	Bhutan
		In 1616, in Tibet, Ngawang Namgyal, a high monk at a Kagyu monastery, who was experiencing opposition to his incarnate status, interpreted the flight of a raven as the omen that he should move south.
		Once established in northwestern Bhutan, he was able to unify various factions there and mustered some forces that repelled invasion from Tibet.
		The current situation seems to be partly due to consequences of the 1962 conflict between India and China that threatened the autonomy of Bhutan, the absorption by India of neighboring Sikkim in 1975, and the impact of Western materialism.
