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. One of the smaller districts, Tsirang was significantly affected by the events of the 1990s refugee crisis and has since been a focus of government resettlement and rural development programmes.
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.
