We visit this country 5 time a year if not more. BHUTAN is happy and it needs to protect it's national identity and culture hence the harsh approach (westerners think). Take for example Tibet - we all know what happened! And Bhutan didn't want to be the next in process by you know whose investments. Let there be peace and Bhutan is the hidden Shangri-la, so let it be. Gradually and eventually the government and the people will climb the ladder towards prosperity lets not push them into a future without nationality and culture. Only having money is stupid. Ask any Buddhist monk. And for the rest of you still wanting to create a scene, visit the country once and then decide for yourself.

Mr. Host, bhutanese does not base thier standard of being happy depending on what make others do. Your lifestyle may not make them happy and vice versa. If you mean that bhutanese should have all the category of being happy based on other countries then thats not the way bhutanese measure hapiness. Many people in asia is happy in thier own way even with limited resources. Its thier values , family and society that makes them happy. We have different taste and definition of happiness. Thats why bhutanese are happy in thier own way of defining happiness.

Please leave us alone we are poor! We don’t have any sense of what being happy is all about! Happiness to you right now is trying to act like “Simon”!! Good luck with that!!
Poorly researched video. Lots of information in this video are not correct! And you have just informed one sided story. Hear what people in Bhutan have to say about the Nepalese minorities. Their leader created disruption and manipulated innocent people leading to uprising. It wasn’t ethnic cleaning in first place. They killed lots of innocent people before leaving for Nepal, mostly their own. If that was ethnic cleansing how come many Lhotshampa are ministers, NC, and lots of them hold key positions in government job? Those who did not flee are leading a comfortable life in Bhutan. And regarding peace & democracy, I know where you got the information...it’s from stuffs written by those minorities who have been constantly writing bad things about Bhutan and they’re not even true.
It is clear the on-air star and the staff of VisualPolitik have not personally visited the country. My wish is you would visit a country, meet the people, and experience their version of this human experience before making definitive statements about them.
Bhutan did by the right when they expelled Nepalese.I mean I am from northeast india and I can see the drastic population growth of these people.They initially were used as cow herders or cattle farmers by the British and now they are a sizable minority.Bhutan did what they thought was to preserve their identity.If you look at sikkim from our perspective you will know why. Sikkimese people are now a minority in their own former kingdom, now I dnt even knw if they are there.even the state language is Nepalese with full majority nepalese in Gov :,-( .Being a monarchy or a dictatorship doesnot help any countries but the monarchy in Bhutan is why they are not already annexed by either China or Nepal.Note that Nepalese monarchy didn't fair well and the subsequent consequences Nepal had to face was cruel.You should check historical facts and the inter territorial movement of people that happened during British Raj in the subcontinent then maybe you will see it in a different light.Anyways good work.
Then why didnt to settle those rufugees and fprced to enter nepal? U r best friend of bhutan na huh? Bhutan problwm is ur problem too. Why u set open border to nepal then? Nepal dont have responsibility towards them.
@@nishk6617 Bhutan is merely a puppet of India. India controls everything of Bhutan. This does not reflect Sovereignty of Bhutan. India is Hypocrite country and the most liar among all the nations. They annexed Sikkim. India let all Bhutanese of Nepali Origin to enter Nepal, but did not let them go back to Bhutan. They stopped them right away at the Nepal-India border. The Nepali population in Bhutan accounts for more than 60%, It expelled more than 10% of entire country population. Comparing with India, it could be situation if India had expelled all Muslim population or, Bangladesh expelling all Hindu population.
Maybe i am wrong.Maybe I am right.Who is to decide that?.Perhaps teaching people to understand the context of my comments on videos must be my future calling.I hope not.
@@kathmandu121 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutanese_refugees Read this in detail.Your western masters are doing far worse now throwing h1b from their countries while asking them to leave their children.

