Gangtok: The former Chief Minister of Sikkim, Shri L.D. Kazi Khangsarpa passed away on July 28 in his residence at Kalimpong. He was 103 years old, and he was under treatment, and his condition was stable for a week. Chief Minister Dr. Pawan Chamling, soon after hearing the demise of the first Chief of Sikkim, rushed to Kalimpong to pay the last tribute to the former CM. Shri Kazi was the first Chief Minister soon after the merger of Sikkim in 1975, and he is considered the architect of the merger of Sikkim into the Indian Union. With his passing away, an era of Sikkim's history has ended.
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.
