The Himalaya borderland including Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal is one of the more undeveloped parts of the world. But while the British left the area undeveloped as a matter of policy, the Indian government after independence in 1947 could no longer afford to leave large tracts on the strategic Himalaya border backward while the rest of the country marched toward economic development and progress. The constitution of 1950, therefore, provided special administrative measures and legislative safeguards for all border districts, giving local officers broad authority. Several important regulations have been enacted to guard tribal rights in land and forest, and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Commission and the Tribal Advisory Boards for each border state have been functioning as watchdogs for the development and welfare of the scheduled areas and tribes. The governments of Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal have also introduced development programs, including administrative and land reforms, especially after Communist China took control of Tibet in the summer of 1951.