1.3 billion on the south side country of bhutan knows about bhutan and 1.4 billion people on the north side country of bhutan knows about bhutan.....so my question is how can you even consider that very few people knows about bhutan😤😤😤😤
With free education and free health care what else we need for free? Free meals and hostels at boarding schools, land for landless people are given for agriculture from His Majesty. It's up to people work hard or not and be happy. So the ranking you are talking about does not matter to any citizen of Bhutan. We are happy with what we have. Cheers.
if you interview North Korean, they must tell you NK is the most powerful country in this world; same logic, Bhutan must be the happiest country in the world, oh, btw, may be you can ask Lhotsampa in Bhutan, they will tell you their love the immortal King of Bhutan and Bhutan culture.
First video with bad research and blind western eyesight. Comparison with any western index is just not applicable to Bhutan. They have very rich and unique culture and lifestyle.
Bhutan follows concept of happiness in humbleness. You need to visit to know them. It is definitely one of the happiest country. people are not rich but follow the concept of simplicity and family bonds. Please visit and see by yourself.
its true that "all that glitters is not gold". but still, Bhutan is amazing. The current pandemic has taught us development is not what we used to think. Bhutan is the only carbon negative country in the world and its their constitutional obligation to remain carbon neutral. only for this reason, i can love Bhutan! One political issue: Bangladesh is eager to buy electricity from bhutan. But the problem is these two countries dont share border. Only 20-30 km land of india separates these two. And india is reluctant to allow construction of infrastructure to transmit electricity from Bhutan to Bangladesh.
You don't need money to be happy.. Your ancestors didn't need 4Bhk house to be happy they were happy sitting in thr shadow of tree.. You have to visit Bhutan once in Life.. To see what's happiness really matters.. Btw very nice video
You just spend 10years in my country to know the history. I am pissed by your video to be honest. But as a Buddhist I will take those anger back. You should never believe one sided story. Would you believe your wife if she say that she is hanging out in the bar with her good friends? But all she do is cheat on you. That's life. Haters gonna puke everything and more over distracted person like you will believe everything that you hear and read. Let your mind grow from other perspective and yes come to Bhutan to personally experience the question you have in your mind. I will be happy to take you around free of charge.
Personally I prefer apples. Unless we are talking juice then actually I prefer oranges. If I'm being totally honest mandarin juice is the best. Unless we are mixing juices then actually there are superior tastes available. Top of aisle 4 on the left, can't miss it, just look for the bright colours. Currently 2 for £3 down from £1.70 a litre. Sounds pricey but it's the grade A fruit juice... enjoy and welcome to #Waitrose
Bhutan doesn't claim to be the happiest country in the world, but through GNH we are trying to holistically develop our country. Its not like I will become fit right after i write down my goal to become healthier, the reality is it will take time (sorry for the bad example, that's the best i can come up with). Similarly, just because our country choose to measure our growth using GNH, it doesn't automatically make it the happiest country. This will take time, like all policies do. Therefore, i think it is too early to be dismissive about it. Anyway, I just found this video to be poorly researched.
Haha, this channel haven’t done much research on the country... they just searched the black side of Bhutan or some negative points to defame the most peaceful country and also the main sponsor for the gigantic Buddha in the country is a Singaporean businessman, not Chinese😂, I would really appreciate if you can do proper research next time before talking, confidently about something 😂
You don't need to have the highest per capita to be the happiest country in the world. I don't remember seeing any beggar on the streets of bhutan. There is abundance of organically grown food. The people seemed pretty patriotic to me and also had huge respect and love for the royal family. People in Bhutan respect cleanliness. They wear their national attire with pride. They follow their religion with sincerity. They have access to technology. They are pretty exposed to all the latest things happening around the world. People in Bhutan love their sports They love to party (crazy party scenes in thimpu) And still they have so much peace, natural beauty, cleanliness.. A country which does not give you a reason to get any negative emotion come into your head. Having said all that, yes the people are anti China. And they are embracing Indian culture as well. India is making a lot of investments in Bhutan when it comes to hydel power and it's will yield great results for future. Therefore, all that glitters in Bhutan is absolute gold.
I was a big fan of Visual Politik but this was one of the most poorly researched video done with either intent to slander or ignorance. Context/Facts they "Forgot" -The population is less than 1 million people -No mentions of economic structures that tax up to 60% of income for top 1% -No mentions of free education and healthcare for all and if hospital unable to perform surgeries the government subsidizes or in some cases pays for the operation in another country -How Bhutan is the only carbon negative country in the WHOLE WORLD! -How the King often gives land and money to those who are destitute -How homelessness is not an issue as between family and charity organizations there will always be a place to stay. These details are not small enough to slip by and it is clear this video was done with a great deal of either bias or simply not researched well at all.
Bhutanese are just obsessed with protecting their traditions. They are just not Globalised. It doesn't mean they are sad or something. They grow there own food, free education,free health care. And almost everyone in the country live like a monk so not having Supercar doesn't make them sad.

