The US is starting Bhutan refugees resettlement process. This will give them good opportunities for their life when Nepal government has neither been able to privide them with Nepali citizenship nor been able to repatriate them. Nepal government changed its colors too many times about the possibility to offer them Nepali citizenship. The once foreign minister of Nepal, Pashupati S JBR Rana declares they are not the responisbility of Nepal. Girija, KP Oli are against any kind of foreign settlement of the refugees. Whatsoever, all methods except respectful repatriation, are nothing but betrayal of hope and dignity of Bhutanese refugees of Nepali origin. The intention of US Embassy might be genuinely good but it doesn't help the cause. Yes, it will definitely make their lives better and noone has the right to bulldoze anything on the free will of the refugees. If they chose to be resettled in US, its their free will, which everyone needs to respect. Pursuit of happiness and human rights, perhaps. But in a broader sense, it will hurt the democratic movement in Bhutan. Some people are too happy applauding Moriarty's step and hopes this will help accelerate the democracy movement in Bhutan. What a shallow analysis. The Bhutanese refugees are mostly from Pahadi origin. It will be nothing short of Nepali ethnic cleansing from Bhutan. Few people might end up demonstrating against Jingme on the alleys of New York. But it won't deter his ass. Not at least until Bhutan comes under the security umbrella of India. The true salvation of Nepali ethnics in Bhutan will not come from any alleys of New York and London. Tek Nath Rizal and Girija cannot be dismissed with cynical air for their opinion against foreign settlement. They know the repurcussions pretty well. Ailing Rizal knows pretty well that this movement will be shattered by scattered Nepali Bhutanese people all around US. There is a reason why India never supported this cause. It knows pretty well that as soon as Nepali ethnics gain momentum and power in Bhutan, it will be a threat to its security unbrella that India still wants to spead in Nepal. The democratic institutionalization that Jigme speaks of now is taking place with Nepali ethnics exlusion as a pre-emption. India, the so called largest democracy is fine with that. The moment a true, inclusive and vibrant democracy breaks loose in Bhutan, India will be the one that will lose the most. The winds of change will sweep Burma too. The ethinic Nepali people spread all around North East India will raise a new platform for freedom movement. This will fuel the concept of "Greater Nepal". That's what India fears. And thats what the agents of India fear. With all said. I respect the free will of the refugees.
