Bhotiya definition

Bhotiya means an inhabitant of “Bhot” or Tibet, and is thus synonymous with “Tibetan”. It includes these residents of Sikkim and Darjeeling Hills who are of Tibetan ancestry, and who, though largely mixed with Lepacha blood, retain Tibetan speech and manners. These only are professing Lamasts and eligible to become orthodox lamas. Lepchas are not eligible.