UN: Bhutan, you failed in the economic index. Bhutan: Don't measure us by money, here is a better index UN: You failed that too Bhutan: Why? UN: Because you failing economically.
you're looking at it from a Western angle trying to justify the cost..... development doesn't necessarily mean happiness. eastern culture is very different from Abrahmic cultures. it's why westerners fail to understand how can people be happy without money.
All happiness measurements by Western organisations is bunkum. If Nordic countries were that happy they would not have the world's largest (proportional to GDP and per capita) expenditure on mental health treatments. Western societies are some of the unhappiest and have had their social cohesion decimated. The divorce rates are through the roof in the Western world, is that a sign of happy society? Nobody in the eastern hemisphere trusts Western reports on anything least of all a happiness report. Not that we're west phobic, just that with so many social problems and no answer to a all consuming pursuit of material accumulation without any spiritual wisdom isn't the sign of a happy society at all. Though I wouldn't say there aren't any good points, the westerners are very hard working.

He needs new things to say about Bhutan because everyone is saying the same things about Bhutan so he wanted to be different from others that's why I guess.
I remember learning about Bhutan around 2010 or 2011. Then earlier this year (around March, April of May) I read about Bhutan's concept on Gross National Happiness. While it's good that the Bhutanese are happy on a spiritual level, a lot of work still needs to be done, such as address the discrimination. The good thing is that Bhutan has taken steps in the right direction, so conditions for the people are improving and the country still looks like a good place to visit one day.
@@niu-3- Oh they have this food ration quota where in terms of crisis they can go to one of those govt food banks from what I gather from a local tour guide when I visited Bhutan. But sometimes it comes too late and people starved and too little that its a first come first take basis after their local leaders have taken their share.
GNH has several different versions, as there's some disagreement over what should matter in it, but the most mainstream version does care about wealth. The relationship between happiness and wealth does break down at higher levels, but being poor certainly doesn't bode well for one's happiness. As such, wealth is considered in the measure - you don't need to be a millionaire, but it definitely favors being at least part of the global middle class.

