Tsirang District
Tsirang District (Dzongkha: རྩི་རང་རྫོང་ཁག) is a district in south-central Bhutan characterised by its subtropical climate, rugged terrain, and diverse population.

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.
