Oh .. Kuensel (on GNH) again

Another Kuensel editorial with more  half-baked interpretations.

Kuensel seems to espouse that we should make our rural people believe that there is nothing beyond the village to aspire for. Incredulous!!

Everybody knows that many national and global issues like system of governance, infrastructure, globalisation and climate change impact their lives. They have the right to know about the benefits of education, health care, transportation and communication. They also equally have the right to know about the dangers that economic development can bring to social cohesion, environment and our culture.

What they do, afterwards, is their choice- which is the essence of  GNH. Cheating fooling our rural people is definitely not the way to happiness.

The CBS and the Government seriously need to inform a few people at home rather than looking to inspire the world.

GNH dissected wrongly and Di (another blogger) makes some excellent points on this in her comments to the post.
