JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

By himalayanreview
This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

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.

Danny Denzongpa's first nepali film Mashal

By himalayanreview
Danny Denzongpa 's first Nepali film, Mashal , was produced by Sikkim Films Corporation Private Limited . Pratap Subba , a popular Nepali film director, directed it. The film was released in 1982. The film had the acting talents of that generation— Rajani Sharma , Danny Denzongpa, Sunil Thapa , Tej Rasaily, Ashok Sharma, Sushila Rayamaji, Ganesh Rijal, C. K. Shreshta, and others. Danny played a blind retired army man, while Sunil Thapa, also in his first Nepali film, was the villain. Kusum Gazmer wrote the lyrics, and Ranjit Gaazmer provided the music. Three songs — Yo Badaal , Dara Khola,  and  Ropaa Hai—are  still remembered to this day. The singers were Udit Narayan , Deepa Ghatraj, and Sushma Shrestha . In an interesting anecdote, I was told by Bhim Rawat, senior journalist and former President of the Sikkim Press Club, that he had watched the movie at Sri Krishna Hall at Rhenock , paying Rs. 1.50 paise for the ticket.
