The two articles I wrote about the reunion of Wynberg-Allen School members, Mussoorie When the Alwynian Met after 41 years in Sikkim - I and its second part, When the Alwynian Met after 41 years in Sikkim - ii hold special to me. The article was itself a historical moment of an account of the reunion of old school teachers meeting up with their old students at Gangtok in late November. My Dhaba, Ghanashyam Pradhan at Parakha, contacted Shanker Menon, his old friend in Oman, through my blog, and I am happy I was the medium between them.

This time around, my Dhaba contacted Mr LO Edwards, his old Headmaster at Wynberg-Allen School, and is very pleased to share the letter sent by his old Headmaster through this blog. He wishes that if any of his old friends come across this article, they can contact him.

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 ...
