Description
APOLOGY – WORDS
After more than two decades of our woeful exodus from Bhutan when majority of fellow refugees are leaving refugee camps of Nepal to resettle in third countries, we are able to publish this book in response to some publications and statements issued against the Bhutanese citizens who were ruthlessly evicted from Bhutan and for the benefit of the Bhutan observers the readers to help understand about Bhutan and Bhutan crisis.
This book is not designed at defaming of our beloved country Bhutan and The Kings of Bhutan. The Bhutanese Royal Family or the Wangchuck Kings are held in high esteem by the naive refugees, even being away from Bhutan for over two decades in refugee camps and elsewhere. The refugees till recent times celebrated King Jigme Singye Wangchuck’s birthday on 11 November every year and the National Day of Bhutan on 17 December in exile. The innocent refugees then, pray for His Majesty’s Long Life and his continuation in the throne as a kind leader of our motherland Bhutan with hopes His Majesty will restore their life in their homes in Bhutan and heal their wounds. However, an attempt has been made to reflect a true picture of Bhutan and the policies of the Royal Government which signaled “a green light” for majority of Lhotshampas and some Eastern-Bhutanese, Sharchops to exit who also opposed the Government’s prejudiced policies.
This book is not written for claiming our absolute rights in Bhutan but it is worded in a way so as to make the King aware that his policies “aimed for better Bhutan” are implemented in a changed version by his all-powerful bureaucrats. King Jigme Singye Wangchuck father of the Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck is claimed to be a simple person as he lives in Samtelling Palace in Thimphu. But surprisingly the present King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck was born in 1980 in Nepal before his marriage. He is very austere by nature and his simplicity is personified beyond doubt as written by some of the western writers and Indian diplomats.
The blame is primarily focused at the system and to those who are out to oust the Lhotshampas from the South, irrespective of their aboriginal qualification of Bhutanese nationality. In the name of the King’s doing, the privileged bureaucrats are selling Bhutan piece by piece and its cultural heritage outside so as to defame the Monarchy and tarnish the image of the nation at the end.
By authoring this book, we are not trying to sell the history of Bhutan nor aiming at betraying the revered country. Bhutan must remain Bhutan in complete social harmony, irrespective of ethnic differences. As citizens, we appeal the King of Bhutan that “we require 6 feet X 2 feet land in our country so that our mortal remains would manure Bhutan for all round socioeconomic happiness for our coming generation”.