The Ethnic Cleansing initiatives to remove Lhotshampa, or ethnic Nepalis, from Bhutan. Inter-ethnic tensions escalated in Bhutan, resulting in the flight of many Lhotshampa from Bhutan to Nepal, many of them expelled by the Bhutanese military.I India remains influential over Bhutan's foreign policy, defence and commerce. But the grip is slowly loosening, Bhutan youth are being warier. Bhutan may be Happy But they have their dark past.
the measure of happiness in this world is how well a country and its people live the white people way of life. When they dont, they are at the bottom of the list..
They are working on the path to become happiest country and preserve the nature at the same time... They have recently adopted the democracy and working their way towards sustainable development not following the path of capitalism
So happy that someone talked about Lhotshampas (who are basically Nepalis). Remember that these Lhotshampas today live in Nepal and taken in by the USA, Canada and other European countries. No one talked about it then! Today you will have the UN meddling into your domestic courts, if something of this kind happens in your country.
What can we expect from the country that does not conduct population census. Bhutan King want to stay in power and India wants puppet state. Win-Win scenario. Who cares what King does to its people, its their internal issue. So far India is sucking all juices, Bhutan is great.
in usa 1000dollar in a month=what a poor guy in Bangladesh, 1000dollar in a month =it's the 1st class salary for a first class life... so, less than one dollar earning is not means you are poor everywhere.and many area of south east asia need not too much money for livelihood and trade
Bhutan isn't heaven but it certainly isn't amongst the poorest countries in the world like you say. It has a relatively high per capita income compared to its neighbours and an okay HDI. Still isn't the best though
Communist Potato Um no? It’s 1,000 dollars larger than India’s and about 6,000 dollars smaller than China’s. tradingeconomics.com/bhutan/gdp-per-capita
Appreciate your research and survey on my country.. but to be honest, we may not be a happiest country in this world, we may not be rich like your country, we may not be competitive with other country but let me remind, although my country is small and sandwich between two giant countries( China in north, India in south) we are not colonies by any country until now.. we don’t have to pay for our education, we don’t have to pay for our health facilities, and in rural areas people don’t have to pay electricity bill. Yes we are poor, but ask yourself a question, your country is rich and wealthy but does your country proved free education and health facilities. We have our kings and a spiritual guardian to protect our country. We people of Bhutan didn’t beg for the democratic system of government, instead our great 4th king gave a power to the citizens to form the people’s government. Bhutan isn’t a happiest country but we are blessed with what we have and who we are..
Yes there’s poverty in Bhutan and it’s around 8% but at the same time, Countries like the USA also got poverty and it’s around 11%. But here’s the catch, people in Bhutan enjoy free education and free health care while it’s not the same in the US. Now who’s happy and who’s not?
Norway, Sweden which gets the top position in HDI is still pumping oil in thousands of barrels/day. While Bhutan is carbon negative country. It will never screw its natural resources
Yes we nepalese have to settle those thousands of nepalese speaking minority in lots of years. Thats why nepal doesnt have much good relationwith bhutan still now

thank you India, you controlled the whole internal and external affairs of Bhutan, force Bhutanese to believe they are living in the happiest country in the whole universe...
I’m a Bhutanese and I can definitely say we are not delusional. Bhutanese are happy and not because someone is making us believe that but we are blessed in many ways, it’s just that people who value materialistic things doesn’t see it.
Bhutan people are living with less money. This makes the people less dependent on money for their needs. They don't have to sell their natural resources to buy oil. They don't need banks to save their money or to finance big projects. May be people are happy because they don't have to miss their family, when young people migrate to other countries in search of employment. Doesn't it address many problems?
Ok let me get straight The war we had in 2003 is nowhere linked what you said. In 2003, Indian militants were hiding in Bhutanese jungles and were attacking Indian. The militants also caused problems to the Bhutanese. The government requested to leave Bhutan but the militants rejected all the proposal. And ultimately the last resort was to have war, led by 4th King who went into the war. There is no linked about what you said. And ya the rank of most peaceful country, Bhutan stands at 15th in 2019. At least you could have gone through some details facts and check whether the information is authentic or not. Peace ✌️

