Bhutan's primary history is steeped in myth and remains vague. Some structures prove that Bhutan was like 2000 BC. According to a legend it is governed or controlled by King Sangaldip of Cooch Behar, the 7th century, [1] but not many were known before the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism in the 9th century Tibet was known to force a lot of turmoil Bhutan fled to Bhutan in the 12th century, Durapa Kamupa School was established and Bhutan has been influenced by Buddhism today. The political history of the country is closely related to its religious history and relationships between schools and monasteries of different mathas. [2] Bhutan is only one of the few countries which has been independent in their history, has never won, occupied, or ruled by external power (apart from irregular nominal subdivisional status). Though it was thought that it was under Kamarupe's kingdom or Tibetan empire from the 7th to the 9th century, there is a lack of strong evidence. From historical details it is clear, Bhutan has consistently and successfully defending its sovereignty. [3] Ngwanag Namgyal, known as Lama Zhabdrung Rinpoche from West Tibet, defeated three Tibetan attack rival religious schools Basch, Tsa Yig, a complex and comprehensive system of law and established itself on a system of cultural and citizen administrators ruling over 1616 occurred when the consolidation of Bhutan occurred 1616. After his death, Jabrbrun was crushed to power for the next 200 years and civil war broke down. In 1885, Uzien Wangchuk was able to consolidate the power and tried to build a close relationship with the British in India. [2] In 1907, Ugyen Wangchuk was elected honored on 17 December 1907 by the hereditary ruler of Bhutan, and installed as Druk Gyalpo (Dragon King) head of state. In 1910, King Ugyen and the British signed the Punda Agreement that if India accepts external consultation in external relations, then Bhutan will not interfere in internal matters. Wozen Wangchuck died in 1926, his son Jigme Wangchuk became the governor, and when India attained independence, in 1947, the new Indian government recognized Bhutan as an independent country. In 1949, India and Bhutan signed the Treaty of Peace and Friendship, which India would not interfere in the internal affairs of Bhutan, but instead would oversee its foreign policy. His son, Jigme Dorji Wangchuk, succeeded in 1952, Bhutan started gradually from its separation and started a program of planned development. The Bhutanese National Assembly, the Royal Bhutanese Army and the Royal Court of Justice were established with a new statute. [2] Bhutan became a member of the United Nations in 1971. In 1972, Singh Wangchuk ascended the throne at the age of 16. [4] He emphasized on modern education, decentralization of governance, rural development and tourism development and development of rural development. He was probably well-known for his comprehensive development philosophy of "universal national happiness". It acknowledges that there is a lot of development and only economic goals are not enough. Satisfied with the process of democratization of Bhutan's conversion, he left the throne in December 2006 instead of waiting until his son, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck made the king over his resignation in 2008, of the new constitution.
