Should Bhutan promote GNH abroad?

The GNH is very important philosophy in the countries like technologically and economically backward in the world. The most of the wealthy nation takes account the 'Gross Domestic Product' (GDP). Gross Domestic Product in Bhutanese society has given least importance than the GNH. The GNH is significantly growing further popular in the Nation like Kingdom of Bhutan.

The GNH stands for Gross National Happiness. GNH was first introduced and initiated by Former King of Bhutan Jigme Singye Wangchuck in drawn of 1970s, the unique developmental philosophy with bold intensions to get well known in the country not to the world. Later on, His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyelpo enhanced the GNH philosophies, which in turn gained popular in and around the world within short span of time. Bhutan was well identified and expands its popularity to the world because of the GNH - the true therapeutic philosophy initiated by Fourth King. 

The question here is Should Bhutan promote GNH abroad? The answer for the question is discussed with positive connotations that would help understand how much GNH is an important for the rest of the countries of the world. 

The GNH have four pillars which is indeed obliging for the poor and backward countries to come up with new ideas of development. The four pillars includes; the conservation of environment, preservation of culture, sustainable development and good governance. The conversation of environment would facilitate to uphold our evergreen nature of the environment around for the future generations. Culture and tradition would be preserved and protected for generations without any changes. In country like Bhutan and other small nations of the world with very low gross domestic product and income for the people, the sustainable development would lend a hand to maintain developmental process judiciously. Then the good governance would draw closer and subsist in such countries for extensively. Therefore, I would truly say that Bhutan should promote GNH philosophies abroad.

These days, GNH gained its name and fame all over the world; be it big or small, rich or poor and technologically advanced or backward countries, they all are committed to encourage our GNH philosophy to flourish and burgeon all over the world more than what is today. These philosophies helped Bhutan gain it popularity in the universe. Our country, the Kingdom of Bhutan was visited by numerous delegation teams to see how GNH subsist in the country which is called as the Birth place of GNH. Frequently, our former Prime Minister was invited to the western countries to talk on GNH which in return got foreign aids that helped our developmental process come to unexpected accomplishment. Thus, Bhutan the birth land of GNH should promote GNH philosophies abroad. 

GNH counts a lot in every developmental process, when development of infrastructure begun, the Environment will be definitely affected, Equity will be ruined, Culture will be vanished and Governance system might change adversely. But to keep all above mentioned unaffected, ruined, vanished and changed, the GNH is appropriate guide. If we the people of the world keep in mind the 'Four Pillars' of GNH, all these things may not happen in the society rather peace and happiness may prevail undoubtedly. Therefore, GNH is vital to be promoted and encouraged to expand its philosophies all over the world.
