BHUTAN, the land of thunderbolt is now the youngest democracy in the world.
Democracy -- as well as state-of-the-art Internet and cell phone service/etc -- are arriving more or less simultaneously this week to the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. Just wish that it would be a positive step for the nation who cherish and measure success by their GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS. and the man who invented the term and also ushered in democracy is their king, Jigme wangchuk.
in this same world filled with examples of people who are obsessed with power and mostly misutilise it , however also has a king who is nothing short of a great visionary and nothing short of a demi-god.
Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck (born February 21, 1980) is the fifth Dragon King of Bhutan and head of the Wangchuck dynastyHe is the world's youngest head of state.
hISTORY WILL have to invent words to describe his greatness, intellect and his love for his people.
Though theoretically he will cease to be the king of Bhutan, inhabited by one of the world's simplest people..... he truly will be remembered as the king of Democracy.
