Tibetan Oppression of Bhutan Options

[devils666]

Until the early 17th century, Bhutan existed as a patchwork of minor warring fiefdoms, when the area was unified by the Tibetan lama and military leader Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal who had fled religious persecution in Tibet. To defend the country against intermittent Tibetan forays, Namgyal built a network of impregnable dzong (fortresses), and promulgated the Tsa Yig, a code of law that helped to bring local lords under centralized control. Many such dzong still exist and are active centers of religion and district administration. Portuguese Jesuits Estêvão Cacella and João Cabral were the first recorded Europeans to visit Bhutan, on their way to Tibet. They met Ngawang Namgyal, presented him with firearms, gunpowder and a telescope, and offered him their services in the war against Tibet, but the Shabdrung declined the offer. After a stay of nearly eight months Cacella wrote a long letter from the Chagri Monastery reporting on his travels. This is a rare extant report of the Shabdrung.[28][29] After Ngawang Namgyal's death in 1651, his passing was kept secret for 54 years; after a period of consolidation, Bhutan lapsed into internal conflict. In the year 1711 Bhutan went to war against the Mughal Empire and its Subedars, who restored Koch Bihar in the south. During the chaos that followed, the Tibetans unsuccessfully attacked Bhutan in 1714.[30]

I'd like to hear from the Dalai Lama cult about how Tibet was such a "peaceful, non-violent" Utopia before the "evil commies". Apparantly, Tibet was a military empire - they even attacked China in the 1400's and colonized it. All those Tibetan Independence losers who claim that Tibet being a "religiously oppressive regime under the Lama" is commie propaganda need to learn history. Bhutan is a country which contradicts the Dalai Lama being a "non-political, non-military" spiritual saint.

Tibetans also hate Muslims because they think Muslims are rude and take away their economic advantages. For example, during the 2008 riots, many Muslim-owned stores/restuarants were trashed by Tibetans because Muslims are just better at doing business.

I thought that the Tibetans trashed non-Tibetan Businesses in general which generally meant Han business. Is there a report that the Tibetans targeted Muslim business in particular? Please let me have the URL.

It seems Muslims people want to revenge to the Tibetan people, as usual.

Dangerous people.
