    Some call the queen the traitor because she left him when the king needed her the most.

    Is there any sentiment today among the people of Sikkim for regaining their independence? Is there any support for restoring the monarchy? Or are the people content with their present status as a state of India?

    I write this as an American who wishes to learn more about Sikkim.

    Here are two links about Sikkim:

    http://www.nepalitimes.com.np/issue/35/Nation/9621

    and

    http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,913029,00.html

    By the way this is not the first time India grab other people's land. Tibetans were victims of India aggression too.

    "In October 1947, they [the Tibetans] formally requested India to return their territory from Ladakh to Assam, and including Sikkim. The Indians in return simply asked Tibet to continue the relationship on the basis of the previous British Government." see pg 7 of India's China war by Neville Maxwell.

    Again,

    "In response to the protests of the Tibetan authorities in Lhasa, the Indian officials stated that India was taking over Tawang. The Tibetans protested again that they "deeply regret and absolutely cannot accept” what the Indian government "seizing as its own what did not belong to it." The Indian government ignored the protests, forced the Tibetan administration out, and stayed on in Tawang, as the British did in Dirang Dzong in 1944." see pg 8 of India's China war by Neville Maxwell.

    By the way India aggression to her neighbors is not confined to Sikkim. China is a victim too. But China is big enough to defend herself, unlike Sikkim. Please listen to this podcast, also from Neville Maxwell, author of India's China War:

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 ...
