Pawan Chamling talks about new programme of ‘Open Democracy’ at Sikkim Vijay Sankalp Rally

By himalayanreview
Namthang, 1st April: Pawan Chamling reached Kateng under Namthang-Rateypani constituency today on the 4th day of the 10-day long Sikkim Vijay Sankalp Rally. People from the neighbouring Melli constituency joined in. The event was widely streamed and about 3 lakh people tuned in on social media.
Addressing the public, he said that, “The first priority of the SDF government is to provide best water supply to all our citizens here and extension and widening of all roads across Sikkim”. He further added that “Our next SDF government will establish new sustainable tourist spots in Temi Tarku which will develop this area as a major tourist attraction and provide employment to the residents of these constituencies”.




He talked about some key promises including ensuring that the integrity of the old laws of Sikkim are maintained and protected, developing a biodiversity park for research, developing public auditoriums and playgrounds in Namthang and Melli and distribution of LPG gas cylinders to every household by suppliers.
He further talked about a new programme called ‘Open Democracy’, wherein one day during every Assembly session will be observed as Janta Raj Diwas. On that day, public interest issues will be directly discussed and passed in the House after thorough deliberation. People can register the public interest issues and demands through an organized mechanism of toll-free helpline numbers and the same would be compiled and submitted in the Assembly. This new idea of dedicating one whole day to address issues, demands and genuine grievances of the public in the State Legislative Assembly will be the first such initiative anywhere in the world. Through this programme, the voice of people will directly reach the highest decision-making forum in the State.

He urged the people to vote once again in favour of SDF party in the upcoming elections. On the previous 3 days of the Sikkim Vijay Sankalp Rally, Pawan Chamling addressed the public in Soreng, Mangan and Gagtok. On the days to follow he will be addressing the public in Rorathang, Kabi, Ravangla, Geyzing, Mining, Rangpo and Jorethang. The election to the 32-member Sikkim Assembly is being held on 11th April alongside the Lok Sabha election.

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 ...

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.

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...
