		<description><![CDATA[When the Kashag issued its effusive eulogy of the late Ngabo Ngawang Jigme – within twenty four hours of his death (a record time for any official response to anything to date) - some people expressed surprise, even dismay at Dharamshala’s action. What such people failed to take into account in their reasoning was the [...]]]></description>

But first of all we have to put in place that one indispensable (but missing) institution in our incomplete democratic set-up, the lack of which makes the role of our current Kalon Tripa resemble that of a chanzoe (manager) of a monastery or labrang, and not the prime minister of a democratic nation.]]></description>
