The History Of Bhutan - Tapa dura

As the title suggests this book is about the history of the kingdom of Bhutan by a Bhutanese Scholar. I ordered the book on Flipkart and got a very prompt delivery within 3 days. Received the package today itself and have started reading the book. I am planning to visit Bhutan and this book is proving to be rich source of information about the history and heritage of the kingdom. Really a value for money. --Partha Sarathi Dutta

The first-ever full length history of Bhutan by one of its most pre-eminent scholars In recent years, the remote kingdom of Bhutan has increasingly attracted the attention of the world. In 2008, it emerged as the world s youngest democracy and in the same year crowned the world s youngest monarch. This was followed by the new King s colourful wedding in 2011. Today, it continues to enchant the rest of the world with its policy of Gross National Happiness and has become a very popular destination for travel. But, despite its growing popularity and the rising scholarly interest in the country, Bhutan remains one of the most poorly studied places on earth.
