Samtse District
Samtse District (Dzongkha: བསམ་རྩེ་རྫོང་ཁག) is one of the twenty dzongkhags of Bhutan, located in the southwestern corner of the country along the border with the Indian states of West Bengal and Sikkim. It is one of the largest and most populous districts in Bhutan, with a diverse population and an economy centred on agriculture, cross-border trade, and industrial development.
Renaming of Places in Southern Bhutan
Between the 1950s and late 1990s, the Royal Government of Bhutan systematically renamed districts, towns, gewogs, and villages across southern Bhutan from their historical Nepali-origin names to Dzongkha names. Human rights organizations and refugee communities have characterized the renaming as part of a broader pattern of cultural erasure targeting the Lhotshampa population, while the Bhutanese government has framed parts of the process as linguistic standardization.
