Ravi Lamichanne is Under Hot Tin Roof

There’s no confirmed evidence that Rabi Lamichhane is orchestrating any “secret plans” from prison. What we do know paints a tumultuous portrait, not one of clandestine strategizing: Lamichhane filed a 20-page statement from Bhairahawa prison, claiming his arrest was part of a political conspiracy. He positioned himself as a celebrated voice in Parliament whose rising influence may have threatened old elites  . However, there’s no credible report indicating he’s coordinating operations behind bars. Legally, he remains in judicial custody after April 2025, following a High Court ruling that overturned his bail order. The Supreme Court upheld this in May, affirming that there is sufficient prima facie evidence against him, including charges of fraud and organized crime in the cooperative embezzlement case  . In other key developments, Lamichhane challenged his bail terms and appealed to higher courts after initially securing bail multiple    Rabi Lamichhane is de...

Yak

Known for its distinctive appearance and impressive adaptability, the yak has been an integral part of the region's ecosystem and culture for centuries. Physical Characteristics Yaks are large, long-haired bovids with a sturdy build and a distinctive hump on their shoulders. They have a thick coat of fur that helps them survive in extreme cold temperatures, and their broad hooves provide stability on steep and rocky terrain. Adult yaks can weigh between 350-580 kg (770-1,280 lbs) and reach heights of 1.2-1.8 meters (4-6 feet) at the shoulder.

Bhutanese Americans Deported From Harrisburg!!

  In early March 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained six Bhutanese refugees residing in central Pennsylvania—five from the Harrisburg area and one from Cumberland County. These individuals, all legal permanent residents with green cards, were apprehended without clear explanations provided to their families.   Community leaders and local officials have expressed deep concern over these actions. Dauphin County Commissioner Justin Douglas emphasized that these men are integral members of the community, stating, “They work here, they pay taxes here, they raise their kids here. They are part of the fabric of this region.”  Some of the detainees have prior criminal records, including nonviolent offenses such as public drunkenness or harassment. However, community leaders argue that any legal issues should be addressed through the judicial system, not through sudden detentions by ICE.  The Bhutanese community in Harrisburg, numbering approxi...

What was the main reasons Bhutanese Nepali were Deported From Bhutan ?

  The deportation of Bhutanese Nepali people, also known as Lhotshampa, from Bhutan about 30 years ago was primarily rooted in ethnic, cultural, and political tensions. The main reasons were: 1. Bhutanization Policy (Cultural Homogenization): • The Bhutanese government introduced a policy in the 1980s and 1990s aimed at preserving the cultural identity of the majority Drukpa population, based on their Tibetan Buddhist traditions. • The government enforced the “One Nation, One People” policy, requiring all citizens to follow Drukpa cultural norms, such as wearing the national dress (gho and kira) and speaking Dzongkha, Bhutan’s official language. This marginalized the Lhotshampa community, who primarily spoke Nepali and followed Hindu traditions. 2. Citizenship Act of 1985: • The Bhutanese government tightened citizenship laws, requiring proof of residence in Bhutan before 1958 to claim citizenship. Many Lhotshampa were unable to provide the necessary documentation....

How Immigrants Will Be Affected In Trumps Presidency

  As of January 2025, President-elect Donald Trump has outlined a series of immi policies set to take effect upon his inauguration on January 20. These proposed measures include: 1. Mass Deportations:  Plans are underway to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, with the administration aiming to remove between 15 to 20 million individuals.
