included in the first part. Any bibliography would normally contain information on encyclopedia, books, journals, magazines articles, booklets, pamphlets, leaflets, maps, Internet references, CD-ROMs and other sources. But the present compilation is limited to books and journals. Except for some, all entries iii Bhutan's National Bibliography in Bhutan's National Bibliography are of books written in English. But this does not indicate a lack of books in Dzongkha or Chökey. A whole corpus of national literature in Chökey and some in Dzongkha written in different genres such as namthar, debthar, gyalrab, lozey, tsangmo and other important scriptures authored by Bhutanese are not included. These very important works will be incorporated in the next edition. This is the first step in process of compiling a comprehensive and authoritative national bibliography. The Centre is aware of its inadequacies and limitations. We hope that readers would contribute in our effort by informing us of books, articles and other publications on Bhutan missing in this edition of the national bibliography.

    Himalayan Linguistics Segmental and Suprasegmental Features of Brokpa

    Himalayan Linguistics Segmental and suprasegmental features of Brokpa Pema Wangdi James Cook University ABSTRACT This paper analyzes segmental and suprasegmental features of Brokpa, a Trans-Himalayan (Tibeto- Burman) language belonging to the Central Bodish (Tibetic) subgroup. Segmental phonology includes segments of speech including consonants and vowels and how they make up syllables. Suprasegmental features include register tone system and stress. We examine how syllable weight or moraicity plays a determining role in the placement of stress, a major criterion for phonological word in Brokpa; we also look at some other evidence for phonological words in this language. We argue that synchronic segmental and suprasegmental features of Brokpa provide evidence in favour of a number of innovative processes in this archaic Bodish language. We conclude that Brokpa, a language historically rich in consonant clusters with a simple vowel system and a relatively simple prosodic system, is losing its consonant clusters and developing additional complexities including lexical tones. KEYWORDS Parallelism in drift, pitch harmony, register tone, stress, suprasegmental This is a contribution from Himalayan Linguistics, Vol. 19(1): 393-422 ISSN 1544-7502 © 2020. All rights reserved.

This paper aims at analysing its segmental and suprasegmental features. We begin with a brief background information and basic typological features of Brokpa in §1.

According to Tournadre & Dorje (2003: 110), the evidentiality systeM of Lhasa Tibetan (LT) distinguishes no less than four “evidential Moods”: (i) egophoric, (ii) testiMonial, (iii) inferential, and (iv) assertive. If one also takes into account the hearsay Marker, which is cOMMonly considered as an evidential category in typological survey studies (e.g. Aikhenvald 2004; Hengeveld & Dall’Aglio Hattnher 2015; inter alia), LT displays a five-fold evidential distinction. The LT systeM, however, is clearly not the Most cOMplex of its kind within the Tibetan linguistic area.

    SLSA Annual report 2013 Archaeology in the Kingdom of Bhuta n: Exploring the Country’s Prehistory Peter Fux 1, Christoph Walser 2, Namgyel Tshering 3 Abstract By today, archaeological insight into the cultural history of the Kingdom of Bhutan in the eastern Himalayas is still lacking. In the course of the ongoing Bhutan-Swiss col - laboration project in order to institutionalize archaeology, not only highly important sites were detected but also the exigency of archaeological regulations and site pro - tection becomes evident. On the basis of interviews with local informants, the authors conducted field sur - veys and documented the cultural landscape in the mythical core area of the Tang val - ley in central Bhutan. The general picture composed of collected data seems to illus - trate a mythical or Buddhist-historical meaning of manifold historical and prehistoric sites which is generally accepted and venerated by the local society. Nowadays however, Bhutan faces enormous cultural changes, mainly caused by rapidly increasing tourism influx and information technology. As a consequence, myth - ical-religious beliefs, which have protected archaeological sites from looting, are weak - ening to a certain extent. This danger of cultural heritage loss becomes evident by a looted chorten on top of a prehistoric burial mound.

    Sixth Semester Geography Notes (Unit-I) by Dr Rafiq Ahmad Hajam (Deptt. of Geography GDC Boys Anantnag) Cell No. 9797127509 GEOGRAPHY OF INDIA The word geography was coined by Eratosthenes, a Greek philosopher and mathematician, in 3rd century B.C. For his contribution in the discipline, he is regarded as the father of Geography. Location: India as a country, a part of earth‟s surface, is located in the Northern-Eastern Hemispheres between 80 4 N and 370 6 N latitudes and 680 7 E and 970 25 E longitudes. If the islands are taken into consideration, the southern extent goes up to 60 45 N. In India, Tropic of Cancer (230 30 N latitude) passes through eight states namely (from west to east) Gujarat, Rajasthan, MP, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura and Mizoram. Time: the 820 30E longitude is taken as the Indian Standard Time meridian as it passes through middle (Allahabad) of the country. It is equal to 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT. Same longitude is used by Nepal and Sri Lanka. Size and Shape: India is the 7th largest country in the world with an area of 3287263 sq. km (32.87 lakh sq. km=3.287 million sq. km), after Russia, Canada, China, USA, Brazil and Australia. It constitutes 0.64% of the total geographical area of the world and 2.4% of the total land surface area of the world. The area of India is 20 times that of Britain and almost equal to the area of Europe excluding Russia. Rajasthan (342000 sq.

  • Geography Behind History

    Geography Behind History

    20. There is a cOlltinuing crisis ofleadership in the politics of Sri Lanka. The clash between the two parties, one, represented by the president of the country and the other, represented by the Prime Minister is a symptom of political factionalism. This divergence of opinion between the two national political parties disturbs the peace process. The Sri Lankan establishment has to make a finu and honest effort to resolve 3 the problem of militancy and the causes responsible for it. Geography Behind History In this chapter, we have tried to describe the physical framework of the South Asian subcontinent. An attempt has been made to recognize the major physiographic regions. The underlying assumption is that the geographical factors determine the boundaries between the regions and within the regions. The evolution of the state from ancient India to the modern times bas been analysed. Different streams of ethnic and ethno#lingual groups came to occupy the subcontinent at different points of time and that set the stage for ethnic intermixing par excellence. The chapter also contains the material on region formation and their geographical extent and boundaries. Two types of regions have been identified: (a) regions based on physiography; and (b) regions based on agro#climatology. There are references to regionalism and regional consciousness of the people of the subcontinent in modern history. The assumption is that geography sets the stage on which the human drama is enacted. It is this terrestrial space on which patterns emerge indicating the on#going process of interaction between nature and the humankind. A general description of geography of the subcontinent is to serve as the foundation for historical exploration (Sastri 1981: 34).

David Bradley, La Trobe University Assistant Editor You-Jing Lin, Academia Sinica Technical Expert Carlos M Nash, University of California Santa Barbara Himalayan Linguistics is an online peer-reviewed journal specializing in the languages of the Himalayan region. We also publish grammars, dictionaries, and text collections. Himalayan Linguistics is free; that is, there is no subscription fee. The primary reason for this — and, indeed, for using the web journal as opposed to the printed paper format — is to make the information contained in the journal accessible to scholars in developing countries, in particular the countries of the Himalayan region. Web access is steadily increasing in these areas, and this technology allows fast and affordable access to current research. It is our hope that scholars from the Himalayan region will not only be able to access Himalayan Linguistics, but will also be active contributors to it. The term "Himalayan" is used in its broad sense to include north-western and north-eastern India, where languages of Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman, and Austro-Asiatic linguistic stocks are spoken; the languages of Nepal, Bhutan and the Tibetan Plateau; the languages of northern Burma and Sichuan; and the languages of Nuristan, Baltistan and the Burushaski speaking area in the west.
