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.

Rongli my birthplace

By himalayanreview
BY SHITAL PRADHAN A small hamlet in an eastern side Silent raush on its way, The old silk route, More older it look Upon which I stay, Hey that’s Rongli, Rongli my birthplace Years went by, years dried up, Yet the small village is as it was, Silent, peaceful and introvert Today’s picture of Rongli, Houses as station bogie, Looks a cradle, from Chujachen, Upon which the blue sky, As if I can touch thee, Roaring River, As the legend we hear, Still watch with glee, The terror of 1890 somewhat forgotten, Yet another terrorizing moment, 68 was the year… 1968, When sky too wasn’t pleased. That was Rongli, Rongli of the past. Playing along the Baar-Pepal tree, Hiding in the Shivalaya, Watching videos and aloft Is a decent memory, now? Sweet time in treasure, Yet when I am in Rongli, I am happy, in whither sweet. Rongli my birthplace !

India’s illegal occupation of independent Sikkim has to be reversed

By himalayanreview
Extracted from Pakistan Defence India’s “Chief Executive” in Gangtok wrote: “Sikkim’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end.

On one side was Queen Hope Cook, the American wife of the Chogyal and on the other was the Belgian wife of the Kazi, Elisa-Maria Standford. “This was a proxy war between the American and the Belgian,” says former chief minister BB Gurung. But there was a third woman involved: Indira Gandhi in New Delhi. Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker Hope Cook in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangrila. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thic...

The coinage system of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
It is more or less a forgotten part of the development process of the then-small Himalayan kingdom, Sikkim . The introduction of the coinage system in Sikkim ceased the way it started. A study of the coinage system of Sikkim sheds light on the socio-economic and political history of the then-small state. The coins of Sikkim ended the way they appeared; they came from nowhere, and finally, they got lost out in the darkness. A handful of people around Sikkim and in the districts of Darjeeling now have these rare items in their collections. The coin of Sikkim is much sought after by numismatists interested in countries that no longer exist today. Before the British invasion of the land of Sikkim, the capital revenue system was never heard. Sikkim, being an agricultural foreground, had some parts of food grains given to the king as tax. Trade was carried out where things were exchanged between individuals. This system was prevalent even in the mid-19th century; oranges were exchan...
