Bhutan govt. have not given justice to the southern and eastern Bhutanese in terms of equal rights. You cannot have 130000 illegal immigrant in a country where a population is just over 700,000. I am from Bhutan and my great grand father was born in Bhutan and I am a citizen of Bhutan by birth as you and as everyone else. We will definetely be back to our home land some day and with the change we believe from the autocratic regime of Bhutan. Mr. Drukstylz,

Its really been a blemish on Bhutan's otherwise outstanding record. Although I think the situation was magnified by the sheer incompetence of UNHCR in verifying who were authentic refugees and who were people looking for hand outs.
