      @Bhutan

      Introduction Bhutan

      Background:

       In 1865, Britain and Bhutan signed the Treaty of Sinchulu, under

       which Bhutan would receive an annual subsidy in exchange for ceding

       some border land. Under British influence, a monarchy was set up in

       1907; three years later, a treaty was signed whereby the British

       agreed not to interfere in Bhutanese internal affairs and Bhutan

       allowed Britain to direct its foreign affairs. This role was assumed

       by independent India after 1947. Two years later, a formal

       Indo-Bhutanese accord returned the areas of Bhutan annexed by the

       British, formalized the annual subsidies the country received, and

       defined India's responsibilities in defense and foreign relations. A

       refugee issue of some 100,000 Bhutanese in Nepal remains unresolved;

       90% of the refugees are housed in seven United Nations Office of the

       High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) camps. Maoist Assamese

       separatists from India, who have established themselves in the

       southeast portion of Bhutan, have drawn Indian cross-border

       incursions.
