More about Bhutan

  • ACEINLAND: Modern history of Bhutan from World War I to today, covering all major events on politics, economy, society, and technology.

Location

Bhutan borders China (Tibet) to the north and India (states of Sikkim, West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh) to the west, south and east.

Bhutan is a mountainous country. Located on the southern flank of the eastern Himalayas , its extensive landscape structure is determined by an orographic three-way division: the glaciated main chains of the High Himalayas (6,000–7,000 m above sea level; in Chomo Lhari are 7,314 m, in Kula Kangri 7,554 m Reached above sea level) in the north; the chains of the Front Himalayas (2,000–5,000 m above sea level) in the middle section; the Siwalik chains of the Himalayan foothills (up to 800 m above sea level) in the south.

In the extreme south, Bhutan also has a 8–13 km wide strip of the duar zone of the Ganges-Brahmaputra plain. Tributaries of the Brahmaputra running from north to south form several parallel valley ranges, the middle sections of which (2,000–3,000 m above sea level) are the economic and cultural core areas of the country.

Climate

While the damming rains of the southwest monsoon (June to October) in the Siwalik chains and on the chains of the Front Himalayas bring up to 5,000 mm of precipitation annually, the intramontane basins and the foot zones of the breakthrough valleys are rather dry (500–700 mm); Due to the favorable summer temperature conditions (20-25 ° C, in the dry and cool winter, on the other hand, 4-5 ° C), rice can be grown here on artificial field terraces. From 5,500 m above sea level, the summer precipitation also falls as snow. Check a2zcamerablog to see Bhutan Tour Plan.

Population

The population is made up of three large groups: The largest group is made up of the Sharchop in Central and Eastern Bhutan. They are followers of the old Tibetan Nyingmapa school of Buddhism; their language is the Sharchopkha. The Tibetan Mongolian Ngalong live predominantly in the western and northern areas of Bhutan. They immigrated from Tibet since the 9th century and increasingly since the 17th century and belong to the Tibetan Buddhist Drukpa Kagyu school. The royal house of the country also comes from their circle. The Lhotshampa (own name: Nepali) have immigrated to southern Bhutan from Nepal or northeast India since the end of the 19th century. They speak Nepali and are mostly Hindus. Indian immigrants also live in the south. There are also smaller groups,.

With 20 residents / km 2 , Bhutan is only very sparsely populated. The majority of the population operates subsistence agriculture and lives in villages, scattered settlements and farmsteads. The proportion of the urban population is 38%. Bigger cities besides Thimphu are the former capital and winter residence Punakha, Paro, Phuentsholing, Gaylegphug and Samdrup Jongkhar.

Social: The standard of living of the population is very low, there are no social security systems at the state level. Improvements in the healthcare system led to an increase in life expectancy to (2014) 69.0 years (men 68.1; women 70.0 years).

Religion

About 75% of the population are Buddhists; the descendants of the immigrants from Nepal and India are predominantly Hindus (less than 25%). There are also minorities of Muslims, Christians and followers of traditional Tibetan religions (including the Bon religion). Mahayana Buddhism with Tibetan characteristics in the form of the Drukpa Kagyu school (Tibetan Buddhism) is carried through the monasteries and ordained monks. Before the constitution was introduced, Buddhism was the state religion.

History

Domestically, in 1998 the King considerably expanded the rights of the National Assembly and initiated a fundamental constitutional reform with the aim of transitioning to a constitutional monarchy; this was received rather cautiously by the majority of the royal population.

On December 14, 2006, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck abdicated in favor of his son Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk (* 1980) ; however, the official accession to the throne did not take place until November 6, 2008, as the country’s astrologers had described 2007 as a dark year. However, Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk had already taken over the official business de facto in 2006 and signed a revised friendship treaty with India during a visit to New Delhi on February 8, 2007.

Parliamentary elections for which two parties had received registration were held for the first time in Bhutan on March 24, 2008. The – somewhat more consequently royalist – DPT achieved a clear victory over the PDP with 44 mandates. On July 18, 2008, the king enacted the country’s first written constitution. On October 13, 2011, he married Jetsun Pema (* 1990), a commoner. In the run-up to the parliamentary elections in 2013, India cut subsidies for Bhutan, which resulted in a drastic rise in energy prices. In the elections in July 2013, the PDP, which had campaigned for an understanding with India, surprisingly won 32 seats. The previously ruling DPT had to be content with 15 seats.
