New Maoist Group in Bhutan
2008-10-18 14:29:00 A pretty interesting new development in Bhutan - a new Maoist group has formed, with links to Maoists in Nepal and India. It's been growing in the refugee camps of Bhutanese refugees for some time now. They've been threatening to start a people's war in Bhutan for some time now. I think the real goal here is just that they want to go back to Bhutan.It has its roots in the expulsion of 100,000 Bhutanese of Nepali origin who have been living in Bhutan for over 100 years. They tend to live in the lowlands and resemble Indians. The people in the uplands tend to look more Asian.Bhutan has traditionally been a horribly backwards country with some of the worst health and social figures on Earth. The monarchy has instituted a campaign to improve education and health care in the nation and seems to have done a pretty good job of it.There was no reason except sheer racism for the expulsion of the Nepali-Bhutanese from Bhutan in the early 1990's. At that time, they made up a majority of th...

Prashant?s show not attractive
2008-05-28 12:19:00 Thimphu, May 28: The Indian Idol Prashan Tamang received low turn-over in this performance in Thimphu instead of heavy expectation on May 24. Absence of his co-performer Charu also left the show unsuccessful. The audiences were forced to wait for three hours. He performed popular songs such as Jab se tere naina from the film Saavariya and Bhegay hoot teri from Murder. Nepali and Hindi numbers had pulled viewers to dance floors. The organizers were forced to decrease the ticket prices from Nu 100 from Nu 300, 500 and 700 after which number of viewers increased to accompany Tamang until mid-night. The viewers were discouraged due to repeated cancellation of the concert, for which the organizers blame the authorities. Bhutan News Service
