Quarantine is quality-time to do great research and writing. Excited with the prospect of publishing this book on modern monarchy by next year. Bhutan’s monarchy teases and debunks many assumptions on kingship in scholarship based on western historical experiences of monarchy.

A summary of my forthcoming book is posted on my Facebook page. It’s about 2008 elections generally and more so about how DPT won in 2008 and lost in 2013!

@there4u_always I quoted your tweet in its entirety today in the last chapter of my upcoming book on 2008 elections. It’s in the context of misuse and abuse of monarchy by some entities!

This is deeply shocking and worrisome. Saw the news only today. Heard the voice recording as well. Preaching violence is anti-thetical to our democracy.

@RanaMadhukar It will, soon, as a book. Thanks

I though life would be slower after leaving office. But the last one month went much faster than expected. Felt like a few a few days ago when I left office! Need to slow down a bit. Good day to everyone!

[Sonam Kinga @sonamkinga]

Reading this and admiring how kings embody kingship idealized in this book!

Rest after days of public meetings. Visiting Rigsum Gonpo today for blessings and also to understand issues about it raised by the people.

Today I round up my visit to Tashi Yangtse by meeting with the people of Bumdeling and Yangtse gewogs. It has been very fulfilling so far.
