My story

We are provided with limited facilities and are bound to certain boundaries. We were not allowed to go out of the camp. They provided food stuff every fifteen days and were limited. In bigger families the given food did not last for that period and the stuff they provide was third class. I have never seen hygienic food when I was in camp. The only good thing in the camp was education. There was a school up to class ten, CARITAS used to provide everything for the students, like books, pen, beg etc. I was enrolled in that camp school, and spend almost 10 years to get high school degree.
About the housing, I still remember we have plastic roof with the bamboo pole small hut. When there is big wind we have to hold the four corners. No electricity, cooking in firewood, open bathroom, hot and humid climate, and every single thing was challenging. I know after having this all tension my father was so depressed, He tried a lot to back up the past life. With the limited rights being refugee we are not allowed to explore to outside environment, which plays great role suicide of many innocent refugee. Lots of health issue, lack of hygienic food and proper nutrition killed lots of children and old people. There was no any points to be happy, all parts of life was like open door, many young boys suicides.

My story

I don’t have clear picture of everything, being a young kid I was so happy to move different country. I still remember my father crying holding my mom’s hand. We left everything as it is, my mom cook lots of rice for our dog Beliate, we left cattle and horses in their place. My father wrote a letter and set it on the front door, I don’t know what he wrote but I believe it was for someone who will take our property and domestic animals. Carrying little bit what we can, we left our property and my play yard. After walking 6-7 hours we reached the border of Bhutan, we stay there for a week.
After that we came to eastern part of Nepal. Nearly 100,000 Bhutanese people lost their land, property and identity. This entire refugee is divided into different camp, there were 7 Bhutanese refugee camps in Nepal, and we choose to stay in Goldhap Refugee camp. For few months we stay in tents, we used to get rice and some vegetable. That place looks like hell, nothing was good. No bathroom, not sufficient drinking water, not enough food, not even basic life necessity. I know it is hard to express everything I wish I could say or write in Nepali. I pray that nobody will have such miserable life.

My story

I hardly remember anything about my native land Bhutan. I was born in small village called Lalai, my parents were farmer. My mom told me we used to have big farm of cardamom. Bhutan is a small country in between China and India, Bhutanese people called Bhutan the Land Of Dragon “Drug yul.”
Bhutan’s population is divided into three broad ethnic groups; The eastern Bhutanese known as the Sharchops , earliest inhabitants are of mongoloid origins, western Bhutanese known as Ngalungs and are also mongoloid origins and the southern Bhutanese known as the Ltotshampas, are farmer and Nepali speaking people who arrived in the country in end of 19th century (People in Bhutan).
In August 1990, several things started in the country, supreme power of country was on Ngalungs and Sharchops they started to miss use the power and started dominating the Ltotshampas. They compelled to wear their dress i.e. Bakhhu and Kira, they banned the Nepali language in school, make all Nepali woman to cut their hair and make it short, army started coming to village and rape the young and innocent girl, they did all kinds of activities which are against the human right. Finally Nepali people started fighting for human right. There was no body to listen the voice of poor and innocent people, many Nepali people are put in jail, they are torture and some are killed too. Finally government of Bhutan started doing the census and took all the citizenship and categorizes the Nepali people into different groups and forced them to leave the country. This in result 100,000 people ended up in exile life in eastern Nepal, where my family was also one.
