It is news of gladness that Tikaram sir found outlet from various forms of SUPPRESSION and OPPRESSION mechanisms at home and continued to serve the causes of planetary citizens. This honour on him greatly dishonours the oppressive rules back home that seek honour by discouraging and trampling the shining professionals as threat to the NATIONAL ORDER.
We lost so many able citizens due to oppressive mechanisms in place threatening to contain even the consciences in their control. It will be another news of great consolation to hear about another oppressed teacher Nandalal Dhungana missed by his students in the country.
Great work done by great people. Hope one day our government understand the importance and necessity of those Bhutanese in Western world.
Tika dai, congratulations. We are proud of you. Keep up your good work in the service of the community.
