History

Answer:

After the Zhabdrung went into meditation in 1651 (and presumably died), his death was kept secret due the ongoing troubles with Tibet and his failure to establish a viable order of succession.

In 1907, in an effort to reform the dysfunctional system, the penlops orchestrated the establishment of a Bhutanese monarchy with Ugyen Wangchuck, the penlop of Trongsa installed as hereditary king, with the support of Britain and against the wishes of Tibet. The royal family suffered from questions of legitimacy in its early years, with the reincarnations of the various Zhabdrungs posing a threat. According to one Drukpa source, the Zhabdrung's brother Chhoki Gyeltshen (who had been to India) challenged the 1926 accession of King Jigme Wangchuck. He was rumored to have met with Mahatma Gandhi to garner support for the Zhabdrung against the king. The 7th Zhabdrung, Jigme Dorji was then "retired" to Talo Monastery and died in 1931, under rumors of assassination. He was the last Zhabdrung recognized by Bhutan; subsequent claimants to the incarnation have not been recognized by the government.[3]:27[23]

In 1962, Jigme Ngawang Namgyal (known as Zhabdrung Rinpoche to his followers) fled Bhutan for India where he spent the remainder of his life. Up until 2002, Bhutanese pilgrims were able to journey to Kalimpong, just south of Bhutan, to visit him. On April 5, 2003, the Zhabdrung died. Some of his followers claim he was poisoned,[24] while the Bhutanese national newspaper, Kuensel, took pains to explain he died after an extended bout with cancer.[citation needed]

His successor, Jigdrel Ngawang Namgyal, was born in 2003.

Which is the BEST example of a "Robber baron" using his wealth in a "philanthropic" manner?
zepelin [54]

Answer: B) Cornelius Vanderbilt and the $1 million endowment he gave to Vanderbilt University.

"Robber barons" were powerful businessmen of the 19th-century United States who made their fortunes through dubious practices. Some of these morally questionable strategies are monopolies, the formation of trusts, exploitation of workers, etc. Cornelius Vanderbilt is an example of this type of industrialist. Moreover, a donation to Vanderbilt University is likely to be seen by most people as a "philanthropic" or charitable act.
