In spite
of the fact,a
man namely NAAFE who had
known as historic
prisoner in the
realm of stalwart
Kingdom of Bhutan. He
was a job
holder in the
Ministry of Finance, capital Thimphu for
a certain number
of years. In course of
time he had been
transferred to the
Department of registration under
the Home Ministry, Capital Thimphu, there after he
was jobless. His family background was
not clearly known;
however he was
married one of a girl from
Paro Bhutan. She belonged from
rich and prosperous family from Paro Bhutan. An idleman
endure his life
at hired room
of Dorji’s(kuertepa)
dwelling.
Although there were several other renters, like
servicemen, businessmen including us in the same building. In our
group, we were there
namely-Dawa,KB and myself sheltered
in one room next
to his(NAFE)room
Tshewang,Dungkhala,tsheten Namgyal and
Lepola in another room. We were
also not so
vanity fair for
clear vision towards our
future life and
were too young
to stress the
bulwark situation of that
time in Thimphu. Even we don’t have right ideas to streamline for our future
survival. Every day we were called for playing cards with him in the evening
time. Because he was jobless and just
would like to kill the boredom
with us. Soon after we had known
the man was
deeply sorry for blaming the unknown
destruction he had caused.
As he had sent
to the police
confinement by some
police officer to Dadilmakha
Thimphu.We knew that we were
unaware of the
victim as oblivious
into our past
life. When the man
first taken to
the confinement ,he had
been asked ridiculous questions
that had been
suspected crimes.He might
have expressed bad
tempered and rude saying in
front of the
police during the statement
time.NAAFE also knew that
he was the best
school mate of police
officer,Dawa Penjore(HAAPPA)
and believed for
the exemption of
exorbitant punishment. It wasn’t susceptible that
police officer would have
supposed to malice him
for his provocative bad temper and
cruel saying to the
king and made
him guilty for
punishment.Now,the man remain
in the custody
and started court case. Several months
he had attended
to the high court, Thimphu escorting with police, tying his limbs by iron
chain for the verdict
to his accusation
.Occassionally,once I meet him into the
prison Dadimakha,but I have no chance to
talk more with
him.That was only he
was in Thimphu, later it
was understood he had been
sent to underground, electrical
jail for the
corporal punishment apprehended
by the high court Thimphu. Though his
judicious idea supported
and endeavored him to
escape from the
above gaol,which was
inexplicable at that situation. Thereafter he
had started the
bewilder journey from
Wangdiphodrang,he darted whole
hours steadily into day and night towards difficult paths
of that areas crossing high
mountains, rocks, terrains
without specific directions
and at last
he reached in Sarbhang
Bhutan(border town of India).One
of our friend, namely Mr.Dwa was also there, he
-->
was on leave and in
his homestead,Sarbhang.At
the same time he suddenly
met the old
friend with very
critical condition,sighed by
seeing swelling limbs and
hold some talks. The
old friend( NAFE) explains all
of his life’s confronted grief and
sorrows from the
beginnings. He was so hungry asked for some food. He don’t
have even a single pai
with him.Mr.Dawa bought some
food and offer
him and fulfilled general courtesy,as “A friend in need is
a friend indeed.”( it
was afar to
meet him, but even no
one could spell his
name NAFE,such restriction
was made by the Bhutan Government).
Sarbhang Bhutan
is a place of International border town of Assam. It
was easier to go India Assam and
search shelter for
the sake of his
life.Mr. Dawa fulfilled the
urgent needs of
his old friends
and dispersed to
different directions.Mr.Dawa,himself
returned back to his
regular job in Thimphu after the specific
period of leave
sanctioned to him. The
days were passing, one day an
intelligentsia from the
police Department,Dadimakha approached
to Mr.Dawa without knowing ,Wang Tshering(our best Firend in Thimphu) as
he only desired
to know the real
meetings about NA AFE,to whom met by Dawa in Sarbhang Bazaar as it was already
espionages by the police psycologically.We had
been aware of the victims that
our old friend
was encroached by the
rules into their
enclosures. But this had not been affected to anybody.
