Don’t disrespect the royals

Bhutan transitioned from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy in 2008. Speaking bad and criticizing the royal family is nearly considered as profanity and blasphemy since they are viewed as manifestations of divine beings. It is blasphemy to criticize them. Other no-nos include the Nepali "issue," which resulted in the deportation of an estimated 100,000 Southern Bhutanese (ethnic Nepalis) in the early 1990s, and disrespecting religious figures.
