Description

During the early 1990s, about 95,000 people arrived in eastern Nepal. They claimed to have come from Bhutan, and they alleged that they had been forced out of their homelands by the Bhutanese government. Very few believed them, and even now, not a single one of these refugees has returned to Bhutan. This text explains who these people are and why they left Bhutan. It also examines the broader implications of their story for a world awash with refugees.
