Samten Bhutia comes with a nepali film "Letter"

By himalayanreview






With the promo and the posters of the latest Nepali film "Letter", I am sure the filmmaking in Sikkim is going to have a major change in approach. This Nepali film about the mental disease called "split personality"  with a flavor of suspense and mystery is all about to be released. 

Uttam Pradhan and Bishal Chamling is the lead actor while Annie Zimba will be making her film debut. The film is directed by Samten Bhutia who also has penned the story and its screenplay. It is to be noted that Samten Bhutia had earlier acted in the short English film Myth, made in Sikkim.

History on Easter Sunday and Padari Ganga Prasad Pradhan

By himalayanreview
By Seira Tamang As noted by various scholars, Hinduism, the Nepali language, the monarchy and a rastriya itihas (a chronicle of progress in which the dark era of Rana rule is contrasted with the enlightened, progressive and modern period of Panchayat rule) formed the core of the Panchayat regime’s national culture. The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents. Such accounts reveal how ordinary people lived in the past, and offer ways to think through how ‘history’ is crafted, shaped and managed in order to reflect ‘the reality’ best suited to the status quo, ...

The Gorkhas - Sons of the Soil, Pride of the Nation

By himalayanreview
 Nanda Kirati Dewan, a journalist from Assam traces the origin of the Gorkhas in India. Many people have misconceptions about the Gorkhas in India - that they are foreigners and have migrated from Nepal. There could not be a greater mistake than this. The Gorkhas are in fact the aborigines of India and they can trace their history back to ancient times. The Gorkha community is the product of Indo-Aryan and Mongoloid assimilation from ages past. As a linguistic group, they can trace their origin back to Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Burman beginnings. In fact, the Gorkhas consist of both Indo-Aryan and Mongoloid racial groups. In the Mahabharata and Manusmriti names of Khasa are mentioned. They are in fact the Gorkhas. The Gorkhas spoke the language then known as Khaskura Khasas as a community existed in Nepal which it later changed to another ethnic name. The Lichchhavis, one of the aboriginal tribes of India originally lived in the plains of present Nepal. During the early centu...

Know Singtam!! my hometown

By himalayanreview
This is how Singtam looks from Google Earth! Singtam is a town in the East district of Sikkim. Singtam is often referred to as the business capital of Sikkim since it connects the four districts of Sikkim. Singtam comes from a Lepcha word that says about a place where logs were collected. It had been known for ages that the rivers used to carry tree logs from distant places and leave along the bank of Singtam. All the places of Singtam Lal bazaar were once river banks. Singtam is better known among the folks for its Government Fruit Preservation Factory located at Shantinagar, the only motorable tunnel in the state at Toppakhani and the oldest iron bridge of Sikkim at the heart of the town. Friday weekly haat is very popular among the neighbouring places.
