I won two bronze medals along with another bronze for Sristikaa's Bronze medal

New Delhi: Roshan Prasad became the first Sikkimese to receive a Silver Medal in a National Philatelic Exhibition. He received Silver for his three-frame exhibit on “Cricket” at Stamps of India National Exhibition held at Okhla, New Delhi. Sikkim went on to win four more Bronze medals at the Exhibition.

Shital Pradhan won two bronze medals for his single exhibit on “Sikkim through Philately” and on the literary competition section for his article on Sikkim Rocket mail Experiment published at Talk Sikkim, a monthly magazine from Gangtok. Deepen Pradhan won for his single exhibit on “Pre Independence Stamps of India” while Sristikaa Pradhan, the only girl entry from Sikkim won a bronze for her single frame collection on “Buddha” at the Youth category.

Ganesh Padhan, President of Sikkim Philatelic Club along with Shital Pradhan and Deepen Pradhan were present at the prize distribution ceremony. Ganesh Pradhan told we are happy about the result and hope to better this in days to come. This is for the second time Sikkim had participated at National Level Philatelic Exhibition and we are happy to see our young philatelist winning 5 medals. We only could wish we too had such a stamp exhibition in Sikkim to promote philately in our state. I would like to mention that Sristikaa Pradhan was the youngest participant in the entire exhibition and her exhibit won a bronze medal, it is encouraging, Pradhan added.

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...
