Eyes wide shut cannot see that the Druk are playing the politics of ethnicity. They are the ones who feel threatened by the vibrant political and economic growth of the ethnic Nepalis. The Druk regime has meticulously arranged the legislations which tries to estbalish their own ethnic identity eliminating "Lhotsampas". One cannot really predict whether the federal system will work in Bhutan, so lets push that aside for a while. But yes, forging alliance with the pro-monarchs for aggregate national benefit can be acceptable but it cannot be done with a compromise to Nepali ethinic identity. In the name of "integration", those ethnics cannot be bulldozed with the state legislations and acts that underestimate their cultural identity and heritage. So, I guess we again disagree on who is underestimating whom. Contrary to your belief, one can see that the movement failed because it lacked "pure passion, ideals, and a sense of righteousness". One cannot draw a clear roadmap without these for the future. Perhaps, this can be attributed to the failures of Rizal and his likes. The hypocrisy and double standard of the Drukpa regime is quite transparent when it talks about democracy but continuously try to evade from solutions regarding the refugees. Heck, they don't even accept them to be their citizens. What kind of democratic instituion is in the offing, one can easily decipher. Yes, now the refugees have "options". And unfortunately, options are now open to the Druk regime as well to "deport" more dissidents, arrest and intimidate more ethnics, incorporate more ethnic cleansing,further institutionalize "One Nation One People",and then lay the carpet for "democracy". Welcome to the Brave New World.
