Jigme Wangchuck
Jigme Wangchuck was born in 1905, at the Thinley Rabten Palace in Wangdue Phodrang District.[3] As the first son of Ugyen Wangchuck, Jigme was expected to succeed his father; accordingly, he was given the title Penlop of Trongsa in 1923.He discouraged capital punishment for all crimes besides murder, reduced the judicial fees on the citizenry, and allowed citizens to call on him to appeal the judgments of lower officials.[9] Jigme's foreign policy was primarily isolationist, though he followed his father in maintaining friendly relations with the British Raj.This treaty also saw India paying an annual subsidy to Bhutan and handing over 32 square miles of land in Dewangiri.
