GANGTOK, June 12: A meeting of the Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee (SPCC) was held at the Congress Head Office here today.

According a press release issued by the party today, the meeting was chaired by SPCC President Nar Bahadur Bhandari. The Secretary, All India Congress Committee Maj. Ved Prakash, who is also the incharge of Sikkim and the North East States and in-charge of the Frontal Organisations, was the chief guest on the occasion.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Bhandari blamed the present SDF government for the “anarchical situation of the State resulting out of administrative and financial mismanagement.” He alleged that people of Sikkim were being deprived of their democratic rights and their hopes and aspirations were being suppressed. “No one dare raise voice against the government and the Chief Minister Pawan Chamling for the fear of victimization”, Mr. Bhandari said in the press release.

Maj. Ved Prakash advised the Congressmen to prepare for the imminent Panchayat and Local Body Elections of 2007 thereby emphasising on strengthening grass root level of the party for a better political footing in the State

Expressing his confidence in the State Congress, Maj. Ved Prakash described Mr. Bhandari an “experienced and seasoned leader, known all over India with whom the State Congress could definitely work towards achieving its goal of mitigating the sufferings of poor and innocent people of Sikkim,” the release states.

Maj. Prakash also expressed his opinion that the Congress would definitely form a government on its own in near future. He held a closed-door meeting with members of the Executive Body and Frontal Organisations, the press release adds.

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 ...

CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP (Indian of Sikkimese Origin)

By himalayanreview
from Sikkim Online CLARITY ON CITIZENSHIP Indian of Sikkimese Origin On 26th April 1975, Sikkim was appointed as 22nd state of India. On that day, Sikkim Citizens, Subject holder (Sikkimese) became Indian Citizen according to “Sikkim (Citizenship) Order, 1975” which says “Every person who immediately before the 26th day of April, 1975 was a Sikkim Subject under the Sikkim Subject Regulation 1961, shall be deemed to have become a citizen of India on that day”. As the Indian Constitution does not provide dual citizenship and there exist only citizenship for the whole of country, therefore, the regulation which provided Sikkim Citizenship (Subjects) commonly known as “Sikkim Subject Regulation Act, 1961” was repealed on 13th Sep 1975 according to “Adaptation of Sikkim Laws (No.1) Order” power conferred by clause (l) of Article 371-F of the Constitution which took effect from 26th April 1975 (appointed day).

The last Chogyal (King) of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
BY SHITAL PRADHAN I was not born when Sikkim became the 22nd state of the Indian Union, and the only information I have about the political identity of my Sikkim comes from literary knowledge and conversations with elderly people. I personally believe that no nation can develop unless its history, culture, and heritage are preserved. Sikkim, though now part of India, bears the responsibility of every Sikkimese to safeguard its past glory. Interestingly, a few days ago, my college-going nephew surprised me when he mentioned that a man named STNM could be the last Chogyal, while one of my colleagues added that TNA and TNSSS also bear the name of the last Chogyal. Well, is this the future of Sikkim? If we cannot enable the younger generation to connect with the facts and authenticity of Sikkim, the state will surely lose its vivacious historical pages. Twenty-five long years have passed since the passing away of the last Chogyal of Sikkim, Late Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal. Apart fr...
