What Should be Min. Edn Quali. for Legislators of Sikkim

By himalayanreview
There is a wonderful forum for the people of Sikkim, by the people of Sikkim and off the people, places of Sikkim. The forum is called Sikkimonline.info and we do share our thought about our Sikkim in it. There was one thread where we tried to sought out what could be the minimum qualifications required for the posts of Sikkim State Assembly. I do feel politics these days have become a profession rather than those old days social service serving to the people.

Comming back to that particular post i am talking about we had few opinions that minimum qualification should be around any form of graduation and some political experience before the big prize. And in between this there was one friend with byname "Chalamthangey" who had done some nice work regarding the required qualification for the SLA which i would like to share with everyone...

Chalamthangey says...

"Truly admitting I am of the different opinion. I percept the following criteria for their eligibility for those who are holding key portfolios.

i) Minister HRD: A veteran Academician
ii) Minister PWD, Building & Housing and other similar trades: Minimum M.Tech
iii) Minister Forest, Environment & Wildlife: M. Sc. Ecology & Environment, M. Sc. Disaster Mitigation
iv) Minister Finance: MA , Ph.D. in Economics, M.Com, CA, MBA (Finance)
v) Minister Science & Technolgy: A Senior Research Fellow holding a Ph.D in any of the applied sciences.
vi) Minister RMDD: M. Sc in Sustainable development, MA Ph.D. in Sociology
vii) Minister Tourism: Master in tourism & hospitality management.
viii) Minister Health: A celebrated retired physician having MD in any of the clinical disciplines of medicines like medicine, surgery, ENT, Radiology, Opthalmology, Obstetrics & Gaenecology, Pathology, Dermatology, TB & Chest, Paedeatrics, Orthopedics, neurology, nephrology etc.
ix) Minister PHED: M.Sc in chemistry, Biotechnology
x) Minister Agriculture: M. Sc. Ph.D in Agriculture.
xi) Minister UDHD: A Veteran Architect having degree in Architecture
xii) Minister Excise: Msc. Chemistry with degree in blending technology.
xiii) Minister Home: IAS
xiv) MP: MA Phd in International Relations.

It was something worth giving a read but can these ever come to be materialize and how shall our Sikkim look if it really happens.

    agreeing with Dr. Sharma, and the writer of the blog, I would like to take this opportunity to state that in the context of Sikkim, the minimum qualification should be matriculation, and trust me, many of the politicians would fumble upon seeing the word "matriculation" because they are school dropouts, save the PhD's and Master's degree...

    these propagandist's only know how to be unpatriotic, towards one's state and one's country, as they have not gone through an formal education and believe you in me sir's, a person devoid of knowledge is similar to a person devoid of wisdom !!!

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. Maybe if the Chogyal had been smarter and played his cards better, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.” It is also said that the real battle was not between the Chogyal and Kazi Lendup Dorji but between their wives. 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...
