By accepting the refugees, the US and the western nations are basically paying the price for the sin of India. The political backdrop of Bhutan purging the residents of Hindu Nepali origin is to avoid the fate of Sikkim, its fellow Himalayan kingdom that India invaded and annexed in 1975 using the guise of democracy (and the Western nations turning a blind eye on it). India has worked for years to use residents of Sikkim of Hindu Nepali origin to 'vote' Sikkim into India. Bhutan does not want to go down the way of Sikkim, hence we have the refugees today.

Here are links of what happened to Sikkim in 1975:
