Bhutan is going through a rapid transition. From the spiritual ethos and beliefs which inform people’s worldview and mindset through behavior and lifestyle to natural landscape and economy. Bhutan is today witnessing a widespread transformation. The ethnographic accounts in this collection document the traditional cultures of four remote communities in Bhutan – Ngangla Trong, Lotokuchu, Lumbey and Kengkhar – and the challenges which confront them in the face of rapid modernization and globalization. The articles in this book capture the nostalgia, excitement, dilemma and misgivings of a society at a cultural crossroads.