As the years
were passing by, I had
been transferred on
temporary basis to
Wangdiphodrang and had to
work under the direct
supervision of Dzongkhag
Administration and normally I
had been there.Firstnight I halted
-->
at the host
of Inspection
Bungalow,Wangdiphodrang.The actual date was 12th August 1982.We had
dinner from the
Hotel and having finished
of our dinner we
had started our
conversation with several
friends with an education officer, namely Sonam Wangchuk from
Wangdiphodrang.We also had
extra discussion abstaining from
the past events and passed the
time of
that day.Since the famous
hidden name, which was concealed and
restricted to be pronounced within entire country by the
government explicitly .We
had no concept and without caring
the concern of
that name included to our general
conversation during our discussions hold. At the
moment, we don’t know
the intelligence were quickly observed our conversation to which, it
was country’s great hidden secrecy ,since longtime ago. Having finished the above enjoyable
conversation everyone went to sleep in their residences. The next day I
went to join my
duty with Dzongkhag
Administration.Dasho Dzongdah,namely Sherab Thai
was ranked as Dzongdag Wangdiphodrang at
that time. He had
suggested me to
join the duty
and also suggested to
go to the
field for survey
of land awarded
by the King
to the landless
people of that
Dzongkhag.Accordingly.I got ready
with Bhutanese clerk(Dui, an
employee of that
Dzongkhag) Mr. Dorji Gyaltshen.
Now, we
had to move
the direction towards
CHEGINA LHAKHANG(TEMPLE) OF SHAH Gewog
near the slate factory
of Wangdiphodrang. We had started
our tour and reached at Chegina Lhakhang and halted. We had been accommodated
to sleep inside
it.The Lhakhang was oldest one,the statue
of Buddha was
standstill for Idol
worship.Mr. Dorji Gyaltshen was like
an astrologer in
Buddhist faith; he had
taken some of the
almanac and started scrolling and reading for
prophesying, whereas I was
already slumbering next to him
as asleep also my
eyes were not opening and
observed spontaneously but I didn’t
ask anything to
him. The portrayal of robust
voices revealed to the
real scenario of the
Inspection Bungalow of Wangdiphodrang
of the
previous day. As I had
recalled and revised
to the past
events at that
night, the psychosis doesn’t
-->
dismantled my aims. I had
more opportunities to
know the situation of
the above man-NAAFE psychologically to
the electronic jail in Wangdiphodrang Dzong underground. But Dorji
Gyaltshen were busy
for reading prophecy and
not knowing my terrible views
at that
moment. After some hours both
of us had slept
by putting off the
local lamp. When we
had slept it
was startled that
dreamy spirit sent
me everything to that Dungeon where
NAAFE was in an agony of
indecision to which I never
seen before. When I reached
at that oblliette.A voice asked me
a question in
Hindi(AAP EDHAR KYU AAYA HAI)why
did you come here? The
door of that Dungeon
was ajar and sudden
gleams reflected NAFE’s agony
was inside with
uttermost decree under
the black jail among
the heap of excrement
with adverse corporal
punishment by iron
press on his
backbone. A glimpse of deterrent views of that dungeon was scanned.
Only military high
ranking recognized officials were
allowed to strain up to the
specific points. The night
was passed and
tomorrow, I woke up from
bed and was
remained in the same
Lhakhang (Chegina) .I didn’t say
anything all of these
to my friends,Dorji Gyaltshen.We had
breakfast brought by the local
people and move
towards duty to survey the
lands, we had started
surveying the plots steadily. The sixty plots had to be
surveyed; it took two weeks to complete. We have completed the above survey
works within right time. The humorous
voices and scenes echoed
in mind incessantly, however we had
returned back to
Wangdiphongdrang. Reaching
at Wangdiphodrang I had
have more reactions envisages but
I was undaunted
and sheltered at
the quarter of my
colleague, but serious disturbances
had been occurred
to my sleep, humorously same as the commotion
of the day
when I were first in the Inspection Bungalow. The controversial
robust unseen voices goad me to the hospital. Now, I reached in the Army hospital about
11 p.m. night and met one
of the health worker
and put my
problems, He advised me to
sleep in
the bed and
get rest; once
again I forced him to
call the Doctor instantly.
He also tried to
my request but Doctor
advised him to
do the same
thing (rest).He gave
me some tablets and
let me sleep in the bed. Tomorrow early in the morning I woke up
and went to take breakfast. After
having finished my beakfast,again I returned
to the hospital and awaited to
the Doctor, the reaction
was little bit normal. All
the hospital staffs have
arrived and started
their schedule duties
and the Doctor
too. I had been advised to go and meet Doctor accordingly.