I have been to Bhutan. It is an amazing country. And people are really simple and happy there. Would love to visit again
Please leave us alone we are poor! We don’t have any sense of what being happy is all about! Happiness to you right now is trying to act like “Simon”!! Good luck with that!!
Give no damn bro
Poorly researched video. Lots of information in this video are not correct! And you have just informed one sided story. Hear what people in Bhutan have to say about the Nepalese minorities. Their leader created disruption and manipulated innocent people leading to uprising. It wasn’t ethnic cleaning in first place. They killed lots of innocent people before leaving for Nepal, mostly their own. If that was ethnic cleansing how come many Lhotshampa are ministers, NC, and lots of them hold key positions in government job? Those who did not flee are leading a comfortable life in Bhutan. And regarding peace & democracy, I know where you got the information...it’s from stuffs written by those minorities who have been constantly writing bad things about Bhutan and they’re not even true.
It is clear the on-air star and the staff of VisualPolitik have not personally visited the country. My wish is you would visit a country, meet the people, and experience their version of this human experience before making definitive statements about them.
Exactly!
Bhutan did by the right when they expelled Nepalese.I mean I am from northeast india and I can see the drastic population growth of these people.They initially were used as cow herders or cattle farmers by the British and now they are a sizable minority.Bhutan did what they thought was to preserve their identity.If you look at sikkim from our perspective you will know why. Sikkimese people are now a minority in their own former kingdom, now I dnt even knw if they are there.even the state language is Nepalese with full majority nepalese in Gov :,-( .Being a monarchy or a dictatorship doesnot help any countries but the monarchy in Bhutan is why they are not already annexed by either China or Nepal.Note that Nepalese monarchy didn't fair well and the subsequent consequences Nepal had to face was cruel.You should check historical facts and the inter territorial movement of people that happened during British Raj in the subcontinent then maybe you will see it in a different light.Anyways good work.
Then why didnt to settle those rufugees and fprced to enter nepal? U r best friend of bhutan na huh? Bhutan problwm is ur problem too. Why u set open border to nepal then? Nepal dont have responsibility towards them.
With that logic, the UK should deport Indians in order to preserve their tradition and culture.
@@nishk6617 Bhutan is merely a puppet of India. India controls everything of Bhutan. This does not reflect Sovereignty of Bhutan.
India is Hypocrite country and the most liar among all the nations. They annexed Sikkim.
India let all Bhutanese of Nepali Origin to enter Nepal, but did not let them go back to Bhutan. They stopped them right away at the Nepal-India border.
The Nepali population in Bhutan accounts for more than 60%, It expelled more than 10% of entire country population.
Comparing with India, it could be situation if India had expelled all Muslim population or, Bangladesh expelling all Hindu population.
Maybe i am wrong.Maybe I am right.Who is to decide that?.Perhaps teaching people to understand the context of my comments on videos must be my future calling.I hope not.

We are with Bhutan from independence we manage the foreign affairs as well as defence 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇧🇹🇧🇹🇧🇹
As well as puppet nation right?
1.3 billion on the south side country of bhutan knows about bhutan and 1.4 billion people on the north side country of bhutan knows about bhutan.....so my question is how can you even consider that very few people knows about bhutan😤😤😤😤
Whole world isnt just 1.3 billion indians u fool
@@nishk6617 that's why I have mentioned 'very few people'......and I have included chinese as well.
With free education and free health care what else we need for free? Free meals and hostels at boarding schools, land for landless people are given for agriculture from His Majesty. It's up to people work hard or not and be happy. So the ranking you are talking about does not matter to any citizen of Bhutan. We are happy with what we have. Cheers.
"Bhutan is one of the most nationalist countries in the world". Now George Soros will come there and bark that "Bhutan needs liberalism".
people of Bhutan say "I am happy".
world says " no you are not happy"
who cares if I feel happy? keep going.
I actually love the country Bhutan and it's on my bucket list to visit. I could name 15 things about the country off the top of my head lmao
if you interview North Korean, they must tell you NK is the most powerful country in this world; same logic, Bhutan must be the happiest country in the world, oh, btw, may be you can ask Lhotsampa in Bhutan, they will tell you their love the immortal King of Bhutan and Bhutan culture.
If you consider having pubs in your neighbour makes you happy, then yes Bhutan in not the happiest country.
First video with bad research and blind western eyesight. Comparison with any western index is just not applicable to Bhutan. They have very rich and unique culture and lifestyle.
Bhutan follows concept of happiness in humbleness. You need to visit to know them. It is definitely one of the happiest country. people are not rich but follow the concept of simplicity and family bonds. Please visit and see by yourself.

