Visited Bhutia a few yrs ago with The Bridge To Bhutan. The country was charming, loved every minute
60 Minutes has an article in CBS news about Lesley Stahl and it mentioned the Bhutan king imposed democracy on its citizens even though the people don't want it. Let me give you some background information. In 1975 India annexed Sikkim, a country very similar to Bhutan but is smaller. India worked for years to gobbled up Sikkim. Finally in 1975 it agitated a vote in Sikkim where people were given a choice to vote for democracy or to vote for monarchy. The people voted for democracy. India used it as a pretext to gobble up Sikkim. The Bhutan king imposed democracy on its people is a preemptive move to prevent India from doing something similar to Bhutan. It is better to lose power than to lose your country. This the story of Bhutan's democracy. The biggest concern of the Bhutanese is that their country is not gobbled up by India like what India did to Sikkim.
Bhutan was enchanting when I visited in 2019! I will always have fond memories❤
Damn I loved the idea of Dam. It comes really handy during the moonsoon season in Asia. Considering a high ratio of rainfall.
I love archery 🏹 Glad to hear that it's the national sports of Bhutan. Lots of love and prayer from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Beautiful Place 😍
Hello, My name is Mangala Sharma, I am a Bhutanese American. I was glad to see my Country of Birth highlighted by CBS -60 minutes last week. I watched with pride as well as sadness. Proud, I agree with everyone in the comment that it is a beautiful Country, but felt very sad because such prestigious media surprisingly did not mention about the history behind that currently empty land where the elephants were roaming. .Gelephu, the home of the Future Mindfulness City was the second most populated district in South Bhutan. We should know that 33 years ago, about 40,000 people including my family, were uprooted from that area, many of them were tortured in prisons, girls were raped, people's houses were burnt down and were forcefully evicted . Their land were taken by the Government of Bhutan. We lived in refugee camps in Nepal for over 20 years and now majority of us are resettled in the USA. I would like to request CBS 60s and other media to help us to tell our part of the story .
Many people around the globe are still unknown about the southern Bhutanese. We are forcefully compelled to left Bhutan by the Government of Bhutan. Although media doesn't cover up this things, but still we are the living witness.
Bad people live there
I have always been so intrigued by other people 's religious beliefs I love that these people hold on to things from generation after generation because they have such meaning to them…