An elderly Dr.
of Indian Army similar man who
asked me Hindi question above
when I was in the oubliette before, he
let me sit in front
of him and asked me
the question of
last night.” OH! You were the
person to whom, my
staff was calling me
last night for
the emergency”. “I said, yes!
He noticed me
seriously and prescribed
medicine and laid
back the slip
in my hand. After I
had received the
medicine and returned
to my temporary
shelter.Nonetheless,I had submitted the previous
reports of surveying.Now,I went
to the Wangdiphodrang Dongdag
office and submitted
all the survey
reports of the land
surveyed.After the
submission of the
above reports again Dasho
Dzongdag had instructed and
ordered me to
go for surveying
another plots awarded
by the King in other
villages, the particular places
were near Pelela Mountain
which was situated in
the middle of
Wangdi phodrang and Tongsa districts.I
started to move
alone towards the destinations with
necessary survey instruments,only few of
the plots had
to be surveyed
there.
-->
Having finished
surveying, I have prepared the reports of
surveyed plots, then and there
and handed it to the GUP(village head
man) of that Gewog(block) to deliver it
to the Dasho Dzongdag,
Wangdiphodrang.Now, I am on the
Tongsa road waiting for
bus services to head towards my
original homestead. Absolutely,
I hadn’t
wishes to return back to
Wangdiphodrang rather than I wish to go to my original hometown.
After few minutes BGTS(black truck) had arrived which was schedule
bus services from
Wangdiphodrang to Tongsa and
pickup me towards Tongsa and by
public truck to
Gaylegphug Bhutan. In this
system of transportation, I reached in
my original hometown Tshirang Damphu without
prior approval of
Dasho Dzongdag Wangdiphodrang.
All of my
household stuffs, like clothes,utensils,boxes
and even some money were
lost in Wangdiphodrang from
the places where
I was kept. Only
I have had my
small bag and not a
single paai have left in
my pocket unless I
reached in my
hometown,Damphu Bazaar. When I reached
in my native Damphu Bazaar at 2 p.m. I
have seen there everybody were
enjoying football and delighted with large
crowd.I was sure the robust
spirits were followed fantastically
and made me
bereaved. However, now I reached
in my original home
and birth place under Tshirang Districts particularly ,a lovely rural
village GOPENI (DUNGLAGANG GEWOG ,BLOCK)
and I had long
breathe too ,having met with
all of my relatives,
block head community members. I
have not explain anything about my
arrival and discussed
of my grievances of reaching there. Since, longtime I have
been in my original
home GOPENI, like two-three
months without thinking anything about my
precious jobs under Bhutan
Government. Indeed , later on
I really Knew it
was great opportunity to recollected
and reputed educational evidences
through my explained
grievances in a
wide extent. Eventually I had
gained new ideas and
knowledge about the
system of administrative
networking of Government and
regulations of rules in proportion
to the different
religions within the
country(particularly Buddhism and
Hinduism) Bhutan.
During my liberal time
in my original
home, a message from
land record office
Thimphu was received
through the messenger
of Dzongdag office
Tshirang,as the messages was
stated to join the
duty immediately. Three months
was already passed, nevertheless I were so
interested to continue the
government services.. Once
I have
-->
determined that I
would not go and
join my duty and
render future services
under Bhutan Government.Because,if I would have
been reacted again and
felt nervousness and
shudder, my life
will be failure. After four
months there was another messages
from land record
office, Thimphu also stated
same thing, to join the duty very
soon. Now, I thought I could go and
bear the burden by
joining the services
contestantly.But I have no money for
fares to reach
Thimphu. However, I managed
some on returnable basis, but I haven’t believed
of getting something
from my Department because I was
illegally abandoned the duty
from Wangdiphodrang.Now, I have
joined my duty again in Thimphu.Mr. Lhakpa Duba was the
In-Charge of the entire land record system of Bhutan. He had
addressed me by the clan
name “Sharma,”(because at
that time my
name was Srinarayan Sharma
or in short S.N.Sharma it was
to be
written clan name compulsorily
in any of
the govt.records) and
advised to prepare
the bills of
four months with
extra expenditures and submit it.Accordingly,I did the same and reimbursed the unexpected amount sanctioned
to me, again I have started
my regular duty after four months but the above things was stunning
to me.