You just found a one piece of evidence to counter Bhutan claim and u made whole video.... Thanks
its true that "all that glitters is not gold". but still, Bhutan is amazing. The current pandemic has taught us development is not what we used to think. Bhutan is the only carbon negative country in the world and its their constitutional obligation to remain carbon neutral. only for this reason, i can love Bhutan!
One political issue: Bangladesh is eager to buy electricity from bhutan. But the problem is these two countries dont share border. Only 20-30 km land of india separates these two. And india is reluctant to allow construction of infrastructure to transmit electricity from Bhutan to Bangladesh.
Dark side of the bhutan that was hidden....
You don't need money to be happy..
Your ancestors didn't need 4Bhk house to be happy they were happy sitting in thr shadow of tree..
You have to visit Bhutan once in Life..
To see what's happiness really matters..
Btw very nice video
You just spend 10years in my country to know the history. I am pissed by your video to be honest. But as a Buddhist I will take those anger back. You should never believe one sided story. Would you believe your wife if she say that she is hanging out in the bar with her good friends? But all she do is cheat on you. That's life. Haters gonna puke everything and more over distracted person like you will believe everything that you hear and read. Let your mind grow from other perspective and yes come to Bhutan to personally experience the question you have in your mind. I will be happy to take you around free of charge.
If money, power and influence is what is called happiness then goodbye my friend.
A completely prejudiced report coming from a very biased journalist . He is comparing oranges to apples .
Personally I prefer apples. Unless we are talking juice then actually I prefer oranges. If I'm being totally honest mandarin juice is the best. Unless we are mixing juices then actually there are superior tastes available. Top of aisle 4 on the left, can't miss it, just look for the bright colours. Currently 2 for £3 down from £1.70 a litre. Sounds pricey but it's the grade A fruit juice... enjoy and welcome to #Waitrose
Bhutan doesn't claim to be the happiest country in the world, but through GNH we are trying to holistically develop our country. Its not like I will become fit right after i write down my goal to become healthier, the reality is it will take time (sorry for the bad example, that's the best i can come up with). Similarly, just because our country choose to measure our growth using GNH, it doesn't automatically make it the happiest country. This will take time, like all policies do. Therefore, i think it is too early to be dismissive about it. Anyway, I just found this video to be poorly researched.
Haha, this channel haven’t done much research on the country... they just searched the black side of Bhutan or some negative points to defame the most peaceful country and also the main sponsor for the gigantic Buddha in the country is a Singaporean businessman, not Chinese😂, I would really appreciate if you can do proper research next time before talking, confidently about something 😂
You don't need to have the highest per capita to be the happiest country in the world.
I don't remember seeing any beggar on the streets of bhutan.
There is abundance of organically grown food.
The people seemed pretty patriotic to me and also had huge respect and love for the royal family.
People in Bhutan respect cleanliness.
They wear their national attire with pride.
They follow their religion with sincerity.
They have access to technology.
They are pretty exposed to all the latest things happening around the world.
People in Bhutan love their sports
They love to party (crazy party scenes in thimpu)
And still they have so much peace, natural beauty, cleanliness..
A country which does not give you a reason to get any negative emotion come into your head.
Having said all that, yes the people are anti China. And they are embracing Indian culture as well.
India is making a lot of investments in Bhutan when it comes to hydel power and it's will yield great results for future.
Therefore, all that glitters in Bhutan is absolute gold.
I was a big fan of Visual Politik but this was one of the most poorly researched video done with either intent to slander or ignorance. Context/Facts they "Forgot"
-The population is less than 1 million people
-No mentions of economic structures that tax up to 60% of income for top 1%
-No mentions of free education and healthcare for all and if hospital unable to perform surgeries the government subsidizes or in some cases pays for the operation in another country
-How Bhutan is the only carbon negative country in the WHOLE WORLD!
-How the King often gives land and money to those who are destitute
-How homelessness is not an issue as between family and charity organizations there will always be a place to stay.
These details are not small enough to slip by and it is clear this video was done with a great deal of either bias or simply not researched well at all.
Bhutanese are just obsessed with protecting their traditions. They are just not Globalised. It doesn't mean they are sad or something. They grow there own food, free education,free health care. And almost everyone in the country live like a monk so not having Supercar doesn't make them sad.
This report is crap.. don’t know where he got all the info from.. get ur facts correct..
HE SHOULD GROW A BEARD! A FULL FLEDGED JUICY SIMON BEARD LMAO

