RTC Happenings
"What is Democracy? Democracy is not just about voting. Democracy is about knowing who will make a better leader, a better government and it’s about exercising your rights as a responsible citizen' said Dr. Karma Phuntsho during the one of the Guest Series held on October 23, 2013.
Dr. Karma’s Phuntsho also talked about his perspectives on the religious personalities not having given the right to vote. He emphasized on the country’s history and how the country was founded by religious leaders like Zhabdrung in the past. Being a Buddhist country, monks and religious persons are consulted every time someone starts a business or to ward off evil spirits or when making a decision but these religious people are excluded when the country is making its biggest decision. He said that this could be a perhaps the most controversial clause in the country’s electoral law.
Overall, it was an interesting and interactive talk and we hope to continue hosting talks like these in the future.