As the time
were passing by,
with continuing of
my daily activities and increasing
new ideas of daily
environment and the policy and
procedures of the Government Department. However every
activities were ridiculous
and I couldn’t weighed and measure the
real things. Every possibilities were germinated by
the causes of the
above casualty with the
genuine sneak which were also provable. No person
could explain the
real happenings which
was enhancing at
regular intervals. I, also
have better ideas
that it was
not the questionnaire and
debatable to get more
better ideas from
other sources. Although I continued
my regular job
with every awareness
of the past.
Now the pictures reflected towards the LUGER THEATRE
of Thimphu. The manager Sonam who was
the responsible head of the cinema hall. He
had put allegation
to Mr. NAFE of
stealing Ngultrums twenty thousand
from the cabin of
Lugar theatre.In otherhand,the difficult and aimless
journey was steadily
followed by NAAFE
and at last he reached
at Shillong,a second metropolitan city
of Assam(India) from
Sarbhang and domesticated
there and started a job,
as a
Hotel Manager, he was
continued the said
career for the
sake of his
daily life.
Now, the
police Department from
Thimphu Bhutan have
sent a delegation
team with an
envoy of Inspector
Wangdi Tshering from
Dadimakha for sleuthing to
NAFE at Shilling . The team were
encroaching the city by seeking
the help from
Indian Police to
sleuth to the
entire city of
Shillong and at the end they have
succeeded and arrested NAFE
from a Hotel who
was fully disguised
with long beard
in his cheek
which was difficult
to identify the
particular person. They have brought
him up to
Thimphu and handed
to the Indian
Military(IMTRAT).In spite of
the fact, the punishment have been
done cruelly. As the
man (NAAFE) had been
taken in solitude
barren meadow in
a murky night
and put his
eyes blindfold tying with blind
fold materials by Indian
Army and sent
him to the oubliette. The amazements
were exerted and influenced of
the spiritual environment
in regular intervals, indeed it
could be never known
by the common
people nor they had dreamt
for the system
of condign oubliette in
Bhutan.
The
incarceration would have
been sent through blindfold
and condign punishment ought
to be
born inside accordingly. The system
of opening of
that captivity was
automatic, when the arrested person
should go inside, the
door will open
automatically and close
too. The limited point
was fixed for
the duty man, he will
not allow beyond that
point. The name of incarcerated persons in the above
dungeon were prohibited
to spell, spread and
acknowledge anywhere within
the country. If the
specific name of
that person and
particular spot will
be discussed explicitly from
anywhere, the fact is
that the door
of that dungeon
will surge automatically,if the
man inside it, he will be
set free. So NAAFE
was incarcerated in
the above oubliette
for a certain
period and he had
also succeeded to
escape from there very
sensitively. As it was revealed through regular haunted spirit. The evil spirit
have shown the NAAFE
was really riding
bicycle with Punjabi
dress after getting
out from that oubliette and
agile to India. In a second, Indian military checked
the ongoing events of that oubliette. This
type of paramountcy is a
scientific way of Monarchy
in the stalwart
domain of Bhutan.
Thus the above
story of extent
areas pursuit towards
the person’s agitation
synchronized to the
contrary of modern
Bhutan. The haunted spirit
also revealed that
the person from criminal
investigation(detective) from
India was cogitated
and followed concurrently towards the contemporary political
vibrant within Bhutan. As
it was
exemplified that some
Indian men have reimbursed the money as
their payments for the above
activity from Thimphu Bank
after the NAFE’s ran
away from that
place. It was cleared
that the dreamy
and haunted spirits hovered
it’s views for
the above political
vibrant in Bhutan. Really, It means
the oubliette was completely scientific modeled and all the confined assignments
of that Dungeon interrelated with
India and the way of holding the
reign in her
hand.
