	BHUTAN'S CRISIS OF IDENTITY: BY PROF. MICHAEL HUTT
		Bhutan was unified by the Shabdrung, a Buddhist lama of the Drukpa Kagyu sect who fled from Tibet in 1616.
		Bhutan is known to its inhabitants as Druk Yul, (the land of the Dragon), after the Buddhist Drukpa Kagyu sect that first united it.
		Some 19 languages are spoken throughout Bhutan, and three main ethnic groups - the Ngalong in the west, the Sharchhop in the east, and the Nepalis in the south-comprise perhaps 85 per cent of the total population.

	Bhutan's Constitution and Refugees
		Bhutan was admitted to the UN in 1971 without a Constitution.
		The Constitution thus, is intended to serve the interests of the rulers and not of the ruled.
		Bhutanese rulers must accept the fact that the primary requirement of Bhutanese nationhood is the consolidation and defence of a nation-state system, where all ethnic groups share the common ‘space’ and live in prosperity.

	Human Rights Council of Bhutan [HRCB]: Bhutannewsonline
		Bhutan earned its independence in 1907 with the inauguration of the hereditary monarchy under the lineage of the Wangchuck dynasty instituted by the British, sidelining the reigning theocratic monarch, Shabdrung or Dharma Raja.
		I believe that the government of Bhutan will give a serious consideration to the proposal of the National Reconciliation by creating a conducive environment to enable the refugees to return to their homesteads with dignity and honour; and also making necessary arrangements for suitable compensations for the loss of lives and properties.
		The categorisation of refugees by Nepal and Bhutan and the ongoing resettlement in southern Bhutan with people from other parts of the country on the lands belonging to Bhutanese in exile are the main factors behind the formation of the Council, the statement said.

	The antediluvian patriarchs and the Sumerian King List
		It is suggested that the Sumerian scribe that composed the original antediluvian list had available a document (possibly a clay tablet) containing numerical information on the ages of eight of the patriarchs similar to that of the Genesis record and that he mistakenly interpreted it as being written in the sexagesimal system.
		The Sumerian list assigns an average reign duration of 30,150 years, with a total duration for the period of 241,200 years, compared to an average age of the biblical patriarchs of 858 years and a sum of 8575 years for their full lives.
		List of the duration of the Antediluvian Sumerian reigns.

	Gross National Happiness (Part Two)
		The "price" is that Bhutan's rulers have reservations about western style democracy, paternalism is strong and freedom is subordinated to regulations that "promote social harmony, stability, unity and contribute to the maintenance of a just and compassionate society." Everyone must dress alike and tourism into the country is tightly controlled.
		While the orientation to happiness is admirable, remarkable and loaded with possibilities highly appealing to wellness seekers, Bhutan remains a bit too controlled to appeal to those of us given to life, liberty AND the pursuit of happiness.
		Bhutan has made significant strides in political progress, but the rulers prefer to bring things along at a deliberate pace.