Bhutan: Don't measure us by money, here is a better index
UN: You failed that too
Bhutan: Why?
UN: Because you failing economically.
you're looking at it from a Western angle trying to justify the cost..... development doesn't necessarily mean happiness. eastern culture is very different from Abrahmic cultures. it's why westerners fail to understand how can people be happy without money.
Says that the country is poor while showing video fo cars which are expensive in the region 😂
Dont trust this guy he doesnt have beard ......Its Bhutan not Buthan.....silly beardless guy
He is one insolent person with lil knowledge but speaks much like he knows everything.
Maybe because Bhutan does not have oil
do we have to be rich to be happy? thats the difference between present world and my country bhutan, definition of happiness.
All happiness measurements by Western organisations is bunkum. If Nordic countries were that happy they would not have the world's largest (proportional to GDP and per capita) expenditure on mental health treatments. Western societies are some of the unhappiest and have had their social cohesion decimated. The divorce rates are through the roof in the Western world, is that a sign of happy society? Nobody in the eastern hemisphere trusts Western reports on anything least of all a happiness report. Not that we're west phobic, just that with so many social problems and no answer to a all consuming pursuit of material accumulation without any spiritual wisdom isn't the sign of a happy society at all. Though I wouldn't say there aren't any good points, the westerners are very hard working.
Did he say Holland ranks amongst the happiest countries in the world? Where is the rest of The Netherlands ranked then?
so what's the difference between Holland and Netherlands? Do Dutch people call their nation Holland instead of Netherlands?
@@xingchenfan7923 Holland are two counties in the west. People living in Limburg, Groningen or De Antillen are living in The Netherlands., but not in Noord- or Zuid-Holland.
@@LenQuerido So basically Holland is just part of the Netherlands?
@@xingchenfan7923 Yeah, I don't know why people refer to The Netherlands as Holland. Holland is a large, populated region within the Netherlands and the capital Amsterdam is located there I think. But it certainly doesn't refer to the whole country
@@bababababababa6124 mainly because of historical name/term. The name for the Netherlands in Indonesian (language) is Belanda, which was derived from portuguese name of Holland.
I've been to bhutan and it's the best country you'll ever go to and so freaking beautiful
this man made bhutan look like syria or somalia.he be like hail negativity.
He needs new things to say about Bhutan because everyone is saying the same things about Bhutan so he wanted to be different from others that's why I guess.
Guys this channel won’t get far with this guy I promise you
Are you sponsored by chinese
If you’d take a few minutes to actually look at the history of their videos, you will see they are very much against the current Chinese government.
He cannot wrap his mind around the fact that Bhutan is content with what they have.
I remember learning about Bhutan around 2010 or 2011. Then earlier this year (around March, April of May) I read about Bhutan's concept on Gross National Happiness. While it's good that the Bhutanese are happy on a spiritual level, a lot of work still needs to be done, such as address the discrimination. The good thing is that Bhutan has taken steps in the right direction, so conditions for the people are improving and the country still looks like a good place to visit one day.
country of the Thunder Dragon , a clean environment , I can wear my bath robe everywhere... I don't get the low rankings
Biased judgements as always by Western media..
Ermmm, Starvation? If you earn $1 a day, what are you going to do if your crop yield is bad for the year?
With $1 a day you cant even afford to watch this video. Typical tourist trash
@@niu-3- Oh they have this food ration quota where in terms of crisis they can go to one of those govt food banks from what I gather from a local tour guide when I visited Bhutan. But sometimes it comes too late and people starved and too little that its a first come first take basis after their local leaders have taken their share.
GNH has several different versions, as there's some disagreement over what should matter in it, but the most mainstream version does care about wealth. The relationship between happiness and wealth does break down at higher levels, but being poor certainly doesn't bode well for one's happiness. As such, wealth is considered in the measure - you don't need to be a millionaire, but it definitely favors being at least part of the global middle class.
I was under the impresion that this channel was unbaised..but these days i have realised that this channel is no different..why cant anyone look at the complete picture😔
So what did they miss?
Honestly i don't know enough about it so am asking what you're unhappy with?

