June 2005In a world where despots cling to power by any means, Bhutan's much loved King is voluntarily relinquishing control. It's part of a plan to engage with the wider world. This tiny mountain kingdom is one of the least undisturbed places on earth. Here, emphasis is placed on 'Gross National Happiness', and schools teach children to live in harmony. "We are an independent kingdom with a very strong policy that preserves our environment," explains author Tshewang Dhendup. The king is widely revered across the country. "He's a very humble man," explains one friend. "No Swiss bank accounts, no Lear jets. Lives in a log cabin." His subjects are still coming to terms with his decision to share power. In recent years, Bhutan has started reaching beyond the mountains. But nothing is allowed to endanger its unique culture

So the place isnt overrun by tourists. Too many and itll be hard to protect the traditions and the environment. Throngs of backpackers and the like wouldntbe a good thing.

And we the citizen of the great motherland shall be happy and blessed to liberate our fellow Bhutanese brothers and sister from the shackle of evil jacks(Indian and Nepalis). The great grassland of our Han and Mongol ancestors shall await you arrival. May the soul of our great mongol ancestor bless the Bhutanese during their journey.

Bhutanese people should join the great motherland before you are forced out of Bhutan by the Nepali immigrants like what they did in Sikkim and become another forgotten Indian State. The Nepali immigration to Bhutan started in early 1950s and now they are already claiming to make up 40 percent of the total population and within 10 more years, you guys will be a minority in your country and you democracy won't mean shit when you are under the nepalis

It's good to see that they still practice their traditions despite the modernity.In some points it's really good to combine tradtitions and modernity but in some other points it's already too much.

i am not against western lifestyle.myself have that lifestyle n live in western country.butan seems to be very exotic country one day i will visit to.too many boys becoming monks is showing buddism is how strong in that kingdom.back 1920-30 we had many monks but our religion was destroyed by russians n only being rebuild again since 1991 so mongolians are not so keen buddists. maybe in terms of me.interesting country butan.
