By himalayanreview
GANGTOK, Nov. 7: NRT Nepal won the ‘29th All India Governor’s Gold Cup Football Tournament 2007’ beating Three Star Nepal with 2-1 goals in the final match today. But only about 30,000 people witnessed the match today as both the teams were from Nepal. The match was no doubt very interesting since the fans applauded both the teams. 

Crowds were seen waving Nepal’s national flag cheering their team. The first goal was, however, made by Niranjan Raymajhi from NRT Nepal in 18 minutes but that was returned with one goal by Jumannu Rai from Three Star Nepal, an opponent team in 33 minutes. This goal made NRT Nepal more vigorous after which Bal Gopal Shaukhal made a goal in 51 minutes. During the match interval chief minister Mr Pawan Chamling felicitated Mr Nirmal Chandra Dhahal a physically and mentally challenged boy who recently won the gold medal in the Special Olympic Game held at Shanghai in China and a veteran local footballer Chewang Thendup Shangderpa. 

The winning team took the Governor’s Gold Cup and the other team was awarded the runners’ up cup. Three players from NRT Nepal namely Jumannu Rai was awarded “highest scorer”, Basant Gauchan was awarded “man of the tournament” and Anil Gurung the player of the final”. But the Punjab Police which lost in the semi-final was awarded the “best disciplined team”. All the prizes were given by Mr Pawan Chamling as state governor Mr Sudarshan Agarwal was not present at the finals. The winners got a cash prize of Rs 50, 000 from Sikkim Football Association.

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...
