The tension between some Bhutanese and Nepali communities primarily stems from historical, political, and cultural factors. In the late 20th century, the Bhutanese government implemented policies aimed at promoting a distinct national identity, which marginalized Nepali-speaking populations, leading to displacement and resentment. This has fostered negative perceptions and conflicts, particularly due to the complexities of citizenship and ethnic identity in Bhutan. Additionally, the legacy of these tensions continues to influence the relationship between the two groups today.
