Loss of traditional structures an economic disaster in making, Dont you think so?
The Rupee crunch in shooting, I think
is because of the adaption of modern culture into our housing and
construction boom, mainly the housing to be precise.
If this is not all the one, I believe it is the one of the main cause.
How many aspects of imports does it
accompany, the labour import and the materials of different kind that
contributes to unemployment and slashing the local products and local
traditional structures.
Had we been in our own nation sticked
to our own traditional ways but with revolution ofcourse, it would
not have been such a economic disaster in making.
Take an example of construction in
Bumthang Dzognkha for instance, only imported materials they use in
their construction of building is materials for toilet and
electricity yet there are such a magnificent traditional structures
standing unique suiting the Bhutanese way.
And on the other hand, those builders
are the locals who are mostly engaged from eastern parts of the
country, some even as young as in their early 20's assisting the
elder zows while picking up the skills from them. Providing income
for the locals as well as providing opportunity for younger's an
opportunity and limiting the outflow of the money we have.
Isn't it in the best interest of
Bhutan's economic self reliance?
And who started the borrowed modern
structures of buildings that led to such a massive outflow of money.
The Big bosses, who did not care the Big bosses, the bureaucrats.
Because they are the most authoritative figures until the recent
democracy.
One may argue in the changing this
would have been needed, but Bumthang is changing with in our own
traditional ways, with traditional structures that did not need much
rupee to be spent and so why cant any other be the same.
Bumthang also have adopted not to allow
any untraditional structures, shall move with the same and
authorities and need be a legal back up also should be provided. I
Think a legal back need to be in place because a company or an
individuals like the Aman, that have succeeded in placing a totally
untraditional structures needs to be taken care.
Such a simple policy couldn't it be so
positive for our economic drive while it also serve well in the best
interest of traditional conservation. Using just the Stone, Wood and
cement that we have from within, but with out lots of metals that
needs Indian labours to work on.
