namaste, are any of you familiar with the term โLhotshampaโ? or more widely known as โBhutanese refugeeโ? if so, what kind of experiences have you had with them? or what kind of generalizations have you heard about them? iโm quite curious
Hi, I am a teacher in the U.S. and I have some Nepali students. One student has a father from Bhutan. I suspect he was a refugee from the Lhotshampa expulsion. Does this group call themselves Lhotshampa or another name? I want to be respectful.
She also says she wants to visit Bhutan someday. Would it be appropriate to give her a book with photos of Bhutan? Or do you think the book would only show people in it who are not Lhotshampa and make her family feel bad?
Sorry if these questions are weird.
Any Bhutanese refugees who have been resettled in 3rd countries like United States, Canada, Norway, Denmark etc. What is your most memorable thing about living in refugee camps and after being resettled in 3rd country, how is your life? need your help !!
Since the 1980s, the Ethnic Nepali's of Bhutan have been systematically expelled from the country in what many have deemed to be an ethnic cleansing of the nation. Thirty-five percent of the people in Bhutan, or the entire Nepali population, was coerced to leave the country, leaving many in refugee camps. Whilst many have been settled in other nations such as the United States, Canada, etc., approximately 108 thousand of these people are still in Nepalese refugee camps or working in India. With the ascension of a new monarch to the throne, India would like to offer Bhutan an opportunity to right past wrongs.
India would be willing to fund the resettlement of those would willingly take up the offer to be resettled should they have proof of living in Bhutan at some point in their lives. We expect that only a fraction would take up the offer, but in this way the scar on Bhutan's image will be removed with no cost to you, as India would be funding the resettlement.
The government looks forward to King Wangchuck's response. As he has yet to take a formal stance on the matter, this is a prime opportunity to improve the relations between all parties.
Hi there, I am currently investigating refugees for my Master level course in Documentary Animation. I'm looking for a person that has been displaced and forced to move outside Bhutan from being ethnically linked to Lhotshampas. If anyone knows of these individuals, I would be eternally grateful. Many thanks, Avi
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But thatโs comparing apples to oranges
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
BamBOO!
Theyโre on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
