Bhutan must learn many lessons from other Nations

Dear sir,

Reference to the letter by Pelsang Dolma on topic 'Bhutan need no lesson from Nepal'. I was very surprise to read this letter at first. Secondly there are many reasons but I would like to mention here only one to make miss Pelsang Dolma understand what ware the root causes of problems, in this regards I would like to say 'Bhutan must learn many lessons from other Nations' in all the aspects.

You may be thinking that Bhutan is the land of one people, one culture & one Nation. But I would like to say Bhutan is not the country of one ethnics group. It has different people from different ethnics group but they all are Bhutanese. Think of north, south & eastern Bhutanese. Do they have same culture & tradition? So when one group tries to erase the culture & tradition of other groups as a result we got the problems of refugee. For e.g.; I would like to request persons like Miss: Palsang Dolma to think for one minute only to be citizen from south from that community.

How can you say the people living in camps are not refugee? You have used the word 'traitors' for refugees in this letter. I want to take flash back of 19190's situation in south what Royal Army did. In which I am also one of those victim. We were not willing to move from our place but Royal Army treated us barbacally and force us to fill the forms and told us to leave country with out any ginuine reason. We ware helpless in front of Royal Army. Think it who were the "traitors". Of course 'Bhutan' is not open to the outside world in any sense, but 'Bhutan' must feel proud to have people from different ethnics group which directly or indirectly make the country richer in every sense.country like Bhutan must have broad political views which can accommodate the people of all community and live happly respecting each other to make the nation more prosperous then ever...... We must follow the saying of 'unity in diversity', which has been proved worthy in many countries at the time of needs.
