We need to expand our imaginations about heritage. Mustang is one of the most well preserved sites to understand the dawn of human settlement in the Himalaya. But it's in trouble. 1/n
China may be ready to open 14 corridors but Nepal isn't ready to open even Korala, where its officials are stationed in containers gifted by China.

I have great respect for Richard Dawkins. His work is still-best-available explanation of evolution of life. However, being vocal atheist myself, I always found his zealous evangelical atheism wrong. Seem like that religion of bigotry comes with age and might consume anyone.

Always great to be back in Kagbeni, but the town has changed. 2023's Dzong Khola flood transformed its topography. The mudslide swept away everything in its path, incl. homes, bridges, vehicles, depositing silt several hundred mtrs up-river of its confluence with Kali Gandaki.
This article says Gelephu Mindfulnes City project can't fail becuase it is His Majesty idea. Bhutanese beware, this project can fail for many reason even HM can't affect. Such close associon of monarchy with that might cause the damage to the institution you cherish.

Smart. By giving India more importance that it really has, Ukraine might get India on its side by exploiting country rulers soft spot - the vanity.

Nicely surprised seeing Agent Of Happiness, Bhutanese/Hungarian mockumentary smartly ridiculing GNH and exposing some well known yet unaddressed ills of Bhutanese society. Also gently depicting Lhotshampa community and its plights. Well done!
Big loss. His book Thinking, fast and slow truly changed how I think and do things.

Reminds me when I get travel inquiry from Indian tourist. It is invariably vague and brief, but expectation is to get detailed itinerary and "best" breakdown cost immediately. Then is annoyed when I clarify series of questions and in the end don't like the result anyway. 🤷

🚨 New episode 🚨 The Buddha & The Golden Road India was the forgotten heart of the ancient world. For a millennium and a half, from about 250 BC to 1200 AD, India was a confident exporter of its diverse civilisation, creating around it a vast empire of ideas, an ‘Indosphere’.
Nepali men stuck in #Russia appeal to the Indian government to rescue them, as their plea to Nepalese government has gone in vain. They were scammed by travel agents who sent them to Russia on the pretext of a helper job with Russian Army. @MEAIndia @IndiaInNepal @PM_nepal_
Listen @EmpirePodUK as William and @tweeter_anita discuss Buddhism’s transformation from a regional religion to one that spans nations, as Ashoka sends his 'dharma ministers' to Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, China, Alexandria and as far West as Cyrene- modern Libya.…
1. China is almost certainly preparing for a large war 2. There may be no war, eventually. It is not impossible that the leadership may lack the guts to start it. Or it may be swept by an internal crisis, before it can even attack 3. But China is preparing *and preparing well*

Call me an idealist but to me the most pressing problem in Nepali politics is the lack of a moral centre. Nothing is forbidden in the pursuit of power. What matters isn't ideology but greed & hunger. Our fiscal corruption is nothing compared w/ our moral corruption.

Mustang is an extraordinary archaeological site. What we've learnt is only the beginning. Our negligence will result in great remorse, like in Khingar, where the realisation of what treasures they held came too late.
This 🧵 on Mustang, heritage, history and... , as always, negligence.
We need to expand our imaginations about heritage. Mustang is one of the most well preserved sites to understand the dawn of human settlement in the Himalaya. But it's in trouble. 1/n
So what other options did Israel have after October 7th? There are many possible answers, which were clear from the beginning. You may disagree with some or all of this, but six months later, and after all of the most recent disasters, I believe even more strongly that this was…
@MichalThoma @GuyAirline @amish973 Totally. A transparent accounting on past funds received should be made public immediately. This should be demanded by local MPs & provincial government.

@ziahaiderrahman Are we surprised? Such Western agnostics & atheists were comfortable w/ their ‘beliefs’ cocooned in their ‘liberal’ Xian world. But threatened by increasing #s of other dharmas leaves them frightened. High caste Hindu Nepal society is terrified by 5% of growing Xian converts. 🤷🏼♀️
@MichalThoma His work as an evolutionary biologist and his prolific writings is not the issue (I have bought almost all the books he has written). I also have no problem with him being the conveniently invented "cultural Christian". The problem is with his dishonest hypocrisy on religion.
@that_chilip @MichalThoma you're forgetting the hindutva hyper nationalists who are already in a permanent state of apoplexy over the fact that Bhutan and Nepal are still independent.
Unless we steer our course, Tibetans will be extinct in the next 50 yrs just like we lament to the grief of those Native Americans at the museums. At this critical juncture of our history, enough of spiritual awakening, what Tibetans need is a huge political awakening.

@MichalThoma @AchuKhegpa Economics was removed from the syllabus for class 9/10 and pupils given the choice to take computer studies. Economics should be taught from the Lower classes. Ask anyone from the street the difference between fiscal and monetary and you will have a picture of where we are.
@MichalThoma @sandeeps13 yup, you are right on point. Bhutan has been so unfortunately to have started of its democratic journey with a bunch of really self-centered, narcissistic and myopic politicians. We had such a great opportunity to have a fresh and positive start.
