In recent years whenever India announces its annual budget, a news headline that accompanies it is the aid given to Bhutan.

Bhutan is shown as the highest aid recipient but what is unexplained is what India gets in return.

India gets a lot back strategically & economically.

We do have border issues like most countries but here scores are for electoral process, political pluralism & participation, functioning of govt, freedom of expression & of belief, associational & organizational rights, rule of law & personal autonomy & individual rights.

Depends how you define 'free,' Tenzing. China's incursions into Bhutanese territory certainly test the notion of freedom. We face the same problem, no doubt.

Good to see Bhutan in the free category. The only one in South Asia.

According to this map shared by the US embassy in Australia India and the rest of South Asia is only "partly free"

Bhutan’s largest stadium and nearby grounds in Thimphu fill to the brim as the 17th Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorji is about to deliver his blessings.
