So anyways about the last few tweets. Most of you know that Bhutan commited genocide against its Nepali population. You should also know that this is bc in Sikkim, Nepali revolutionaries overthrew the monarchy,
and because the Nepali were the demographic majority, they democratically dominated the sikkimese in their own homeland, a terrifying prospect, no? That the king of sikkim (who was an idiot) was a cousin of the 20yo newly coronated king of bhutan at the time didn't help.
Bhutan had similar nepali revolutionaries/terrorists who sought to integrate southern Bhutan into a Greater Nepal, beheading fellow Lhotsampa who didn't comply, and for the bhutanese monarchy, it seemed the best way to counter this was to force the Lhotsampa to assimilate
The cause of all this is of course nationalism, which was what led to the Nepali terrorists agitating to proclaim where they lived Nepalese and not Bhutanese/Sikkimese land and which resulted in an equal and opposite reaction by the Bhutanese monarchy. Don't do nationalism, kids
