Chief Minister Chamling urged the people to take active part in second phase of green mission in the state taking the lesson from past mistake

By himalayanreview
The Chief Minister's vision is to make Sikkim fully green and opt for eco-tourism as a sustainable development in the State. With this objective in his top agenda, Chief Minister Chamling started the second phase of the Green Mission by planting saplings at Aritar, East Sikkim, along with his wife, Tika Maya Chamling, on May 25. While addressing a mammoth gathering at Chintan Bhavan, Gangtok, on 26, Chief Minister Chamling urged all the State's people to actively and proactively participate in the State green mission. 

"All the ministers, MLAs, officers, employees, teachers, students, and the people must come forward to preserve the greenery in the state and make the mission fully successful, which will be a great contribution to the state and the future generation. He said that the green mission must be a precedent and tradition in the State, and the Government is determined to pass legislation and enforce it strictly to protect the environment in the State. 

He also said that the garbage and soil disposal due to the construction of houses and roads must be well managed, and the soil must not be spattered or collected sixes and sevens. The beauty of the town must not be destroyed by hanging cable and telephone wires at random, he added, and warned if such a thing were repeated, the proper action would be taken against the guilty. He reaffirmed to the people that they must inculcate the habit of planting saplings and growing trees on their land because it is just like saving money in the bank. Chief Minister said that the popular natural lake Tsomo or Changu Lake is on the verge of drying away and warned that if proper treatment is not given to its condition, it may dry away within two years. He said that based on past experience, the green mission's second phase must be successful.

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, ...

Shapi of Sikkim: Our legacy -iii

By himalayanreview
A Sikkimese with a Shapi The two previous articles I wrote in my earlier edition on Shapi were wonderful to read for people around, and appreciation had been received from different corners of the state. I am thankful and find pleasure in people finding joy in my findings and research work. It was a bit surprising that very few had heard about Shapi, our rare legacy.  Nevertheless, I am happy to be part of history for re-introducing Shapi to those sections of my readers who had never heard about this old and sacred mountain mammal, a native of Sikkim. I dedicate my writing on Shapi to Ongden Daju (RO), who has been very supportive of me ever since I first published its first part a few months back. It was he who wanted me to continue with the third part of Shapi since more findings were evolving after my two writings. I shall always remain grateful to JR Subba, Jt Director from the Forest Department, for providing me with a valuable census report of Shapi done by the Department...

The late Jungkyang Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal, seated with his mother Queen Mother Denzong Lhayumkusho, daughter of Rakasha family of Tibet, and Prince Wangchuk whose late mother hails from the Samdrup Phodrang family of Tibet. Standing next to Denzong Queen Mother is the senior Rakasha Lhachamkusho, daughter of Raja Tsodrak Namgyal Taring of Sikkim, the eldest son of Chogyal Thutop Namgyal, who gave up the Sikkimese throne to his younger brother Sir Chogyal Tashi Namgyal in favour of staying in Tibet.  The Taring family of Tibet enabled into Tibetan high society by the great 13th Dalai Lama, is legitimately the unbroken elder line of the Royal Namgyal lineage of Sikkim, since Raja Tsodrak Namgyal was the Crown Prince of Sikkim, and his sons and grandsons today go by the Taring family name. Standing in the picture is also Princess Kukula, sister of the Chogyal married to the Phuenkhang family of Tibet.  Rakasha Tsetop, Rakasha Tseten, Yap Dr. Paljor, Soden Wangdi, Chimi ...
