I think you have it backwards. Whereas India and China have been
conquered and ruled by everyone from the Greeks to the Mongols, often
changing religions, and until recently have been nothing but
collections of regions controlled by various kinds of warlords, Bhutan
has been fairly coherent Buddhist entity since the 700s, unconquered
and unconquerable. Bhutan has driven historical forces in southern
Asia many times before, and is doing so again today.
