hi upeanbhupen, Nepal, in order to get economic aids from china and to stop starving those tens of thousands of poor Nepalese, cracked down the tibetan protest which took in the recent year. So, now, you talk about improving Bhutan's human right status. Bhutan has never violated human rights inside Bhutan; i don't want to mention aboout human rights violation about those refugees because i including many Bhutanese "reasonably believe" that you guys are not Bhutanese citizens.
The constitution of Bhutan grants freedom of speech and freedom of press to all its entitled citizens. People wear Bhutanese dress because that is the official dress of Bhutan. On other occasions, people choose to wear pants and shirts, which is acceptable and which is granted by the constitution. People, represented that national assembly members, draft and amends the constitution. The fact that everyone is equal, we give equal jurisdiction of freedom to every regions.
hey Upeanbhupen! You being a refugee, is talking on behalf of all those illegal refugees. Frankly speaking, no one in Bhutan acknowledges or recognizes you guys as Bhutanese, we consider them as either nepalese or terrorists. what makes you comment about reform when you have nothing to do with this topic. we do what is right and do it our own way. We give our deaf ears to those guys who gives superficial advicses like you. Nepal is so envious and jealous of bhutan's achievements.
People in Nepal in in general are very hopeless and desperate and as a result ready to cheat foreigners in Bhutan. People like Upeanbhupean who come from there should concentrate on trying to change the situation there instead of commenting on Bhutan. Personally If I were of Nepali heritage, I'd be so ashamed of myself, there's no way I would try to give a lecture on freedom and rights.
Just returned from bhutan and Nepal an I have to say that Bhutan did a great job by kicking out all those illegal migrants from Nepal. People who are legal and of Nepali descent still live and propsper in Bhutan. It's funny to hear people like this poster upeanbhupen who are from Nepal lecture about rights and democracy, because their own country Nepal doesn't seem have the will to provide their people with the basic necessities like electricity, drinking water and sanitation.
Untill their is fudal monarchy in Bhutan, it is is imposible to to make a reforms in Bhutan, Reform here doesnot mean to distroy the culture and tradition, reforms here means , socioeconomic, educational , Human right improvements and protect the state from India invasion.
I ofcourse respect bhutan and people there, But freedom of expression , human right and equalities amonge own citizen is also needed besides peace. Otherwise sooner or latter it wont give out a good reasult. Thank you om mannni pembe om!!
You must be aware that , many of people from Bhutan are forced out from their country as refugees, and who now living in bhutan are also suffred frim police and government.. when these refuges get no solution , they turn in to bloody voilent group . and this may harm peace Bhutan..and bhutesnese goverment will be responsible for that
You could argue, Nepali are not indigenous people of Bhutan, ? and i have a question from which date you will draw line of demarcation of indigenious people? Now in Bhutan , nepalies communities are not aloud to wear their dress ,and use their langauge freely,. and i completely disagree with your statement on mulyparties system in Bhutan
Hay , transplant, i respect your view and agree that Bhutan has preserved culture, and should do also. What i mean is ,what is the value of peace, if people with in their country can not express their feelings and Human right? Thsi time i am focuing on Neplai inhabitants there.
