- Опубликовано: 26 апр 2012
- Tshering Tobgay was a Bhutanese civil servant who worked to advance vocational training. He was the first civil servant to resign to take up active politics (he did so in Feb 2007). At that time His Majesty the King repeatedly called for people to take up politics and form political parties to prepare for the introduction of democracy.
Now Tshering is a Member of Parliament representing Sombaykha Constitutency in Haa. He is the Leader of the possibly the world's smallest Opposition Party in the National Assembly of Bhutan. Tshering is 46 years old, married with 2 children, enjoys the outdoors, trekking, running and biking.
He discusses what Gross National Happiness, and what makes him happy, as any red blooded Bhutanese would.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
This was a wonderful event to be a part of with the Expedition Bhutan and Bhutan International Marathon Team. The world is not a perfect place but recognition of a problem within humanity is a good first step. Several here criticized and ridiculed Bhutanese on this post and that;s ok. Freedom of speech. But I believe at least trying is better than criticizing. With respect to all who have written here.
Nice speech thank you Lyonpo Tshering Tobgay we are proud to be Bhutanese ,excellent speech thank you greeting from Kabul
Love my dasho Tshering tobgay ....for more clean speak ..!!

Happiness is nice to talk when nobody questions you ! I just checked the bhutanese news its human rights, refugee ,so much injustice to minorities by elites,royals..!!!

+chaurasta if u want to know why they were forced to leave bhutan then look at the comment of riggyl wangpo jus below. This happened many years back,a lot of things have changed since then. Anyways we are very happy in bhutan n it truly is a peaceful country n i am saying this cuz i have lived in other countries n i realy can see the large difference between bhutan n other countries.
chaurasta... nepali people were not forced to leave... they did't want to obey country's law and they left themselves burning government schools and even national dress... How is it possible so many nepali speaking people still Bhutanese if bhutan government chased all nepalis? Even if it was true, they were terrorist of our country. By the way my mother tongue is also nepali. I am still happy Bhutanese....
@@chaurasta Bhutan never went around claiming to be the happiest country on this earth, it just took an initiative which many big and developed and many people like us never even questioned or mind to mention.When a small country like Bhutan makes an effort , i think a person in right mind should rather learn to appreciate it. Bhutan has its own problem , its not all good and happy, and fairy tales.
Problems are inevitable and Bhutan is no exception, but at least the country is taking a step to address on happiness and making changes.
And things you read aren't all true, mean no harm but Bhutan compared to many countries have lower crime rates and many are satisfied and happy. I am a Bhutanese and i know my country.
PEACE.✌
Does your so-called GNH includes those 100 thousand citizens in exile as refugee?
This would not have been happen if there was no violence n if they didn't protest against the nation... People were happy before this happened n because of few groups of anti national many innocent lives have lost.
@@dorjiwangdi6050 only hope and ambition can give long term happiness this gnh is an illusion and an affront all hardworking people around the world.
@@jarrodyuki7081 in order to get hopes and ambition.. we need strong, loyel and supportive government otherwise it is impossible if the country is fully currupte. With due respect gnh is not an illusion. It is reality which is rare in other countries.
@@jarrodyuki7081 Greed is not a path to happiness. It poisons your soul and everything you touch.
Man who was against happiness when in opposition suddenly became champion when it served him

Interesting point about Happiness and different faiths, many people live a sad remorseful life or may not fit in society which becomes a recruitment for religion. You see this in western world Christianity with a sinner wretch like ideology. When Islam came (part of 3 Abrahamic faiths), there was a time of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ debate, early Islamic scholars may have followed that Jesus (Isa) was crucified (either way that does still not make him a God), but when they observed Christians living in pain, and sadness, the whole ideology of crucifixion was interpreted differently in Islam.
Well spoken, articulate able to get his point across. Now let's compare this to the sleepy old Bum that Nepal just picked to be their prime minister. Says a lot about where this countries are currently and what direction they're headed in.
bhutan needs to end its monarchy.
Good job..... Theory .... I would suggest to create a big chart with single word Refugee... And later we will be able to add or delete Bhutanese ... That's practical. We are good in saying.......
proof has wearing Dress is Tibet. Not bhutan Dress. All of Asia country on people No Wearing Tibet Dress. Tibet of China.
India military Guided bhutan. .india military Getout from bhutan yes or not. it is Territory area Not Right Nation Not Independent From india.
I feel Dasho Tshering has a good theory but needs a condensed package of practical in refugee camp....somewhere except in Jhapa.. For real GNP or further GWP... N noble prize.... We cheer up,,
Jagath Chhetri the people in japa are not bhutanese.They are nepalese and trying to be bhutanese Which is totally unacceptable by the law.They dont no anything abt Bhutan and just trying to be Bhutanese.Shame.
Pandora's box had already been opened so, how a human could be happy. Big lie...
Bhutan is very good carbon nutrias country ,people also very good awesome their speaking skills .Hats off all the people ,i will to see.
Bhutan is very good carbon nutrias country ,people also very good awesome .
Bhutan is very good carbon nutrias country ,people also very good awesome .
PM Tshering Tobgay, can you explain me and all about suicide rate in Bhutan ? Bhutan have one of the highest suicide rate in the world. How?.... How Bhutan can be happy expelling people from their own home ? Really, Tobgay? Are you really serious ?
+Nepalese American Bhutan expelled only the illegal immigrants who became Ngologpas........
Nepalese American we the Bhutanese want to drive away the anti national....even v vl kill those anti national if they dare to come back..... we don't want to those rotten people in my country.....
efficently kicked out ~20% of the entire population and stole their lands. "wE DriVE aWaY thE anTI natIoNals"
There are only few people who are really happy in Bhutan, rest are materialistic.
