KAPIL THAPA FAN CLUB – DELHI

'History repeats itself once as a Tragedy and Second Time as a Farce"

The ultimate reunion of Gorkhas once again in a quest for identity was dealt with severe torture, hard work, dedication and perseverance.

The integration of Gorkhas dates back to 1835 AD, but it repeatedly failed due to catechism.

Thus, in an age of realization, an age of McDonald's and Coke, all our young Gorkhas were driven into a world of Modernization and, of course, into the threshold of a corporate world. By virtue of being Gorkhas, we live as Gorkhas worldwide.

The world of Gorkhas was never invaded or conquered, and there will be no will to do so in the future. Alexander 'The Great' failed, Napoleon III had a signatory agreement, Hitler had all the praises, and Joseph Stalin paid the homage, not forgetting the British were always in good relations with the Gorkhas.

In the history books, Afghanistan was under Gorkha's control, China was, Burma was, and the whole world was. But today, when the euphoria of the aftermath of Indian Idol creeps in, the Gorkhas must unite once again. No one will come for unification, but the community must stand by the side of the Gorkhas as a whole.

Kapil Thapa, the 'Gorkha' army men, will rule and will have to win. We are the conquerors, and we will rule again, this time once again in the form of a melancholic tune so soothing in the heart of a million Gorkhas worldwide. Gorkhas Came! Gorkhas Saw! and the Gorkhas will conquer once again.

Furthermore, on January 14, 2009, the Kapil Fan Club, Delhi, was formed on Maghay Sangrati to mobilize the cause.

The executive body members are:

Y.K. Shrestha, President

Robert Tamang, Vice President

Deep Lama, Secretary,

Vishal Kirat Rai, Media and Publicity

Nelson Pradhan, Co-ordinator

Kamal Prahdan, Co-ordinator

The Executive body has requested people from every walk of life to support the generous cause.

Also, Kapil Fan Club, Delhi, would like to thank Ms. Jyoti Thapa Mani for her support.

Those early man tools found in Sikkim!

By himalayanreview
--> Display of Neolithic tools recovered from Sajyong, 2003 (Weekend Review) BY SHITAL PRADHAN Not only is the Himalayan land of Sikkim old but it is also considered ancient. The archeological findings of different Neolithic tools in this part of the Himalayas over the last three decades speak of its antiquity. It may be of little importance to many. However, findings of various Neolithic tools from the remote pockets in Sikkim over the past five decades have still collected vivid interest in people beyond this region. On three separate occasions, Neolithic tools had been dug out from Sikkim, and that unfolded the age of this Himalayan mountain land much against the period we were supposed to. “The term Neolithic Period, or New Stone Age, defines the second period, at the beginning of which ground and usually polished rock tools, notably axes, came into widespread use after the adoption of a new technique of stone working. The beginning of the Neolithic...

History on Easter Sunday and Padari Ganga Prasad Pradhan

By himalayanreview
By Seira Tamang As noted by various scholars, Hinduism, the Nepali language, the monarchy and a rastriya itihas (a chronicle of progress in which the dark era of Rana rule is contrasted with the enlightened, progressive and modern period of Panchayat rule) formed the core of the Panchayat regime’s national culture. The formation and consolidation of this national culture have required the expunging of uncomfortable facts and stories that might raise ambiguities and questions. While the selection of what and who is and is not acknowledged to exist (or at least exist in historically important ways) in official Nepali history is complex, social scientists have begun to provide more comprehensive historical accounts of the past through oral histories and re-readings of historical documents. Such accounts reveal how ordinary people lived in the past, and offer ways to think through how ‘history’ is crafted, shaped and managed in order to reflect ‘the reality’ best suited to the status quo, ...

Shapi of Sikkim: Our legacy -iii

By himalayanreview
A Sikkimese with a Shapi The two previous articles I wrote in my earlier edition on Shapi were wonderful to read for people around, and appreciation had been received from different corners of the state. I am thankful and find pleasure in people finding joy in my findings and research work. It was a bit surprising that very few had heard about Shapi, our rare legacy.  Nevertheless, I am happy to be part of history for re-introducing Shapi to those sections of my readers who had never heard about this old and sacred mountain mammal, a native of Sikkim. I dedicate my writing on Shapi to Ongden Daju (RO), who has been very supportive of me ever since I first published its first part a few months back. It was he who wanted me to continue with the third part of Shapi since more findings were evolving after my two writings. I shall always remain grateful to JR Subba, Jt Director from the Forest Department, for providing me with a valuable census report of Shapi done by the Department...
