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.
Samtse Dzong
Samtse Dzong is the administrative headquarters of Samtse District in southern Bhutan. Established in the 1970s, it is a relatively modern dzong that serves as the seat of district governance. Located in the subtropical lowlands near the Indian border, Samtse Dzong reflects a different architectural context from the great medieval dzongs of western and central Bhutan.
