Background
The story is of a tiny land-locked kingdom, Bhutan in the foothills of Himalayas. Nestling between Tibet and India, Bhutan is commonly portrayed as Shangri-la ...but ... behind the enchanting image of a land lost in time, lurks a more disturbing reality of victimization, forced eviction, and ethnic cleansing on a scale that most of the world is virtually unaware of.
Several waves of Nepalese people migrated to Bhutan over the past few hundred years attracted as cheap labour. They settled in the south and worked the lowlands.
Until 1985 there was no animosity recorded in Bhutan despite its ethnic diversity and Bhutan was indeed called the Land of Peaceful Dragon.
