  • 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.

  • Monpas of Black Mountain Forest of Bhutan: a Study of Socio-Cultural Sensibility and Transition
    The Himalayan Review 37 (2006) 39-52 39 Monpas of Black Mountain Forest of Bhutan: A Study of Socio-Cultural Sensibility and Transition Raghubir Chand, Ph.D. [email protected] Abstract One small, isolated and less assimilated tribal stock inhabited at the Black Mountain forest of central Bhutan is identifi ed as Monpas. These people are certainly different than the Mon race that is spread out in various parts of the Himalaya. The Monpas of Bhutan possess their distinct identity with pre- Buddhist ethnic beliefs and often described as the aboriginal indigenous inhabitants of the country. A sharper focus on the internal life of Monpas, however, reveals that they have an integral social relation with mountains and the forests. They are not yet properly explored and there exists an urgent quest to bring them to national mainstream in on going development context of Bhutan. This fascinating fi eld based investigation being fi rst research attempt in Monpas of Bhutan so far, has a direct relevance to the basic objective of promoting the understanding of society and environmental interaction of mountain communities of this very less known part of the Himalaya. Key words: Tribal, indigenous, mountains, society, environment, interaction, relevance The Monpas and Monyul The history of Monpas is deeply wrapped in the mystery of the past because of the number of reasons. Before the advent of the Drukpa school of Buddhism founded in the 12th century A.D. in Bhutan, the Tibetans called Bhutan as the Lhomon or Monyul. In the Tibetan dictionaries, the word Mon is defi ned as the general name for different nations and tribes living between Tibet and Indian plains who from remote antiquity have lived by hunting.

FORMALIZING THE INFORMAL: DEVELOPMENT AND ITS IMPACTS ON TRADITIONAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN BHUTAN Stephan Sonnenberg* INTRODUCTION Bhutan is a small landlocked country with less than a million inhabitants, wedged between the two most populous nations on earth, India and China.1 It is known for its stunning Himalayan mountain ranges and its national development philosophy of pursuing “Gross National Happiness” (GNH).2 This paper argues, however, that Bhutan should also be known for its rich heritage of traditional dispute resolution. That system kept the peace in Bhutanese villages for centuries: the product of Bhutan’s unique history and its deep (primarily Buddhist) spiritual heritage. Sadly, these traditions are today at risk of extinction, victims—it is argued below—of Bhutan’s extraordinary process of modernization.

  • Additional Financing of Phuentsholing Township Development Project (RRP BHU 50165)
    Additional Financing of Phuentsholing Township Development Project (RRP BHU 50165) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): MULTISECTOR (AGRICULTURE, NATURAL RESOURCES, AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT; AND WATER AND OTHER URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES)1 A. Sector Road Map 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Bhutan, a mountainous country with a population of 757,042, is one of the fastest urbanizing economies in South Asia.2 The country’s urbanization rate has increased from 23% in 1998 to 41% in 2018. In addition to their natural growth, Bhutanese cities are also experiencing heavy inwards migration because of availability of economic opportunities and access to facilities and education systems. The urban population is expected to reach 56.8% by 2047. This growth has mainly occurred in Thimphu, the capital, and Phuentsholing, Bhutan’s second largest city.3 Rapid urbanization coupled with a lack of comprehensive planning has left urban areas with inadequate and unsustainable infrastructure. Further, poor spatial planning and development controls have led to urban overcrowding, environmental degradation, and encroachment into unsafe environments. Flood risk, water shortages, and pollution are key challenges facing many of Bhutan’s towns. 2. Rural and urban flood protection. Towns in Bhutan experience flooding and riverbank erosion each year during the monsoon season. Phuentsholing, which is located on the banks of the Amochhu River, a major Himalayan river, has suffered significantly from flood damage and riverbank erosion from seven notable events between 1993 to 2015. Monsoon-triggered flash floods are also becoming more frequent because of dense development, the loss of natural ground cover, and climate change. In 2009, Cyclone Alia, the most devastating event in Bhutan’s recent history, caused significant loss of land and infrastructure.
