Bob Marley – A New God for the Bhutanese Youth?

Bob Marley has suddenly become a god among the already confused generation. The Rastafari Flag, with either Bob himself or with a marijuana leave on it, is all over the place. For someone who died in 1981 to brainwash smart kids of 21st century is so unbelievable.

Passang Tshering, a Bhutanese blogger and computer teacher at the Bajothang Higher Secondary School, Bhutan, wonders why Bob Marley is considered iconic among the Bhutanese youth today. Instead, he'd like to have them look up to the 12 people whose portraits he has hung up on the computer lab wall of his school

and wonder how they must have done what they have done. Wonder, Appreciate, and Get Inspired.
