NAYUMA TELEVISION TURNS 6

By himalayanreview
GANGTOK, June 6: Nayuma Television, which turns six today, decided to celebrate the occasion by taking part in some philanthropy work.

The paediatric ward at the STNM Hospital here has been gifted with a 35 litre geyser that was installed in its kitchen.

The team of Nayuma Television, headed by Roshan Rai, Managing Director, Gajendra Ghaley, General Manager and others handed over the geyser to the Medical Superintendent, STNM, RL Sharma and Additional Medical Superintendent V. Shingi. The team also distributed chocolates and sweets to the children in the paediatric ward.

Talking to SIKKIM EXPRESS, Mr. Rai said since last year, Nayuma Television has been celebrating their anniversary by doing some social works. A massive plantation drive was also carried out by the Nayuma family last year at the vicinity of the MLA hostel located here at the Tibet Road.

The lone cable television provider in the Capital also announced some exciting programme packages for its viewers on the occasion. Nayuma Television will soon start a weekly news roundup programme. “This programme will carry the recap of the entire week’s events and happenings in the State in a more detailed manner which is not possible in daily news,” he said. A musical show to showcase new musical talents in the State is also in the pipeline.

At the moment, about 70 channels are provided by Nayuma Television to cable subscribers. A new channel, “Star Cricket,” will be soon added to the list. Mr. Rai said that there are plans to expand Nayuma Cable Television network to more parts of the State. “Nayuma Television has been providing jobs to more than 50 unemployed youths in the State. It will be our endeavour to continue this practise and provide even better services to our subscribers in the coming days,” he said.

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...
