1. India has encroached in the past and they will do so in the future. The past leaders have failed us and it is no different than present langoors.
2. If India decieved us with Koshi in 60s and chances are they will do again. Our leaders have not changed. In fact it has gotten worse.
3. Our past rulers have made mistakes and we continue to let them make MORE MISTAKES in the present.
4. It is stupid to repeat same mistakes. but we keep doing it again and again. it is getting worst but we let our leaders go Scotch free.
5. I learned the lesson. But many have not. That is why I say, right now is not the time to point someone else mistake when we are making bigger mistakes of same. Instead do our homework. Lets walk the talk rather than just talk the talk.
And most importantly,
1. We have to understand our position in the region in order to give a valid reason. We just cant open our mouth. We have to speak from our strength and position. Then people will respect for our opinion.
2 & 3. I dont have a submissive mentality nor I want to bash anyone. But you have to know about the other side. Bhutan has come a long way in short time and there are lots of things we can learn from them. I know I dont like them either. But there are few things we can learn from them.
4 & 5. Again we all and our leaders talk tough. When New Delhi stop the gasoline shipment in Birgunj or sunauli, our leaders will be in delhi flight the same evening. It is no different than what Bhutan is facing. We just face 10 times more and we dont talk about it as if it never happens.
Again I am not seeing any discussion about 700 km2 of our sovereign land. It is 700km2: bigger than singapore.
1. I remember my teacher telling me, "Unless you house is in order, you can never be strong outside." So lets not worry about the issues among India, Pakistan and China. Let them figure out when they want to nuke and screw each other . Bhutan can join the trio if they want. In the meantime, lets get our house in order. Then we can approach outside.
2. I have a problem with Rs 300 billion trade deficit. That means we cant create enough jobs for sojha nepali. Yes, 300 billion is more than $US 3 billion. It is hard earned foreign currency by nepali working in Middle East. Only reason then ended up in Arab is because our govt could not produce enough employment. May be you dont care of 1500 nepali boarding flights daily to find a job in Middle east.
If Bhutan has trade surplus with India while producing only 2 gig of electricity, wait until they produce 12 gig by 2020. Instead of trade deficit like we have, they will probably have 5 times more trade surplus. Do the math.
Lets not compare our issues between USA and China or USA and India. They are big and have means and backup to take such a punch like big trade deficit. We dont have one. Again I remember somebody telling me, "ghati heri haddi nilnu."
You asked me if Bhutan is a better place than USA and India. May be not the best. But if expression of my friend who went to Bhutan is any indication, may be there is something we can learn.
We are not inferior person. But we dont want to look like one if we dont know what we are talking about. Trade deficit and less electricity speaks a lot about our ability as a nation and a people. I hate the world to tell us that our nation is one of poorest.
Finally, I am taking my stand by being mindful. Lets be mindful about what we say about others. If we wanna say something, lets say positive things. Say good things about them and soon they will be our friends. Anger will never solve our problems. Speak well with respect for others and they will respect you. Soon you will make your enemy as a friend. So lets be mindful.
Lets make friends among us by learning and sharing among each other. lets be mindful about things we say and do. You will be a happier person. One sajha member at a time.