Mate you think they need money? They produce their one food.
The Ethnic Cleansing initiatives to remove Lhotshampa, or ethnic Nepalis, from Bhutan. Inter-ethnic tensions escalated in Bhutan, resulting in the flight of many Lhotshampa from Bhutan to Nepal, many of them expelled by the Bhutanese military.I India remains influential over Bhutan's foreign policy, defence and commerce. But the grip is slowly loosening, Bhutan youth are being warier. Bhutan may be Happy But they have their dark past.
the measure of happiness in this world is how well a country and its people live the white people way of life. When they dont, they are at the bottom of the list..
They are working on the path to become happiest country and preserve the nature at the same time... They have recently adopted the democracy and working their way towards sustainable development not following the path of capitalism
toatally mis leaning info
poor research
I didn't expect by visualpolitik about this type of unresearched and mis leading video
You could atleast spell the country right .....😑😑😑
Bhutan is the very beautiful country. The people of Bhutan are very nice and friendly.We Bangladeshi like Bhutan very very much.
So happy that someone talked about Lhotshampas (who are basically Nepalis). Remember that these Lhotshampas today live in Nepal and taken in by the USA, Canada and other European countries. No one talked about it then! Today you will have the UN meddling into your domestic courts, if something of this kind happens in your country.
What can we expect from the country that does not conduct population census.
Bhutan King want to stay in power and India wants puppet state. Win-Win scenario. Who cares what King does to its people, its their internal issue. So far India is sucking all juices, Bhutan is great.

Not true. Get your facts right.
in usa 1000dollar in a month=what a poor guy
in Bangladesh, 1000dollar in a month =it's the 1st class salary for a first class life...
so, less than one dollar earning is not means you are poor everywhere.and many area of south east asia need not too much money for livelihood and trade
Exactly.
Bhutan isn't heaven but it certainly isn't amongst the poorest countries in the world like you say. It has a relatively high per capita income compared to its neighbours and an okay HDI. Still isn't the best though
Its GDP per capita is three times lower than India's and more than six times lower then China's

Leave bhutan alone. Stop imposing your culture to others.
Appreciate your research and survey on my country.. but to be honest, we may not be a happiest country in this world, we may not be rich like your country, we may not be competitive with other country but let me remind, although my country is small and sandwich between two giant countries( China in north, India in south) we are not colonies by any country until now.. we don’t have to pay for our education, we don’t have to pay for our health facilities, and in rural areas people don’t have to pay electricity bill. Yes we are poor, but ask yourself a question, your country is rich and wealthy but does your country proved free education and health facilities. We have our kings and a spiritual guardian to protect our country. We people of Bhutan didn’t beg for the democratic system of government, instead our great 4th king gave a power to the citizens to form the people’s government. Bhutan isn’t a happiest country but we are blessed with what we have and who we are..
spelt the name wrong in the title might wanna fix it before more see it
I know. For someone, who doesn't even know the spelling and pronunciation of the country to critique it. HAHA
Yes there’s poverty in Bhutan and it’s around 8% but at the same time, Countries like the USA also got poverty and it’s around 11%. But here’s the catch, people in Bhutan enjoy free education and free health care while it’s not the same in the US. Now who’s happy and who’s not?
Norway, Sweden which gets the top position in HDI is still pumping oil in thousands of barrels/day.
While Bhutan is carbon negative country. It will never screw its natural resources
Yes we nepalese have to settle those thousands of nepalese speaking minority in lots of years. Thats why nepal doesnt have much good relationwith bhutan still now

Let's see which country is rich after 30 years when water and oxygen becomes the most valuable commodity.
Bhutan people are living with less money. This makes the people less dependent on money for their needs. They don't have to sell their natural resources to buy oil. They don't need banks to save their money or to finance big projects. May be people are happy because they don't have to miss their family, when young people migrate to other countries in search of employment. Doesn't it address many problems?

Ok let me get straight
The war we had in 2003 is nowhere linked what you said.
In 2003, Indian militants were hiding in Bhutanese jungles and were attacking Indian. The militants also caused problems to the Bhutanese. The government requested to leave Bhutan but the militants rejected all the proposal. And ultimately the last resort was to have war, led by 4th King who went into the war. There is no linked about what you said. And ya the rank of most peaceful country, Bhutan stands at 15th in 2019. At least you could have gone through some details facts and check whether the information is authentic or not. Peace ✌️
Visit Bhutan then you'll realize its the happiest country in the world
