In 900, ethnic Tibetan forces expelled Indian princes from parts of modern Bhutan. The region, nestled in the eastern Himalayas, had long been a territory of interest for both Tibetan and Indian rulers. The Tibetan forces, backed by a strong sense of cultural and ethnic identity, sought to assert their dominance in the area by removing the Indian influence. This event marked a pivotal shift in power dynamics in the region, as the traditional rulers were ousted and replaced by leaders with closer ties to Tibet.
The expulsion of the Indian princes had a lasting impact on the political landscape of modern-day Bhutan. It solidified Tibetan influence in the region and paved the way for the establishment of a distinct Bhutanese identity that drew elements from both Tibetan and Indian cultures. The event also laid the foundation for future conflicts and alliances in the area, shaping the course of Bhutanese history for centuries to come.
