Geo-Political History

The draft constitution provides the legal framework for a democratic political system. It has been stated in the First Article itself that the boundary of Bhutan is inviolable, an obvious rebuff to the Chinese. Incidentally, the Chinese soldiers marched into the Bhutanese territory on November 2005 on dubious pretext, and since then, have been building roads in those areas totally ignoring the Official Bhutanese protests. Increasing military garrison in the region can be read as another Chinese endeavour to do another ‘Tibet’ in the region. Unlike the power hungry counterparts in neighbouring Nepal, the monarchy here has been officially labeled as the ‘friend of the people’, meant to satisfy the genuine aspirations of people. These steady transitions, minus the usual ‘revolution’, has almost been an unheard thing in modern geo-political history. The world, indeed, needs to learn, even if from the tiny-tots in the international arena.
