Well, monarch are not just who they are, they are also what they represent. However, I agree the current DL likely never had the chance, but I don't support that he should be granted the chance. I suspect he will reform even as an adult, had he remained a monarch. All in all, he carries the lineage then he bears and sins and glories associated with it alike.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoI feel that we all people educated in the West might not be able to fully understand the mentality of the whole society at question and the difficulty of the reform from the top. The efforts of the Bhutanese king are a good example. "Yes, we will become a democracy but only to fulfill your will, Your Majesty", "Yes, we will go to vote but only to make you happy, YM". They really think their king is excellent (I'm not saying he's not) and that whoever will be chosen will be inferior (we don't know, but we can't rule it out). Someone changing the very fabric of the society will always meet with an enormous amount of opposition, and will often fail.
