representante británico
(in Bhutan)
In the British Empire, a political officer or political agent was an officer of the imperial civil administration, as opposed to the military administration, usually operating outside imperial territory from a base outside or inside imperial territory. The title was particularly attached to a government official acting as a political adviser to the ruler of one of the princely states in pre-independence South Asia, though it could also designate a kind of special envoy or ambassador (eg "Political Officer to Afghanistan").Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_officer_(British_Empi...

oficial político
De un fragmento de Wikipedia, que concierne a Sir. Francis Younghusband, explorador británico:
"En 1890 fue transferido temporalmente al Servicio Político Indio como oficial político. En 1890-1891, tras su incorporación a dicho departamento, estuvo nuevamente en el Pamir y, tras la anexión definitiva de Hunza por los británicos, fue nombrado oficial político de ese nuevo territorio de la India británica"
Y sobre Bala Sahib:
"Oficial político en Sikkim y Bután, con control sobre las misiones indias en el Tíbet (1955-1961)"
