| Abstracts: The two SAARC member countries, Nepal and Bhutan hold an important geopolitical position. Traditionally, Nepal and Bhutan have enjoyed agreeable relations within political, religious and cultural fields. However, a kind of uneasy diplomatic relation between them seems to exist at present, due to the problem of Bhutanese citizens of Nepali origin who are in exile, and who have taken refuge in Jhapa and Morang districts of Nepal. The paper attempts to study the changing relationships between the two nations. |

Bhutan received its share of successive waves of pre-historic and medieval migrants. The paper explores the origin of Kurmedkha migrants, their current location and the reasons for their migration. |
