Abstract Today, more than 80,000 Americans are Bhutan-born. It took about three decades and billions of dollars in the process to move them from Bhutan to America (the USA and Canada). The Bhutanese people (now Bhutan-born Americans) of Gorkha extraction and Buddhism accommodative Hindus were adherent royalists. These people were politically marginalised in Bhutan by Drukpa rulers for more than a century. They were deprived of a global outlook of the world perspective and were kept away from political institutionalisation. They needed education on global economics, politics, diplomacy, and market. They needed wider exposure to global political orientation and behaviour. Before they could claim their political rights, they were segmented, categorised, antagonised, and evicted from Bhutan. The situation turned beyond their control. They were perceived political opponents. Based on racial, ethnic, linguistic, and religious differences, the Royal Government of Bhutan revoked their citizenship and expelled them from the country. More than 200,000 of their brethren who could survive the expulsion are still in Bhutan living with limited rights to total deprivation. Thousands of those evicted people are in hideouts in India. Others who took refuge in Nepal were invited to resettle in the USA and for diplomatic correctness in its friend countries, namely the UK, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand. The Bhutanese people have walked an adventurous journey from Bhutanese nationals to Bhutan-born Americans. The saga seems to have a happy ending here. However, the exercise to educate these people with global socio-economic-political conundrum has come to an unfortunate doldrum. Unless external catalysts educate them on their purposes, the Bhutan-born Americans are destined to remain a part and parcel of the American workforce then look back to complete the unfinished agenda or balm their brethren left behind. In this article, an attempt is made to recall in chronological order, how and when the people born in Bhutan were made American.      Keywords: Bhutanese, Bhutanese refugees, Drukpa, migration, third country…