Thimphu is
a most
modern Capital city of Bhutan
and Tashichhodzong is built
with a great
technology and other
important Dzongs in Bhutan are Wangdiphodrang,Tongsa and
Paro too . It is
just looks like
an old fashioned
fort fortified at the
outer part , but it
had been accentuated
and infrastructured inside in
a scientific ways. All the
functions of underground
activities are designed
through the switch
system of electricity. In otherhand,all the prisoners of conscience
of 1974 onwards
were lost in
the above dungeon. Some of
them were army top
ranking officials and
Ashi Yanki,second queen of
King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk who
was hosted at
the royal palace
in Gaylegphug Bhutan
was regicide and
last tried to
explode the Tashichhodzong with
the accompaniment of
the above top
ranking officials in 1974.Suddenly,India or watch
dog,INDO-FRIENDSHIP MILITARY TRAINING
TEAM (IMTRAT) knew the conspiracies before very limited
minutes of explosion times and could
dissuaded from being embarrassments. It was a
great question that
why did she
desire to perish the
heiress and scampered
and searched asylum
in India. Why the Bhutan
government does not like to show the above prisoners?Because, the probability
is all they
might have been
dead inside it, and their children were
grown , matured, educated and
starts pressurizing to the
government of Bhutan to show their parents, it is
hidden among them.Thereafter,the Bhutan
government had proposed good plan
to keep the
group uprising giving
them responsible post like
high rank and for
some cases Ministers ,so that
they will not harass
and bring conflicts
into the entire
administrations within the Country. In this
context, sole administrative powers were
being given to the above
groups, including Jigme Y Thinley who
was the manpower experts in the beginning and
now holding the bureaucratic
power of the Bhutan
Government by being
supported to the
King Only.
The Bhutan
government has made
good plans to
avoid condign punishment
to the Lhotshampas
in the above
oubliette. The Indian former
prime minister Indira Gandhi
already prophesied the future
of Bhutan and made aware to
Jigme Singye Wangchuk.If any
Lhotshampas would be involved
in the same
political connotation, their fundamental
rights within the country
will be cemented
and the majority
will score the goals, and
the country will
be threatened in
near future.
In this
this context the
special dungeon(oubliette) which
carries as a great land mark
history of modern Bhutan, specifically known
by selected Ngalongpas
elderly people from the
western part of
Bhutan only.Although, the ambiguity
of the above political
cleavages is really
a great obstacle
of the refugees
who were driven
from Southern Bhutan
in accordance with
the pre-planned already
made by the
then Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi. The proofs
of the above
facts was expressed succinctly
and lucidly by
the Bumthangpas people with
Wangdi Tshering,Dy.Dzongdag
as he
was participated in persons for
land survey when I was
engaged for land
survey programs in the
year of 1978
at Jakar Dzongkhag(Bumthang) under
tang Gewog.They were
really expressed those
secrecies together at the time of
chatting with us.
About Monetary
unit
The greatest
secrecy of Bhutan interacted with
India is the
valuation of the Ngultrums. Because the
value of the
Bhutanese Ngultrums and Indian
rupees is still same,
another objectionable assignments
is that, in Bhutanese
Ngultrums only one
language is written(i.e.Dzongkha) and is
being circulated and
sold in equal
value within India too. The
irrespective causes that
the various people
living within the
country originated and must be identified by the
monetary units and
would be the main
symbol of the
number of peoples
and languages are
spoken within the original
home country(e.g. For the
naturalization from people’s birth soil).
As seen in
the Indian rupees
there are twenty
languages for different
cultures and spirited. It
is understandable that all
languages ought to be
honoured.In otherhand,Bhutan has no any
right symbolic pictures printed in
every notes excepts
kings and Dzongs,which
does not covered
the glorious meanings
of the beginnings
of the deity.
The first one
hand King Ugen
Wangchuk was only
a groom of
Zhabdrung Ngawang
Namgyal.And no continuous
hierarchy of the
ancestral of Ugen Wangchuk is recorded
for the preamble
of the country and
possible compilation into the
history of Bhutan.
I thought,
due to
the above circumstances, the impasse(refugees) is
being escalated in
Refugee camps and adhered
to be resettled
in different western countries
after eighteen years in
the refugee camps, Nepal. India who is the
intimate and closed
neighbor of the
southern part of Bhutan
remains silent enjoying
all the supportive
beneficiaries of the natural
resources of Bhutan bidding
equal money values. These
are due to
the above political
deadlocks, like the secrecy
of the holding
reign of Bhutan and
other important places
of Bhutan with
regularizing very old foreign
policies ,”as a showing
teeth” by India.
Thanks
for accepting my life story in Bhutan
(Hopefully please
expects, if I get time
and create positive environments of writing ,
I shall soon
produce my first part
and last parts of my
life story in Bhutan
and as well
as in Refugee
Camps in Nepal).Please
help me to
make it spread widely.
God bless America, Americans and Bhutanese people in
America
