While, certainly not all those who claim to be the refugees might be actually one, the poor human rights record[1] of Bhutan speaks for itself. For a nation that issues citizenship based on race and origin [2] and "categorizes" them, a lot of economic development (and the self claimed Gross National Happiness) might be just a good publicity move by the Druk regime.

- kinleyd 11y agoFor a nation that issues citizenship based on race and origin [2] That's quite a leap you make there. Where exactly in the referenced article does it say that citizenship is based on race and origin? and "categorizes" them I do agree the categories are clumsy at best but how else is it possible to describe aggregated information without some form of categorization?
