RELATED PRODUCTSBhutan’s entry to the United Nations Organisation brought this small kingdom to the focus of world attention. Despite its long and eventful history, Bhutan has ever remained shrouded in mystery and earned the alluring name of being the ‘land of hidden treasures’.
Nestled in the southern flank of the lofty Himalayas at the periphery of the eastern frontier of India, Bhutan has, during the course of centuries, evolved a distinctive culture with a political, economic and social fabric unique to itself and at once calm and peaceful.
This treatise by the author, who was associated with Bhutan as its Constitutional Adviser, deals at some length with the social, economic and political evolution of the life of the people and trances the emergence of a modern State. Taking the thread from the pre- Christian era when some of the monarchs of Ancient Aryavarta may be said to have influenced the course of Bhutanese history, the author follows the developments of the Middle Ages, highlighting the constitutional position of the Deb Raja and the Dharma Raja an narrating in detail the great reforms introduced by the State to the UN, and concludes with the enthronement of the youngest monarch of the world. The economic development of the State in recent times has also been narrated along with its political relations with India.
