The commenter so called "Krishna Adhikari" is a fake name with fake picture. I came to know that he is an agent of Jigme Singye Wangchuck here at Thimphu.

Please dislike his comment and flag him. He is polluting the value of GNH and philosophy of lord Buddha. This kind of people sure will degrade the real meaning of Bhutanese. Please flag him.

To create this "Shangri-La", they had to kick out ethnic minorities. Look up the Lhotshampa.

The brutal and inhuman king and his pheriphal well wisher Government introduced the gross national happiness to King and his followers. This GNH is not for Bhutanese peoples.Over one hundred thousands Bhutanese Citizens have been living in exiled after they confiscated Our land and Propeeties and expelled after forcefully suppressed to sign the Voluntary Fmigration Form.This act of your brutality will be remembered.You made me stateless Refugee.learn lessons from your southern bhuranese.

Many loshampas (bhutanese with nepalese ethincity) were killed and raped in 1990 because they want their cultural freedom. About one lakh bhutanese became refugee after that and still there are many bhutanese living in refugee camp of nepal with a hope of going back to their own home bhutan........what kind of happiness is this?

[kale vanus]

What the fuck is this... not all bhutanese are happy. Look at bhutanese refugees still in refugee camp with low quality of life.

I suppose if the government aren't being paid to make people slaves of the corporations, then the people won't be so brainwashed to think greed is the only way to be. I'm just scared they might get celeb magazines that try to brainwash gullible girls into admiring the talentless orange trash that fill the pages.
